Here's why you should drink detox tea
We humans are largely made up of water pollution: The proportion fluctuates depending on age, but it is around 60 percent (plus minus 10 to 20 percent). Normally, the human body works reliably, among other things, to break down unneeded fluids. However, it sometimes happens that this natural regulation does not work optimally, so that unnecessary water accumulates in the body. This manifests itself in the form of swellings, for example in the joints, which in turn can strain the heart and circulation. Drainage tea can help the body get rid of the water retention. Of course, medical causes should be ruled out before a cure.
Detox tea has several benefits. In particular, it stimulates the urge to urinate. The body is thus properly flushed, which in turn ensures that it detoxifies. Of course, this is not only due to the increased fluid intake - perfectly, around XNUMX to XNUMX liters of water per day - but also to the various ingredients and modes of action of the herbs. In addition, detox tea stimulates the metabolism, which speeds up digestion. That is why the tea cure is sometimes used to help with weight loss.
