Detox Teas

"Drinking detox teas are supposed to help increase general health and the sense of well being by helping to remove toxins from your body."

My mother introduced me to "detox teas". Did I believe they would help....no not at all! Just another marketing fad. However, I do believe that part of the cause of eczema is from the body's lack of ability to effectively and efficiently remove toxins. Have always toyed with the idea of "colon cleansing" but truthfully it's an expense that seems un-natural to do.

Anyway personally have found "detox teas" appear to have a calming effect. Perhaps this might be psychosomatic but if it helps - why not. So now I have a stash of detox teas in my cupboard that are drunk when am feeling tired itchy/menstrual itchy.

Though have noted on the box that if you are pregnant - you shouldn't drink some of the herbs in the detox bag's concoction.
