| Overview Much of what is considered "normal food" (high-fat, high-carbohydrate, highly processed foods) in North America can overwhelm the digestive system. If the by-products of digestion are not excreted quickly and efficiently, toxic substances build up within the body, causing a slow poisoning of the entire system.
Classic Natural Tea is a more gentle-acting laxative tea (compared to Nature's Tea™), preferred by those who are new to the cleansing process. It contains dandelion root to help your liver detoxify waste in addition to giving your body the natural help it needs to keep things moving so you can absorb the nutrients needed for optimal health.
Essential Ingredients
• Buckthorn Bark -- Buckthorn bark has been used and accepted since the Middle Ages, being listed in both the London Pharmacopoeia (1650), and the US Pharmacopoeia (1820-1882). The Salishan natives of southern Vancouver Island prepared a decoction from the bark to treat digestive tract ailments. Buckthorn nutritionally bolsters the digestive system.
• Peppermint Leaves -- Because of the presence of menthol, peppermint has popularly been used to support digestive processes.
• Chickweed -- Chickweed is rich in specific nutrients which nourish the gastrointestinal system.
• Orange Peel -- When you peel an orange, if you carefully remove the "white stuff" stuck to the fruit, you're denying yourself a convenient source of antioxidant bioflavonoids. Classic Natural Tea also includes orange rind for its mellow taste.
• Rose Hips -- The plant of the family Rosaceae has been used for centuries. The fleshy fruit at the base of the rose bloom has a nutrient value which acts synergistically with bioflavonoids to improve their activity within the body (scavenging free radicals).
