We are well aware that there are no natural miracle cures, but infusions and decoctions based on medicinal herbs, flowers and dried fruits can help to support the body's natural functions and get rid of excess toxins, in this particular case, since the topic of our post today will be ‘which herbs have a detox effect’.

To begin with, let's try to better understand what is meant by a detox effect; our body normally produces ‘waste’ to which are added potentially harmful substances that our body absorbs from outside, through food, the environment or that it accumulates as a result of an unhealthy lifestyle.
Working on the right diet and bad daily habits is essential and in this case infusions, herbal teas and decoctions can be a useful and pleasant support. But which ones should we choose? Let us look at them together.

Among the herbs that can be used in infusions to help and support the wellbeing of our digestive system, liver and kidneys are: artichoke, milk thistle, burdock, boldo and nettle.

Artichoke, thanks to the depurative, diuretic and stimulating properties attributed to it, is a useful support for the regular activity of our liver.

Milk thistle
Like artichoke, milk thistle would appear to help stimulate liver metabolism and bile production, facilitating the activity and well-being of our digestive system.

Burdock
Burdock is attributed soothing, depurative and diuretic properties that make it suitable for preparing infusions and decoctions with a detox effect.

Boldo

Boldo is attributed hepatoprotective properties, like the above it supports regular liver function by stimulating bile production.

Nettle

It is certainly not a friendly plant but it is rich in properties, useful for promoting diuresis and the elimination of toxins from the body.

The short list mentioned is obviously not exhaustive, but you can find a wide selection of infusions in the wellness section.
