Tea can Be Alternative Medicine Only When Consumed Sensibly

TES AS MEDICINE:

Tea's healing abilities have been known to mankind forever now, so why adulterate it with so canned 'detox' ingredients? Most teatoxing kits combine tea leaves with all-natural ingredients like senna leaf, ginseng root, liquorice root, chrysanthemum, nettle leaves, psyllium seeds, cinnamon bark, cloves, rhubarb, ginger, and lemongrass. While most of these ingredients are natural, their overuse may disrupt the body's natural rhythm.

       while the world goes berserk over green tea, black tea(the chinese variety, not the English), oolong, and a tea called pu'er are also potent medicines. In fact, all herbs are medicine, whether they're in the form of 'tea', infusion, tincture, or capsule. One just needs to be careful since some herbs and flowers in teas can trigger allergies. Always read the ingredients on the package before you consume a new herbal tea. Also, tea can only be medicinal and detoxifying if your diet isn't taxing your system, which most modern meals are guilty of."A detox tea prepared with certain herbs and spices like ginger, lime, mint leaves does help in clearing out toxins but only when combined with clean eating. Following are few teas to sip on, " says holistic nutritionist Hetal Chheda.
