Detox Tea Ingredients
Herbs and plants that support your body naturally
The power of detox tea comes from its ingredients — herbs, roots, and leaves used for centuries to support digestion, cleansing, and overall wellness. While each blend is different, some ingredients show up again and again for good reason.
Green tea is one of the most common bases. It contains antioxidants and a small amount of caffeine, which may help boost metabolism and energy without overstimulating the body.
Dandelion root is often included for its natural diuretic properties. It helps the body get rid of excess water and supports liver function, making it a key ingredient in many cleansing blends.
Ginger is another favorite. It’s known for aiding digestion, calming the stomach, and reducing inflammation. Many people find it helps with bloating and discomfort after meals.
Peppermint is used to soothe the digestive tract and ease gas or cramps. It adds a fresh flavor and works well in evening detox blends.
Fennel seeds are sometimes added to improve digestion and reduce bloating. They have a mild licorice-like flavor and are gentle on the stomach.
Other ingredients you might find include:
- Lemon peel – for digestion and a light citrus flavor
- Licorice root – supports gut health and adds natural sweetness
- Milk thistle – often used to support liver detox
- Chamomile – calming and good for bedtime teas
Each ingredient plays a specific role, and together they create a balanced tea that supports the body in a natural, gentle way. Always check the label to know what you’re drinking, especially if you’re sensitive to caffeine or herbal stimulants.
