My Favorite Detox Tea

In addition to detox baths, I’m kind of obsessed with detox teas! I end every single day with a hot cup of tea, and it’s a ritual I’ve come to look forward to every night as I’m getting my kids ready for bed. I know that delicious warm teacup is waiting to help me unwind from the stresses of the day.  

The benefits of detox tea are far more than just a cozy drink at the end of the day, though. They help to ease stress, clear my skin, prevent sickness, and even cleanse the gut and liver, and shrink a bloated stomach! 

Like everything, not all teas are created equal and they don’t all have the same benefits.

Make sure to choose organic tea! Conventionally grown teas are LOADED with pesticides and chemicals that destroy any of the benefits you may have gotten from the tea, and can cause all kinds of sickness and disease. 

A well made detox tea will include herbs & spices that stimulate the liver and kidneys. Herbs like lemongrass, ginger, dandelion, and milk thistle are all excellent detoxifiers, and are ingredients we should look for in a good detox tea.

My favorite brand is Traditional Medicinals Detox Tea with Lemon. It has a slight spicy flavor, but I mainly taste the lemon. For even more added benefits, sometimes I get really crazy and also add a peppermint tea bag to the cup. The spicy lemon and mint combo is really delicious, and soothes my stomach. Traditional Medicinals also makes make favorite peppermint tea, and you can find it here! Peppermint tea by itself is a detoxifier, so adding to a detox tea is like a double punch to toxins and bad bacteria that could be hanging out in your liver and intestines. 

If you try this tea combo please let me know what you think! I’m drinking mine right now, and it’s exactly what I needed after a pretty stressful week.

Enjoy! Love, Melanie
