Detox teas are based on traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, and other forms of herbalism. They contain ingredients that will help rid your body of “toxins.” Although most over the counter detox teas are considered safe, it’s important to choose wisely when shopping for one. To cleanse your body and speed up metabolism, try our $9 pick from Amazon that tastes great.
How Do Detox Teas Work?
Detox teas contain herbs and spices that stimulate the liver and kidneys. Some have laxative effects that help remove harmful substances out of your body and keeps things “moving” in your bowels. This, in turn, will help speed up your metabolism and help you lose weight. However, drinking a detox tea alone will not do you any good if you are not pairing it up with a carefully researched diet.
Rishi Tea’s Turmeric Ginger Herbal Tea
This Ayurveda inspired blend features turmeric powder, bits of licorice root, ginger root, orange peel, lemongrass, and lemon essential oil for longevity, stamina, and balance. Most of these ingredients are naturally detoxifying. Best of all the combination of ingredients makes the tea palatable—it has a peppery flavor and a surprisingly sweet finish.
Ginger and turmeric are the stars of this blend. Turmeric helps to prevent and manage diabetes while boosting immunity as well as reduce inflammation. Ginger cleanses the body by stimulating digestion, circulation, and sweating. It also helps to cleanse the build-up of waste and toxins in the colon and liver—all great for increased metabolism.
This tea has over 70% 5-star ratings on Amazon and most reviews agree that the tea is delicious as well as helpful. Even people who aren’t fans of spicy foods seem to love this balanced blend.

“This is so yummy!!! It has a natural sweetness to it so I don’t think there is any need for sugar or honey or any sweetener. It has an earthy flavor that I love too and it’s caffeine-free and oh so good for you! It has turmeric in it which can stain things so just be aware but I highly recommend this tea. I find it to be a very calming presence in my afternoon!”—beinformed
