Detox Teas That Cleanse the Liver Naturally
Introduction
Your liver is one of the body’s hardest-working organs — filtering toxins, breaking down fats, and supporting healthy digestion. Over time, poor diet, stress, alcohol, and environmental toxins can overload the liver. That’s why many people turn to herbal detox teas as a natural way to restore balance.
Herbs like dandelion root, milk thistle, and burdock root have been used for centuries in traditional medicine to cleanse, protect, and rejuvenate the liver. Let’s explore how these teas work and how you can include them in your wellness routine.
