Benefits of detox teas?
Many users incorporate detox teas into their routine to achieve improved digestion, reduced bloating, and a boost in daily energy levels. Additionally, because they support the body's filtration systems, they are often used to help clear the skin and reduce water retention.
How to brew or make detox teas?
To maximize the potency of the herbs, steep the tea in hot water (just below boiling) for 5 to 10 minutes. It is highly recommended to keep the cup covered while steeping to prevent the beneficial essential oils from escaping with the steam.
