Complete Detoxification and Colon Cleansing Tea Recipes

There is no universal intestinal cleansing tea on the market that can adapt to all body types and "drink it and you'll eliminate it". Currently, the safe intestinal cleansing tea formulas that have been verified by clinical Chinese medicine and nutrition circles all follow the principle of "mildly promoting peristalsis and not damaging the intestinal mucosa" and can be divided into different types according to different physical types. There are a total of 8 commonly used and effective formulas in three categories: general purpose, constipation conditioning, and cold-adapted. All formulas containing strong laxatives such as rhubarb and senna can only be used for occasional emergencies. Long-term consumption will 100% increase the risk of colonic melanosis, so do not drink it for a long time.

I'm not talking nonsense. My cousin who works in operations just got into trouble a while ago. She sat for a long time and worked overtime every three or four days and had a bowel movement every three or four days. She thought it would be troublesome to go to the hospital and bought a popular bowel cleansing tea. After drinking it, she had diarrhea and couldn't pass it for a week. A colonoscopy showed that the intestinal mucosa had been slightly damaged. The doctor said that if she drank it for another six months, she might develop colon melanosis. Later, she came to me to adjust the warm formula. After drinking it for more than half a month, she gradually returned to normal bowel movements.

If you don’t usually have any big problem, but your stomach is bloated after eating heavy oil and salt foods such as hot pot, barbecue, and copper pot shabu-shabu, then the combination of 3g lotus leaves, 2g tangerine peel, and 2 pieces of dried hawthorn is enough. It has a light sour aroma when soaked, and the effect of relieving greasiness is particularly good. Previously, some Chinese medicine friends said that lotus leaves are cold in nature and should not be touched by people with cold body. I don’t think it is necessary to be so absolute. I add 2 pieces of ginger within 3g each time to neutralize the coldness. Even if I drink it in winter, I won’t have stomach upset. I ate hot-boiled pork in winter and just soaked it like this. I didn’t have acid reflux at all the next day.

By the way, if you always feel that your poop is stuck in the toilet and you can't flush it clean after flushing it for several times. When you wake up in the morning, your face is swollen as if you were punched. Then you can try a combination of 5g corn silk, 3g dried winter melon rind, and 2g Poria cocos. It is sugar-free and calorie-free, and you can drink it even during the fat loss period. I usually save corn silk when I eat fresh corn and dry it in the sun. I don’t need to buy expensive ones. I soak it to bring out the sweetness of the grains. I ate salty crayfish or hot pot the day before, and I must soak a cup of it the next day. By noon, my face is almost gone, and my bowel movements are much smoother.

If you have a bowel movement every 2-3 days and it becomes as dry as sheep feces, then just soak 3g of fried cassia seeds. Remember to buy fried ones. Raw cassia seeds are very cold and may cause stomachache if you drink them. Wait until the water temperature drops below 40 degrees and then add a spoonful of honey. Otherwise, the active enzymes in the honey will be scalded to death and it will be wasted. If the constipation is more serious, you can't pass a bowel movement for a week, and your stomach is hard, don't drink senna directly. Try 5g of fried hemp seeds, 2g of polygonatum odorifera, and 1g of crushed almonds. This is moisturizing, not purgative, and it won't cause cramping pain. My grandfather used to be constipated all the year round. After drinking this for less than half a year, he can now pass senna almost every day or two without any side effects. It can be used by both the elderly and children.

Many girls always feel that their constipation is caused by internal heat. After drinking a lot of cold tea, it gets worse and worse, and their hands and feet become colder and colder. This is probably due to cold secretion. Don't drink cold formulas blindly. Try 2g of Angelica sinensis, 5 dried roses, 3 slices of ginger, and 2 pitted red dates. Brew it with the aroma of roses, and drink it to warm your stomach. Not only can it slowly relieve constipation, but it can also make your stomachache less painful when you visit your aunt. My cousin later drank this mixture.

If your stomach is bloated and you burp with a sour smell after eating too much, make a cup of 3g of fried malt, 1g of radish seeds, and 2g of tangerine peel. After drinking it, the flatulence will disappear in about half an hour. If your child has overeating, just reduce the amount by half. It is much gentler than taking Xiaoshi tablets. It’s really uncomfortable if you haven’t had a bowel movement for more than a week. You can also make a cup of 1g of senna leaves and 2 red dates for emergency relief. The effect is very fast, but don’t use it more than 3 times a year. This is the bottom line. Don’t make fun of your intestinal mucosa.

Oh, by the way, some people must say that "detoxification and bowel cleansing are all IQ taxes." This is actually true. There is no concept of "defecation" and "intestinal toxins" in modern medicine. The so-called bowel cleansing is to remove undigested food residues and excess water. If your bowel movements are regular, 1-2 times a day, and the shape is normal, there is no need to drink these teas. Drinking too much will disrupt the original balance of intestinal flora, which is not worth the gain. Some colleagues previously said that bowel cleansing tea is completely useless and is just a placebo. I think it is too absolute. For office workers who usually do not eat enough dietary fiber and sit for more than ten hours every day, drinking a moderate amount of mild tea can indeed help relieve constipation. It is better than taking laxatives indiscriminately, right? Just don't rely too much on it.

There is also a little detail that many people don’t know. Don’t use boiling water to make these intestinal cleansing teas. Warm water around 80 degrees is just right. Otherwise, the volatile active substances in roses and lotus leaves will be scalded and the effect will be greatly reduced. It is best to drink it half an hour after a meal. Drinking it on an empty stomach can easily irritate the stomach. Especially for those who have a weak stomach, don’t make mistakes.

After all, intestinal cleansing tea is just the icing on the cake. Don’t expect it to lose weight or cure stomach problems. If you really want your stomach to be comfortable, eat two more mouthfuls of whole grains such as celery and corn, and take 10 minutes to go downstairs and take two steps every day. It will be more effective than making expensive tea every day.
