Blending powerful herbs known for their anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties, this homemade tea helps your body flush out excess fluid while promoting overall wellness.
Ingredients:
For one pot (4 cups) of herbal tea:
1 tsp dried dandelion root (natural diuretic)
1 tsp dried parsley (promotes kidney function)
1 tsp dried hibiscus petals (anti-inflammatory and rich in antioxidants)
½ tsp dried ginger (boosts circulation)
