We are surrounded by pollutants and our modern day diets and lifestyles have made it ever more important to include detoxing in our life.  Our ancestors recognized the need for detoxification and included it in fasting rituals and herbal detoxes. 

Rather than looking back to our roots and learning from our predecessors we have learnt relie on drugs and medications to treat illnesses that have developed from having too many toxins in the blood.  However increased use in drug both prescription and recreational further poisons the body and the natural detoxification systems in the body can’t cope.

Herbal teas are an easy and convenient way to detox and have many healing and supportive properties.  There is an almost endless list of herbal teas that can help to stimulate your natural detox processes.  Used in various combinations they can speed up the detoxing of the system.

Cinnamon bark, black peppercorn and cardamom seed, ginger root and clove bud can be added to green tea to cleanse the blood and the colon.

Green tea, cimicifiga, jasmine flower and honeysuckle are added to chinese teas to aid detoxification.  Any teas with milk thistle, dandelion root, Echinacea, red clover or sarsparilla root are also great choices.
