This page is dedicated to Detox Tea such as Yogi Detox Tea, Green Tea etc....

The diffusion of tea is universal, but nowhere else in the world this drink has made a substantial contribution to culture as well as in Japan.

Tea arrived in Japan along with Buddhism from neighboring China in the first half of the sixth century, during the Nara period. In particular, it was the Buddhism to encourage monks in the habit of drinking tea to stay alert during meditation.

The typical green tea used for tea ceremony today, the Matcha, in those days was still unknown. And only in the Kamakura period the Matcha was imported into Japan from China.

The Matcha is a very fine powder, dark green, strong-tasting and bitter. The Monk Eisai wrote "Kissa youjouki" (drinking tea for Growing Life), a fundamental book for understanding how to produce and drink tea at that time.At the beginning of the thirteenth century, the monk Eizon(1201-90) traveled to Japan explaining the purifying proprierties of green tea which became very popular.

Today the green tea is finally finding its rightful place in natural medicine for its positive action on health and well-being. Its regular intake has a curative , preventive effect on human health and it represents a panacea for circulation, heart, immune system.

From about thirty years this drink has been scientifically analyzed.
The interest arose from the fact that the Japanese and Chinese green tea drinkers compared to Westerners people, rarely suffered from cancercardiovascular disease and lived longer.

There are currently several projects of scientific research on green tea.
Its beneficial properties improve circulation, and prevent many factors that underlie cardiovascular diseases.

The accumulation of atherosclerotic plaques on the inner walls of blood vessels that supply blood to the brain and the heart muscle, is one of the causes can cause heart attacks, as they reduce the diameter of the vessels and obstruct blood flow, limiting the oxygen supply to heart muscle and brain.
So, blood clot (thrombus) deposited on an atherosclerotic plaque can finally blocks the flow of blood in the vessel that had already dangerously narrow.

The accumulation of atherosclerotic plaques in the arteries is favored where the internal walls are already affected by nicotine or if a blood pressure is too high. However, even food plays an important role in the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. The most Dangerous consist of cholesterol, a substance found in animal fats and taken with food. A diet rich in fat therefore contributes to arteriosclerosis.

The epigallo catechins in green tea, reduces the level of cholesterol. If you take the drink shortly after a fat meal, vessels are less affected , and they fight arteriosclerosis.

A study conducted in Japan in the early eighties showed that green tea also exerts a preventive action on cardiovascular and liver diseases; in fact those who drank green tea had a rate of total cholesterol much lower, resulting in reduced risk of atherosclerosis. Also green tea also seemed to be able to distinguish between good and bad cholesterol since the good increase in those who took it regularly.

Bad cholesterol (LDL, low density lipoprotein) is deposited on the inner walls vessels, while the good (HDL, high density lipoprotein) reduces risk of heart disease because it stimulates the breakdown of LDL in liver. Saponins contained in green tea, bind to cholesterol of food, preventing him from entering the bloodstream.

The Green tea also lowers the blood pressure because acts directly on the mechanisms of pressure regulation. The narrowing of the vessels increases the pressure blood.

The Catechin of this amazing detox tea also has a marked anticoagulant factor, preventing stroke.

A further benefit of this detox tea is its beneficial effect on digestive organs. This tea soothe the mucous membranes of the stomach and intestine. This detox tea is also an excellent natural remedy in diarrhea, since it inhibit the growth of various bacteria responsible of diarrhea.
It even makes harmless the bacilli of cholera joining together and preventing any movement.

The Green Tea also mitigates excess acids in the stomach. The bitter substances contained in it regulate the flow of bile and contribute to solving digestive problems and loss of appetite. Being an alkaine drink, it neutralizes and fights the gastric hyperacidity.

Its function is therefore important for the correction of unhealthy eating habits.
n China and Japan where it makes extensive use of green tea, the incidence of death from heart attacks, strokes and cancer is very low compared to Europe and America. Regular intake of green tea can prevent cancer of the esophagus, stomach, intestine, liver and lung, but also prostate, breast and skin.
What is certain is that the main anti-cancer substance in tea Green is a tannin, the epigallo-catechin gallate. This substance protects our cells from mutations caused by environmental poisons and chemicals. Among the harmful substances there are the nitrosamines, chemicals contained in small amounts in food preservatives and in tobacco smoke and beer.
Green tea protects against the harmful effects of nitrosamines. Experiments demonstrated that the epigallo-catechin gallate is able to inhibit the development of lung cancer caused by nitrosamines in the smoke tobacco. Polyphenols contained in tea, can make harmless these carcinogens. Antioxidants such as polyphenols in green tea can also neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause.

For a good detox program I really suggest Yogi Green Tea

This green detox tea was inspired by a remedy that dates back to ancient Russia. Updated for today’s lifestyle, yogi’s special formula of kombucha with organic green tea is designed to support your immune system, fight fatigue and detoxify your body. Spearmint naturally aids digestion, and plum and lemongrass combine to create a fragrant tea with a light, fruity flavor.
Once the steeping process has released the benefits of these ingredients, you are ready to enjoy a delicious, delightful and soothing cup of tea — one that is naturally rich in antioxidants and other health boosters.

The story of this detox tea begins in 1969 when Yogi Bhajan, an inspired and inspiring teacher of holistic living, started teaching yoga in America. He shared the wisdom and knowledge of Ayurveda and healthy living that he had mastered in India with his students while serving a specially spiced tea, which they affectionately named "Yogi Tea." The recipe contained five traditional Ayurvedic spices: cardamom seed, cinnamon bark, clove bud, ginger root and black pepper. When blended and brewed, these delicious spices leave you feeling vibrant and alive, while boosting overall well-being. Intrigued by the complex flavor and inherent health benefits of this unique combination of spices, it wasn't long before several of the yogi's students were inspired to brew their own "Yogi Tea." In 1984 this grassroots endeavor blossomed into the Yogi Tea Company. Packages of the rough, dried spices began to appear in natural foods stores throughout Southern California. As demand increased, the spices were more finely ground, packaged and sealed into individual tea bags. By 1986, Yogi Tea was distributed nationwide in three flavors.

Since I started drinking this tea, my skin is clearer than ever, my energy levels have increased and I really enjoy the quality of the tea. This tea has a pleasant taste and is as easy to prepare as any tea. It gives me the ability to cleanse from the inside out. I would recommend this to anyone who is having a lifestyle change or is wanting to rejuvenate themselves.
