Ayurvedic Detox Tea Arnold Kuntz Ph D

People have been trying to rid their bodies of what they believe are toxins for thousands of years. Some historic "detox" practices include bloodletting, enemas, and sweat lodges, fasting, and drinking detoxification teas. These practices were even used as medical treatments up until the early 20th century. Today, drinking detox teas has become a popular practice for people who wish to clear their body of toxins. You may have even seen celebrities drinking them, such as the "Master Cleanse" diet. Like all dietary supplements, the ingredients in detox teas aren't regulated by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). And recently, some teas and other "detoxifying" weight loss products have been found to contain dangerous drugs and chemicals not advertised on the packaging. So, while some detox teas may contain normal tea ingredients like tea leaves, others could contain toxic or allergy-triggering substances, including drugs and medications. Be sure to speak with your doctor before attempting to use any detox product.
