Well I’m sure a lot of you are feeling the same way I am right now…. which is in dire need of a detox!!
Easter weekend was filled with lots of chocolate…way too much delicious (unhealthy) food and even the odd alcoholic beverage. Now that Easter weekend has come to an end, this is the perfect time to give your body a break and a chance to recover from all the havoc!
When I am in need of a system reboot, my first step is one of my favourite teas…..Organic Detox from David’s Tea. This tea is made with so many great organic ingredients that are beneficial for the body. Two of the featured ingredients which do much more then just detoxify the body, ginger and juniper berries.
Ginger:
- Aids in gastrointestinal relief- prevents gas and bloating by relaxing the muscles of the gastrointestinal
- Anti-inflammatory- proven to reduce hormones that cause inflammation
- Cancer protector- Inhibits the growth and production of cancer cells in lung, kidney, colorectal, ovarian and pancreatic cancers
- Immune boosting action- promotes healthy sweating, which is very helpful getting rid of colds and flus. A good sweat is a great detoxifier!
- Natural antibiotic- ever wondering why you get ginger with sushi? It kills pathogenic bacteria
Juniper Berries:

e excess water without causing loss of electrolytes as well as potassium - Natural mild diuretic- treats urinary problems such as edema, kidney stones and lower back pain
