Homemade Detox Tea: Eliminate Toxins and Improve Health

Each of us has toxins hidden in our bodies, and if these toxins cannot be eliminated, they can cause various diseases. Below, I will teach you how to make a homemade detox tea to help eliminate toxins from your body.
 

　　I. Recipe for Detox Tea

　　[Ingredients]

　　20g of dandelion, 15g of fish mint, 10g of honeysuckle vine, 5g of dwarf tea, 3g of plantain, 3g of bamboo leaves, 5g of licorice, 7 seeds of arhat fruit (with shell).

　　[Preparation Method]

　　Wash the ingredients quickly to remove any dirt or sand. Add 1000g of water or more, bring to a boil over high heat, and simmer on the lowest heat for 30 minutes. When herbal medicine is dried and stored, it tends to develop a musty smell. But after simmering for more than 30 minutes, the musty smell turns into a fragrant aroma, and the medicinal properties are released.

　　It has been tested that a stainless steel pot can be used for simmering. With an induction cooker, you can adjust the heat to the lowest setting and even set a timer, which is very convenient. After simmering for 30 minutes, the water level does not decrease.

　　If the simmering time is too short, such as less than 10 minutes, the musty smell is not removed, and not only does it not treat the illness, but it can also be harmful if consumed.

　　I found that 7 seeds of arhat fruit work well for simmering, but you can adjust the amount according to your specific situation. The brewed tea should be moderately sweet and tasty. Do not put too many arhat fruit seeds, as it will make the tea excessively sweet and affect your appetite.

　　[Usage and Dosage]

　　Drink this tea. It works best when consumed on an empty stomach. Drink a cup before bedtime and another cup upon waking up. Drink another cup at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. These are the recommended times.

　　The duration of drinking this tea depends on your own judgment. You can drink it when you have a cold. If you feel your body is overheated, you can drink it. When I have a bitter taste in my mouth or feel liver distention, I brew and drink it for two or three days.
 

　　II. Analysis of the Effects of Detox Tea

　　Detox tea has the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, protecting the liver, diuresis, and reducing tumors. If there are multiple symptoms, it can also be used in combination with other Chinese herbal medicine for treatment.

　　III. Precautions

　　In summer, store it in the refrigerator after it has cooled down. It is best to drink it within 24 hours. If you notice any change in taste or if it has gone bad, do not drink it.

　　This tea does not need to be consumed every day throughout the year. It is used for detoxification, and there is no need to detoxify every day.

　　The biggest contribution of detox tea is that the brewed medicine is sweet and tasty, and even children can drink it. The most important thing is that by using the combination of the above ingredients, the medicinal properties of various individual herbs are concentrated and work together.
