The best detox and cleansing teas are without a doubt herbal teas or tisane teas. The health benefits of such teas are known widely and it is easy to purchase them almost anywhere. There is a very diverse range and they suit almost any taste, from sweet to bitter. All of them are naturally sweet and lots are caffeine free. They suit all special diets apart from nut allergy sufferers, in some forms of herbal tea.
Some of the best detox and cleansing teas are thought by many to be green tea, which is from China and is taken by anyone who suffers from constipation, rectal build up, cold and flu symptoms and other similar ailments. It is a light and refreshing tasting tea and is usually associated, in its native land of China, with longevity.
One of the health benefits associated with drinking herbal tea in conjunction with a balanced diet are a positive impact on the immune system. This means that the immune system will develop new immunities to intestinal diseases by stimulating the growth of new intestinal micro flora to take the place of old flora that may have become damaged or killed over time.
This is particularly the case with some of the best detox and cleansing teas such as rooibos and green tea. Another is the normalising of blood pressure. Herbal teas are good for those with high or low blood pressure and often help sufferers to recover from any illness caused by the abnormal blood pressure levels. Tea has been linked with the prevention of heart disease because it reduces the blood glucose activity, also helping stop the development of type two diabetes later in life.
Some of the teas have been proven, not only to cleanse the intestinal tract but also to slow down or even stop intestinal pathogenic activity, thus preventing any build up in the colon to harbour any diseases. Teas, even the best detox and cleansing tea are rarely referred to as being a miracle cure for any disease, although it is thought to have anti – carcinogenic properties and slow down the growth of already well established cancer cells, whether benign or malignant.
All in all, there is not much medical evidence to verify the specific healing properties of the best detox and cleansing teas but the results are out there, and with a few more years of research I’m sure the medical profession will be jumping at the idea of using these teas as slow acting solutions to lots of life’s problems.

Herbal teas have been in use for centuries. They have been consumed for their medical properties but also as nutritional supplements and simply for their taste and comfort.
Most of the teas you will find at your supermarket or health food store will have some information regarding what benefit the teas’ ingredients are thought to deliver to the body. Of course, many of these claims are part of the historical record, not necessarily endorsed by the FDA (no company is going to spend its money researching and proving or disproving the health claims of a product they don’t have a monopoly on). That being said, take any exaggerated claims with a grain of salt.
When you are undergoing a detoxification program, your body is ridding itself of built up toxins you’ve accumulated through diet or your environment. While releasing these toxins from where they are stored in the body, you may experience some discomfort as they are working their way through your system. Chamomile tea is an excellent choice for relaxation. It has a mild sedative effect and eases digestion. It is a wonderful choice at night before retiring.
Chamomile is one of the prime ingredients in the popular ’sleepy time’ tea from Celestial Seasonings. It is an excellent choice at night as well.
Green tea contains powerful antioxidants, hundreds of times more powerful than such workhorse antioxidants as vitamins E and C. This kind of antioxidant power is great for a detox program. Any errant oxidants let loose from their resting places can be snapped up by the forces inside green tea. Drink as much of this tea during your detox as you wish. The only caveat is that is does contain caffeine. It’s best to stop drinking green tea in the afternoon as to not interfere with a good night’s sleep.
Teas containing milk thistle and/or dandelion are very beneficial for the health of your liver. This is vitally important as the liver is the prime detoxifying organ in the body. During a detox program it will be operating at a peak rate and any tonic it receives will help it operate more efficiently.
Your next largest detoxifying organs are the kidneys. Nettle tea comes to the rescue here. Nettles have a diuretic property which helps the kidneys rid the body of toxins quickly.
One main reason herbal teas are used during a detox program is to improve the speed at which your detoxifying system operates. This is important because these organs, the liver and the kidneys (and to a lesser extent, the lungs and the skin) are dealing with an increased level of toxicity. Granted, those toxins have been in your body for a while but they have not been processed properly and removed. The faster the toxic material exits the body, especially during this period of heightened activity, the better it is for your health all around.
