Question:
Anyone heard of detox tea? Is it useful or harmful to CD people? Thought I'd
give it a shot since I am trying to go the totally organic food route, to see
if it helps my symptoms. The box says it doesn't have caffeine. Any experiences
out there?
Answer:
It would really depend on what herbs they have in it.
So I'd check a good herbal (one that list
side effects and known interactions) before taking it.
Most health food stores have several such books.
And remember most of the herbs haven't been
tested in healthy people, so it might be wise to
keep a diary of what you took and what happens,
so if something doesn't agree with you, you know
what it is.
The use of the word detoxification in some natural healing can be code for a
treatment that cleans out your colon. Look very carefully at the contents of
the tea and look them up in an herbal. You do not want anything that causes
diarrhea. Senna tea, for example, would be a a big no-no.
