PURIFYING HERBAL TEAS

Herbs and in particular herbal teas can give us a great hand especially after the holidays or after accumulated toxins and fats in our body, we can indeed prepare great purifying herbal teas easily at home.

The so-called detox herbal teas are a very effective natural remedy that help to eliminate from our body waste accumulated over time and strengthen the immune system to help prevent different pathologies. Detox or purification literally means “to remove the waste from the body, free it from impurities” due especially to stress, pollution, certain drugs/medicines, cigarette smoke, spirits, and especially a bad food supply. Even when our skin is dull, we have difficulty in digesting, we feel swollen, tired and heavy, means that we are accumulating too many toxins and hence it is time to get rid of it.

There are several medicinal plants with a depurative effect but you need to choose the right herbs and the most suitable moments when to absorb them to purify correctly your organism. To prepare a good herbal tea usually we use one or two teaspoons of the ingredient selected, for each cup of hot water, while the infusion time will vary depending on the ingredient.
