Detox tea - on the cheap

Posted in: Health

I’ve always had an interest in herbs and their healing and detoxifying properties. Recently I purchased a box of Dr. Stuart’s Detox tea for $3.99 for 20 tea bags. I have to tell you, I felt great after drinking it - and of course as most detox teas do, it had a diuretic effect causing some instant “slimming”. But considering how absolutely little tea was included in those little tea bags, I couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that I could make it myself for a fraction of the price.

So after reviewing the percentages of the herbs listed on the box, I set out to find a way to recreate this tea myself. The four main detoxifying herbs in this tea are dandelion, burdock, spearmint, and peppermint. I have spearmint growing in my herb garden currently, so that was an easy find - the others I had to shop a little bit online but found The Herb Corner (www.theherbcorner.com) — then I found out that The Herb Corner also offers their herbs through ebay. So, for $8.38 (including the $5 shipping) I purchased 1 ounce each of burdock, dandelion, and peppermint. Plus, when the package arrived, I found that the wonderful sellers at The Herb Corner had tossed in an extra ounce of peppermint for free!

So after mixing all of the herbs together, I now have 4 ounces of loose tea (which is yummy and appears to be just as effective) for around 1/2 the price of the Dr. Stuart’s detox tea.
