The makers of Yogi DeTox claim that it helps the body cleanse itself by boosting the performance of the liver and kidney. They recommend drinking three cups per day for up to 30 days, with a one-week pause between cycles.

You are exposed to pollutants from the air, the water, and even in the food you eat. And we’ve all had moments where we’ve treated our body with less love and care than we should. For all of these reasons and more, a detox can sound alluring. But when it comes to a tea like Yogi DeTox blend, is there really any validity to the claims on their box?

The ingredients in one bag of Yogi DeTox tea are quite extensive. They are reportedly all natural and plant-derived. The product label lists the following, many identified as organic: Indian sarsaparilla root, cinnamon bark, ginger, licorice, burdock, dandelion, cardamom, clove, black pepper, juniper berry, long pepper berry, Philodendron bark, rhubarb, skullcap root, Coptis, Forsythia, gardenia, Japanese honeysuckle, and winter melon. The label doesn’t specify how much of each ingredient is present. But many are commonly found in other detox blends and are known for their reported medicinal properties. Some have been used throughout the ages. Let’s take a closer look at some of them.

Juniper Berries

These have been used around the world and throughout history for things like congestive heart failure, menstrual pain, and to assist in childbirth. Their inclusion in DeTox tea is likely due to the anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. The berries were also historically used to treat urinary tract infections.

Burdock Root

For centuries, burdock has been used therapeutically in parts of Asia, Europe, and North America. A known diuretic, it stimulates digestion and can be used to treat kidney and liver ailments. Research has shown that compounds in the root contain antidiabetic and antioxidant qualities, and it also helps to promote blood circulation on the skin’s surface, which improves skin texture and helps to prevent eczema.

Dandelion

Yes, the common yard weed has a long history as a medicinal plant. A natural diuretic with antioxidant properties, it is most commonly used to treat liver, kidney, and spleen problems. Dandelion is also known to help improve digestion or be used as a laxative, while the dried flower itself can act as an appetite stimulant.

Black Pepper

The “King of Spices,” black pepper has many beneficial properties. According to a review from researchers in India, it improves digestion and has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits.
