yogi teas / peach detox / liver-kidney help

[Guest guest]

all this wonderful talk of cleansing the liver! i am another who

knows it would be really good for me (i also went through the PARTY

HARDY phase of life, and it hasn't been that long yet since i've

cleaned up my act!!) i like the tea idea, and wanted to highlight

this one:

Yogi Tea - Healing Formula - Peach DeTox

(Certified Ogranic by QAI Inc.)

this DELICIOUS concotion was recommended by a neighbor of mine, who

is very much into holistic healing. we talk veggie juice recipes in

the driveway she has been very ill in the last few years, and

does regular coffee enemas for her liver.

her health care practitioner told her about this tea, and when she

drinks it, it sometimes makes her feel so much better she can skip an

enema for the day!

it is designed for kidney and liver support, " assisiting the processs

by which these organs filter, counteract & eliminate toxins " .

quite a list of ingredients (about half organic), but here goes:

cinnamon bark

ginger root

cardamom seed

licorice root

orange peel

clove bud

parsley leaf

bilberry leaf

cornsilk stem

Fo-Ti root (chinese medicinal - " building herb " )

dandelion root

black pepper

long pepper berry

chinese amur cork tree bark

japanese honeysuckle flower

forsythia fruit

gardenia flower

skullcap root

black cohosh root

chinese goldenthread root

rhubarb root

wax gourd

asian psyllium seed

natural peach flavor, date powder, natural cinnamon oil, cardamom oil

& ginger oil.

i drank some last night, no bad effects for me, even though there is

date powder in it. it is very tasty and soothing with the cinnamon,

ginger & cardamom essence (three of my favoite tea flavors). it just

feels good!

any thoughts? any experience?

i'm thinking of making dandelion/burdock tea and adding some of this

for a really flavorful & beneficial combo.
