A Fresh Start: Herbal Teas for the New Year
After the holidays, we often want to cleanse our bodies of all the holiday treats we have consumed. Sipping any of the below herbal (caffeine free) blends will help detoxify the body, increase antioxidant intake, and rejuvenate ourselves naturally and gently.
Dandelion Tea
The humble dandelion plant can be found all around the world. The sight of these determined little plants can give some angst, but they offer so many benefits that we hope you will view them more positively. Our Dandelion Vitality Blend is made from leaves and roots which offer the most benefits.
- Dandelion makes an immensely powerful herbal tonic rich in antioxidants like beta-carotene, polyphenols and flavonoids that help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation.
- Dandelion tea has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to support and protect liver function by increasing bile flow. Bile helps the liver eliminate toxins naturally.
- Dandelion tea can also aid digestion, relieve bloating, and improve overall gut health.
- Dandelion tea offers natural diuretic effects which help the body eliminate excess fluid and sodium.
- Finally, dandelion is a good source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like folate, calcium and potassium to help bolster wellness.
- People with kidney disease should avoid drinking dandelion tea as it may place extra stress on the kidneys.
Holy Basil
Holy basil also known as Tulsi is considered a sacred plant in India and been used in Ayurveda medicine for thousands of years. It is a powerful adaptogen that helps our body adapt to stress and anxiety. We blend holy basil with ginger, another mighty adaptogen for our Holy Ginger blend which is one of our best-selling herbal blends.
