The herbs in this blend were used traditionally in China to help promote cleansing and digestion. Senna and malva verticillata are herbal stimulant laxatives that were used to promote bowel movements and cleansing. Persimmon and papaya were used to support healthy stomach function and digestion. Tangerine peel was used to help ease feelings of fullness and bloating, and was said to move stagnant “chi”. Loquat leaf was said to cool and harmonize the stomach. Remember when dieting to follow a balanced weight loss diet and the advice of your health care professional. Be sure to eat plenty of fresh vegetables, fruits, juices and pure water. For additional support in cleansing, use this tea along with Triple Leaf Detox Tea.
