Herbal Detox Tea
Our herbal detox tea is one of the most important parts of a successful whole body detox diet. The medicinal herbs in this tea will enhance your body’s ability to detox effectively by supporting and strengthening your detoxifying organs.
This tea uses specific herbs chosen to support your liver, kidneys and adrenal system, clean your blood, and promote elimination through proper digestion and sweating. Your detox symptoms will be greatly reduced, if not eliminated, by using this herbal tea to facilitate a swift and efficient release of stored toxins.
Combined with the nourishing whole foods we recommend during your detox, this herbal detox tea will help you feel great during your cleanse. Many of our cleanse participants love drinking this detox tea so much that they want to keep drinking it long after their intended detox time is over! The natural herbs used in this tea are delicious and deeply nourishing. The tea is prepared with the roots, seeds and leaves of various medicinal herbs using traditional methods.
Selecting and Brewing Herbs
The healing properties of herbs are drawn into the tea water with extended heat. To make a therapeutic strength tea with roots, it is important to simmer for at least 20 minutes. But for the more tender parts of the plant, like the leaves and crushed seeds, boiling can be damaging. In this recipe, you will simmer the roots for 20 minutes, then remove the tea from heat before adding the leaves and seeds to steep for an additional 20 minutes. Starting out with high quality organic whole herbs is essential for making an effective herbal tea. It’s difficult to find high quality bulk herbs locally. So we were thrilled to find Mountain Rose Herbs! They carry an extensive line of high quality organic herbs online. All of the herbs you need for your detox tea (and many more) are available. So visit them online, make your order and welcome the healing power of this herbal detox tea into your cleansing experience. Make a big batch of tea in the morning each day of your detox and drink it throughout the day.
