Herbals Teas for Detoxifying

Dandelion, Licorice & Ginger Tea

This tea can help after a night of binge drinking. The bitter dandelion root will rejuvenate the liver while the sweet-tasting licorice acts as an adaptogen for the adrenals, cleansing & nourishing the system. Ginger will help to unsettle that feeling in the stomach.

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground licorice root
  • 1/2 teaspoon peeled & grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cups (500ml) boiling water
Combine the dandelion, licorice & ginger together in a warmed ceramic/glass teapot.
Add the boiling water, cover & let it steep for 10 mins.
Pour through a strainer into a warmed cup & drink.
Drink 1-2 cups a day for a week to help the body regain strength.


Nettle & Clivers Tea

This tea is nourishing & cleansing for the lymphatic system.

  • 2-3 tablespoons dried nettle herb
  • 2-3 tablespoons dried clivers
  • 2 cups (500ml) boiling water
Combine the nettle & clivers together in a warmed ceramic/glass teapot. Add the boiling water, cover & let it steep for 10-15 mins.
