Dr Stuart’s Detox Tea

Although all living systems, including us humans, are detoxifying all the time – (indeed if we didn’t we wouldn’t survive for very long), the term “detox” has become part of common parlance in recent years as a way to describe any mode of action (exercise etc) or system (diet, food, tea) which helps us get to as close as we can to a “normal healthy condition”….and usually one which is desired by the user.
Because many of us live “abnormal” lives with poor sleep, rushed processed food, unhealthy unbalanced diets, stressful work and travel conditions, we can find imbalance in bowel action, poor skin condition, headaches, sleeplessness, weight problems, and other signs of “abnormality”.
We’re all advised to eat “5 a day” which emphasises the value of plant material, but we have forgotten that in Roman times and later it was common to have up to 30 plants and flowers at the dining table – each of which no doubt was providing little bits of phyto-nutrient to help the body parts work smoothly.
Our Detox is a clever tasty blend of valuable herbs which provides numerous micronutrients, including those promoting diuresis and supporting the kidneys, while others (like Artichoke and Milk Thistle) can help the liver break down waste.
The use of essential oil containing aromatics (Ginger, Galangale, Peppermint) provides flavour and can soothe the bowel during changes to the diet.
