Both the liver and the kidneys are fundamental organs to maintain our health. The liver, on the one hand, is in charge of detoxifying the body since it fulfills a fundamental function when it comes to filtering all the liquids and food that we ingest throughout the day.
On the other hand, the kidneys are responsible for processing the blood as well as eliminating both waste and excess water. In this way, the basis of detox diets is focused on trying to keep these organs as clean as possible so that they can fulfill their functions in ideal conditions. Herbal teas can be great allies to carry out such work.
Optimal herbal teas to complement the detox diet

- Coriander, fennel and cumin cleansing tisane: Once prepared -using a small spoonful of each herb-, you have to let it rest for ten minutes and drink about three cups a day.
