How to Detoxify with Tea

Tea drinking dates back as far as 5,000 years ago in China and India. It has long been considered an aid to good health. Detoxifying teas on the market are aimed at cleansing toxins that may be stored in fat cells, which may affect weight loss. While studies have been inconclusive in humans, detoxifying teas have many believers. A popular detox tea made popular by celebrities such as Beyonce Knowles is the lemon detox tea. The lemon detox tea is meant to cleanse the body of toxins stored in fat cells. It is also popular as a weight-loss aid.

Instructions

Lemon Detox Tea

1

Combine lemon juice, organic grade B maple syrup or Madal Bal natural tree syrup and cayenne pepper, and add to filtered water. Prepare as either hot or cold tea.

2

Drink six to nine glasses per day. For a full cleansing, it is recommended not to eat during your cleansing time. However, if fasting for a number of days is not a preference, there are options. Have a few glasses of tea for breakfast and dinner and have a healthy lunch, avoiding fried foods, red meat and processed foods. These foods are where many of the toxins come from and will slow the detox progress.

3

Continue the tea-drinking regimen for 10 days. After the 10 days, start eating regular food again, but introduce it slowly. Watch what you eat, and try to avoid foods that will put toxins back in your body.
