Cleansing Tea For Daily Herbal Detox
Information Guide

Learning about herbs is one of the most empowering things you can do.

As your body starts to cleanse, you will feel better. Little by little, your skin will clear, fatigue will lift, and you will feel smarter, more alert, energetic and alive.

A cleansing tea will help one or more of your organs detoxify. The key is to know which organs are in need of detox and then select the herbs that cleanse that organ. Here is a 3-step process to follow:

You will find that NO cleansing tea contains ALL of the herbs that detoxify any organ. The main reason is that a combination of every herb that cleanses a particular  organ would create chaos in your body, allowing too many toxins to be released at once. Another reason is that herbalists use additional herbs to balance a formula.

You may find that a cleansing tea contains three herbs from two categories. That is perfectly fine if you wish to detoxify those two organs simultaneously.

However, if you have never used any cleansing tea, it is advisable to select a tea that detoxifies only one organ. In this case, you are specifically looking for a tea with three herbs that cleanse your targeted organ and a few additional herbs that are in other categories.

An herb listed in a category has detoxification properties, but when that herb is added to other herbs with similar functions, the combination maximizes the cleansing of that organ.

For example, just drinking dandelion root tea by itself would help cleanse the liver. But drinking a cup of tea containing dandelion, milk thistle, chanca pedra, slippery elm and citrus aurantium would be superior.

The combination of herbs with similar functions potentiates the cleansing tea, making it more powerful than any one herb by itself. The advantage to using one herb by itself, though, is that it is more gentle on the body, especially if you have just started a detox program.
