Yogi DeTox Tea is an herbal tea supplement used to cleanse the body of impurities. According to its website, this tea promotes the proper functioning of your digestive tract and excretory system, which is responsible for filtering toxins from your body. Although the box states that it is 100 percent natural and caffeine free, it may not be safe for everyone. Consult your doctor before trying Yogi DeTox Tea.
Kidneys
Yogi DeTox Tea contains juniper berry, a medicinal herb thought to promote kidney and urinary tract functions. Its essential oil can be used as a diuretic since it stimulates your kidneys. However, excessive use of juniper berry can irritate your kidneys to the point of inflammation. If you have a diagnosable kidney problem, taking even small amounts of juniper can result in negative side effects, according to Herbs2000.com.
Liver
The inclusion of organic dandelion as an ingredient in Yogi DeTox Tea is prominently listed on the front of the box. Organic dandelion is used to support your liver functions. Specifically, dandelion root may aid your liver in producing the optimal amount of bile your body needs. It may also aid your liver in ridding itself of toxins since it has diuretic properties and contains iron. According to Nutritional Supplements Center, dandelion is so widely used in Europe that it is regarded as a liver tonic.
Blood Flow
The basis of all Yogi Teas is a combination of ginger, black pepper and long pepper. This blend , called "trikatu" is thought to increase blood flow. Ginger, a natural spice, aids in digestion as well as circulation and can be used to treat nausea. Black pepper is a diuretic and an anti-oxidant and can help alleviate gas. Long pepper helps to cleanse your blood and promote digestion. Although it is related to black pepper, long pepper has rejuvenating qualities whereas black pepper does not, according to the Yogi website.
Immune System
Detoxifying your body is important for your overall health and functioning. It is particularly important to rid your body of harmful toxins that can lead to the development of bacteria or viruses in your body which cause illness. By detoxifying your body, your immune system has less foreign material to fight off. Therefore, it can prevent depletion of your immune system. Detoxification is also believed to result in higher levels of energy. However, detoxification through herbal teas has not been scientifically proven or evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Varieties
One of the benefits of Yogi DeTox Tea is that in comes in flavors. In addition to the original DeTox Tea, there is also Peach DeTox Tea and Berry DeTox Tea. These teas contain some of the same ingredients as well as natural flavor. However, Peach DeTox Tea is advertised to promote kidney functions whereas Berry DeTox Tea is advertised to promote liver and intestinal functions. Yogi also produces a tea called Skin DeTox that is purportedly effective in purifying the skin via the internal cleansing of your body, specifically your blood.
