The Canadian based IWF aims to make ancient Indian healing knowledge and Indian products available to everyone worldwide. In this way, people with classical symptoms of the most common of society's illnesses can be helped.

A portion of the profits from the sale of this extraordinary product goes to the "First Nation People", the current honorific designation of the Indians in Canada.

Their portions of the proceeds are intended to support educational programs, as well as the preservation of Indian cultural heritage. This is aligned with the philosophy of "Win-Win" principles (promote and profit) and is also an ethical compensation for the commercial use of Indian Wisdom.

On the trail of the truth - the discovery of an ancient medicine

In 1994, Dr. Martina Kaessner Fischer, a scientific journalist from Switzerland traveled to Canada to investigate reports about the various, so-called Indian “wonder” medicines.

Following an introduction by the Department of Northern and Indian Affairs, she was able to meet with Indian chiefs, Elders and Shamans. She traveled with her old “Citroen-CV-2-Charleston”, a little two horsepower car. Her investigative journey took her many weeks and 6,300 km across Canada, visiting different tribes of the First Nation people.

As she won the trust and confidence of the Elders and Shamans, the First Nation People gradually revealed to her the secrets of their ancient, traditional healing methods, using pictures, stories and symbols. They explained to her how they use what they consider “holy” herbs, plants, roots and bark to heal sick people.

They divulged to her the secrets of the miraculous healing ability of tea essences - which they have been using for thousands of years.

Based on the trust she had developed with the First Nation People, they decided that the time had come to share their healing secrets with the world, as a gesture of reconciliation to White People and as way to heal the earth and to renew the Universe.

As a result of this sharing, the Indian Wisdom Foundation was born, with its sole aim and objective to disseminate the principles of traditional Indian medicine.

The European Experience

Martina returned to Europe, taking with her samples of the herbs, plants, roots and bark as well as the formula to prepare these. Using a laboratory in Switzerland, these ingredients were dried and formulated into a tea - original INDIAN*ESSENCE.

Samples of this tea were given to friends and colleagues to test its efficacy and to start to generate awareness in Europe of this ancient healing tradition.

She was completely unprepared for the response! As word of this healing essence spread, the demand to obtain the tea increased dramatically. Almost overnight, the story of original INDIAN*ESSENCE appeared in many publications in Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Italy, France and Poland and with it, the number of people who wished to try this miraculous tea themselves. Over the past ten years, original INDIAN*ESSENCE has enjoyed a remarkable success in Europe, a success that continues today.

Dr. Martina Kaessner Fischer and her husband, Dr. Roland-Romain Fischer decided that this wonderful product should also be made available to the people of North America. Therefore, In 1997 they returned to Canada to set up the Canadian Centre of the Indian Wisdom Foundation.
