For example, the right detox tea blend can positively impact your gut health, relieve constipation, and reduce bloating while the quality immunity tea blend can strengthen your immune system so your body can fight off illnesses and infections.

In this article, we’re going to take a deep dive into both detox and immunity teas to give you a better understanding of each. By the time you finish reading, you’ll have enough information to start healing your body the natural way and become healthier from the inside out.

DETOX TEA: Digestive, Gut Health Issues, Constipation, and Anti-Bloating
There are tons of factors that impact your Gastrointestinal (GI) tract. GI issues sometimes have causes that you can easily pinpoint, for example eating dairy or not eating enough fiber. But, sometimes, GI issues can be caused by stress, traveling, or changes in your daily routine.

Hope isn’t lost, though! The first step to remedying most health issues is to shift the way you’re looking at your ailment. Is this something that’s just happening to you? Or is there a root cause that you can deal with? Once you decide to hunt for the root cause and find a cure, you can get to work.

Detox Tea vs. Other Supplements
There are many supplements out there that claim to decrease bloating, help get things moving down there, and balance your gut biome – but how well do they really work?

Apple cider vinegar. Apple cider vinegar is antimicrobial and acidic. People with low stomach acid or too many bacteria in their stomachs typically have problems digesting their food. Apple cider vinegar can aid digestion and kill bad bacteria that cause gas, which can help to decrease bloating. However, it can slow the rate food and liquids move from your stomach to your intestines.

Drinking water. It’s always good to drink more water. However, it might not be enough for people with serious or chronic GI issues

Detox tea. Detox tea is made with a variety of natural herbs that are intentionally used because of their benefits for the GI tract. For example, Ginger Root is known to reduce nausea and vomiting; Fennel Seeds can relieve bloating, and Senna Leaf is a natural laxative. A Detox tea with all three herbals can tackle all of your symptoms at once!

There are many different Detox teas available, and some work better than others. Keep an eye out for the following herbals – these offer the greatest detox benefits!

Important: Detox tea is not meant to be a daily supplement. For best results, only drink Detox tea as you need to feel the benefits to rid of the indigestion and/or bloating issues!

Your immune system can become weakened by things like stressful situations, extreme changes in elevation, and drops in temperature. When your immune system is vulnerable, you can start to feel sick at any time, without any warning.

If you’re ready to take control of your health, it’s time to stop covering up your symptoms with over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription medication and start healing the root cause – your immune system.

Herbals that Improve Immune Health Naturally vs. Other Supplements

There are tons of over-the-counter medications that are packed with drugs that aren’t really that good for you. Sure, they might relieve your symptoms – but are they healing you? No! They’re just making your symptoms easier to deal with.

OTC medications. Analgesics are good for reducing fevers and pain; antihistamines dry out the nose to make it less stuffy, and pseudoephedrine is an effective decongestant. However, these medications can make you feel drowsy or delirious, can lead to addiction, and can be fatal if taken in excess.
Water. It’s an excellent idea to drink more water, even if you’re feeling well. Water hydrates all of your body’s systems and helps them function optimally.
Immunity tea. Immunity tea is made with a variety of dried herbs that are intentionally used because of their benefits to the immune system. For example, Lemongrass helps reduce fever, ease stomachache, and improve respiratory disorders; Ashwagandha helps improve body’s defense and reduce stress and anxiety, and Echinacea stimulates the immune system and helps the body fight infections.
