Colon Cleansing Tea

Colon Cleansing Tea

Buy it pre-made or make my own?

You can totally make your own!

Most colon cleanse teas on the market contains either senna or cascara sagrada, both of which stimulate the action of the lower intestines and colon.

Senna can cause painful intestinal spasms in some people, so you may want to look for a tea made with cascara sagrada. It supports normal function of the bowel, while stimulating digestive secretions in the liver, gall bladder, pancreas and stomach.

From there you can choose a variety of other herbs to add, based on your own preferences. Here are a few to consider:

Aloe Vera Leaf - also supports normal bowel function, cleanses the blood, and is a liver/gall bladder tonic

Plantain leaf - helps break up mucoid plaque while also soothing to the intestines

Ginger root - relieves gas, bloating and upset stomach

Fennel seeds - relieves instestinal cramping and gas

Fenugreek seed - soothing to the intestines and promotes regularity

Barberry root - is considered a "bitter herb, supports the liver, gallbladder and bowel, and is also beneficial to the spleen (which filters the blood and supports a healthy immune system),

Peppermint leaf - stimulates liver and gall bladder, good for colon cleansing, digestion

Dandelion root - supports liver function, stimulates bile flow, help release toxins and also helps carry them safely out of the body
