In fact, there is no hard evidence backing the claims made by tea companies that their detox teas actually purify human cells. However, high-quality teas can help support the body's natural daily process of detoxification-just as much as other foods and drinks can hurt this system, says Laura Lagano, R.D., a New Jersey-based holistic nutritionist.

Yogi Detox Tea is the top-selling tea in the natural industry, and contains a unique blend of different herbs and plant extracts. This tea claims to assist the body’s natural detoxification process in eliminating waste and promoting healthy, natural weight loss. While ingredients such as ginger root and sasparilla are commonly used in weight loss formulas, research shows that one would need to consume significant amounts of each of these extract to see even modest weight loss.
While the benefits are plentiful, there are some important side-effects that you should keep in mind when drinking these teas. For example, when drinking the Original EveryDay Detox Tea, you should consult your doctor before if you have a history of gallstones or other digestive issues. The EveryDay Detox Tea Lemon can cause allergic reactions in those who are allergic to stinging nettle, dandelion, or burdock root.
