More pre­cise­ly, from its root. This rem­e­dy per­fect­ly helps to remove tox­ins from the body, pro­mot­ing uri­na­tion. Dan­de­lion root tea cleans­es the liv­er and kid­neys, say nutri­tion­ists and doc­tors.

You can buy it both at farm­ers’ mar­kets and at the phar­ma­cy.

2. Rooibos with lemongrass

Red rooi­bos is a tea made from the fer­ment­ed leaves of a South African shrub. It is known for its pow­er­ful antiox­i­dant prop­er­ties, which is why it is the main assis­tant dur­ing detox.

In some ver­sions, this tea is also mixed with anoth­er weight loss wiz­ard — lemon­grass. Lemon­grass is a stem plant, with­out which it is impos­si­ble to imag­ine South Asian cui­sine. This herb removes free rad­i­cals from the body and also pro­motes uri­na­tion.

The com­bi­na­tion of rooi­bos and lemon­grass allows you not only to lose weight, but also cleanse the liv­er, kid­neys, blad­der and pan­creas.

But be care­ful! Diuret­ic plants are con­traindi­cat­ed in peo­ple who have dis­eases of the kid­neys and blad­der. Be atten­tive to your health!
