Spring cleaning is a time to feel refreshed - commonly through a cleaning list over the space of a few weeks. It's the perfect time to declutter your home, but have you ever considered decluttering your body? Spring cleaning your body is a great way to boost your health and wellbeing.

Detoxing and cleansing can help to get rid of any harmful compounds and toxins in your body. If you choose reputable brands that use trusted ingredients, you can get many benefits including:

• Reduced Abdominal Pain (Menstrual Cramps)
• Alleviates Indigestion and IBS
• Cell Protection
• Liver Detoxification

There are many types of teas that can be good for detoxing the body. Some examples include:

• Green Tea: Green tea is high in antioxidants and contains catechins, which can help to reduce inflammation and support liver function.
• Ginger Tea: A natural anti-inflammatory and can help to support healthy digestion and elimination of waste and toxins from the body. 
• Turmeric Tea: A powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant and can help to support healthy liver function. 
• Peppermint Tea: Known for its ability to soothe digestive issues and can help to support healthy digestion and elimination of waste and toxins from the body. 
• Rooibos Tea: High in antioxidants and can help to reduce inflammation and support healthy liver function.

Using Cleanse type teas, which incorporate herbs like Senna, can help with elimination of indigestion. It is important though, that if you take any tea that promotes weight loss - to understand that Senna is not supposed to be used indefinitely. Herbal teas for cleansing and detox, if purchased form a reputable vendor (NEVER EVER buy from Instagram or Facebook marketing companies) and dosed properly can help kick start the digestive system along with a diet rich in fiber, whole grains and unprocessed foods.

It's important to approach detox teas with caution and to consult a healthcare professional before using them, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking any medications.
