Detox Tea Recipes

These are good, I found them here:

There are a nice variety, and I think I can find most of the ingredient in my grocery store (does anyone know what Burdock root is?!)

Sipping on some detox tea is a great way to gently help flush your system of harmful toxins. If an item is supposed to help in detox, it is made to help detoxify your body for better general health. Detox teas take a gentle and slow approach to this process, as opposed to the harsh detox pills and powders available. They use herbs and spices that act as natural antioxidants and body cleansers to flush your digestive tract.

  2. Burdock Root is fantastic - You can get it in most asian stores. I try to get mine from the local organic market.

    It is not available all times of the year locally, but have purchased the dried kind when I am desperate.

    I have pictures and a link on my site at - www.fighting-hae-fibro.blogspot.com

  3. Great blog ! I also like your Food as Medicine Blog, yum! I was just in Whole Foods this past weekend and surprisingly enough saw some Burdock tea. I bought Fenugreek Tea (is supposed to be good for pain?) and Rooibos Tea.
