Description + Potential Benefits
Detox is a gentle but incredibly effective herbal formulation for a full-body internal cleanse. Detox is formulated to support our body’s natural detoxification processes, cleansing and nourishing the liver & kidneys, as well as the fluids of the body (blood + other fluids).
Many types of inflammation can be attributed to the build up of toxins and waste in the body; often these substances are not the result of environmental toxins (as we often think about when we think of), but rather simply metabolic waste and other forms of waste that are the result of our body’s natural processes. When these wastes accumulate in the system, our liver & kidneys can have a hard time performing optimally.
Detox Tea, while a superb universal detoxification & cleanse blend, may be particularly beneficial for folks dealing with chronic skin issues such as eczema, or folks dealing with bacterial or fungal infections.
*Please note: Some of the herbs in this tea blend are “diueretic” in nature, meaning they help eliminate excess waste and water in the body through urination.
Notes on Preparation
Standard Prepartion: Simply place your tea bag or loose herbs (approx. 1-2 tsp. for 8-12 oz of water) in your mug and add boiling (or nearly boiling) water. Allow to steep for 5-10 minutes.
Herbal Infusion: Herbal infusions can be consumed both warm or cold. Place either loose herbs or tea bag in a quart or liter of water - typically 1-2 spoonfuls for a quart (16 oz mason jar), 3-4 for a liter (32 oz mason jar). Add boiling (or nearly boiling) water and allow to steep at room temperature for a few hours or overnight (preferred). Tea can be reheated before drinking, or stored in the fridge for a cool beverage. The best way to prefer an herbal infusion is to place herbs & water in a pot, bring to a boil, lower heat to a slow simmer (for approx. 20 minutes), and allow to steep overnight.
Herbal Decoction: For best flavor and extraction of herbal properties, an herbal decoction preparation is most recommended. To make a decoction, place 1-2 tsp. in a small pot with 12 oz of water. Bring to a near boil, and then quickly dropping heat down to a slow simmer. Simmer herbs for 20+ minutes. After simmering, turn of heat and allow herbs to steep for 20+ minutes. Often the sweeter herbs (such as cinnamon, liquorice, goji berries) will shine better if the tea steeps for 20 minutes after simmering.
