Dr Stuart's Liver Detox Herbal Tea Bags 15ea

Product Information

In my hand is a steaming mug of Dr Stuart’s “Liver Detox” naturally caffeine-free tea, containing dandelion root, centaury herb and milk thistle. The tea promises to “get it out your system” without saying exactly what “it” might be. Before applying the mask I drank a glass of lemonade the colour of an outflow from a flooded coal mine. It is produced by Press London, is 0.05% “activated charcoal” and has the word “detox” on the label.

Just last week, Consumer NZ pulled diet and ‘detox’ teas from shelves. Antoinette Spicer from Consumer NZ said the products contained “Senna leaf, a natural laxative that can have nasty side effects and lead to liver damage if taken for too long.”

The liver is responsible for performing a variety of critical functions, such as eliminating toxins and harmful chemicals from the body. If you are looking to keep your liver functioning efficiently each day, feed it with a dynamic variety of liver-boosting herbs from Dr. Stuart's Liver Detox! It’s important to watch out for certain ingredients may not be so nice on the body—and there’s a good chance that teas in the second category of detox teas (i.e. skinny teas) rely on a combination of these. Senna, an herbal laxative, is one of the most prevalent ingredients in weight-loss and anti-constipation teas. Although senna is mostly safe when used occasionally, when used regularly, it can cause stomach upset, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and electrolyte loss. Although senna teas may allow their drinker to feel a bit lighter, it’s mostly for reasons of water-weight loss rather than a reduction in body fat. Dr. Stuart's Liver Detox calms your senses and relaxes your mind with its wholesome aroma and delightful taste, all made possible by this special combination of herbs:Body-neutrality activist and founder of I-weigh, Jameela Jamil, is a vocal opponent of detox teas. “Diet and detox products are more than just products that exploit the insecurities of vulnerable teenage consumers, they can lead to long-term health side effects,” says Jamil. The odd face mask or drink of tea isn’t going to do you any harm, but there can be a darker side to it if you go for a whole regime and choose the wrong one. This month a paper in the British Medical Journal reported the recent case of a 47-year-old woman admitted to hospital, suffering from seizures brought on by low sodium levels in her blood. She had been undergoing a “herbal medication” detox, alongside drinking vast amounts of water, green tea and sage. She recovered entirely once her sodium levels were returned to normal, but otherwise might indeed have been “cleansed”, if only from the face of the earth. The paper reported another case of a man who experienced fits after undertaking a similar regime. Today’s brew is Dr. Stuart’s Liver Detox: Get It Out of Your System. (Not sure what “it” is, but I certainly don’t want it in my system!) With it’s combination of peppermint, dandelion root, licorice root, chamomile, centaury herb, bolda leaves, couchgrass root, restharrow root, and milk thistle, this tisane certainly sounds like a potent infusion. The United States FDA often classifies ‘detox’ teas as supplements, meaning they aren’t tested the same way medication would be. This makes it hard for consumers to understand the full extent of harmful effects these diet products can have. The first category of detox tea, to which Dr. Stuart’s Liver Detox belongs, relies on herbs like lemongrass, ginger, dandelion, and milk thistle to support a healthy liver. Rich in antioxidants, they reduce free radicals and oxidative stress on the body. When combined with an already healthy diet and exercise routine, they can offer some good, according to Laura Lagano, R.D. As Lagano explains, they can support the body’s natural detoxification processes as much as any other food or drink can hinder it (i.e. they support the organs that detoxify the body—the teas do not do the detoxing themselves). This is not to say that these detox teas are miracle products, of course. Manuel Villacorta, R.D. reminds us that “no one food, herb, or remedy has the ability to cure ailments or disease.” Rather, herbal detox blends can be used to supplement a diet rich in whole foods.

Liquorice root, a common ingredient in diet teas, has also shown to interfere with birth control medications and cause inflammation in the gut, says Dr Sarah Baird, Otago University toxicology lecturer. Dr. Stuart's Liver Detox features a blend of premium quality, medicinal grade herbs that work together in keeping your liver healthy every day. The liver performs a key role in digesting food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating toxins – we simply cannot live without this important organ. How does Dr. Stuart's Liver Detox work?In the past few years, detox teas have taken the wellness industry by storm. Sales of ‘detox’ and ‘skinny’ teas have grown rapidly and they’ve since gone onto to take the form of powders, shakes, and even lollipops.
