Why It's So Good For You
Detox teas contain herbs and spices that facilitate the liver to release toxins. You can purchase a store-bought tea or make your own from a range of herbs such as ginger, turmeric, dandelion, chicory, fennel, licorice, peppermint, milk thistle and celery leaf.
The coconut oil provides a good source of healthy fat which gives it a creaminess and richness while assisting with toxin removal by acting as a carrier for toxins to bind to.
