Popular Detox Drinks

Detox drinks can include smoothies, green juices, teas, or the ever-popular master cleanse lemonade drink. Learn more below.
Tea

Many different types of tea can help you detoxify, including turmeric, lemongrass, marshmallow root, and milk thistle. Avoid herbal laxative teas that contain Senna and Cascara, which are harsh and may not be safe for the digestive system.

Two ingredients I recommend for detoxification are dandelion root and green tea leaves. You can make your own tea by buying ingredients or premade teabags from a natural health food store.
Dandelion Root Tea

Dandelion root has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese medicine and ancient Indian medicine (Ayurveda) to support liver and gallbladder health[1] — a use confirmed by modern science.[2, 3] Dandelion also promotes the production of bile and stomach acid, so people with gallstones or ulcers should avoid it.[1]

You can buy dandelion tea online or at a nearby natural health store. You can buy several varieties of premade detox tea that contains dandelion root, but some natural health food stores sell dandelion root and dandelion leaf in bulk so you can make tea. Combine it with marshmallow root plus chamomile flower for a sweet flavor.
Green Tea

Green tea is known for its antioxidant properties.[4] Antioxidants work to counter damage to cells caused by toxins and pathogens, so drinking a tea or juice with high antioxidant properties helps your body detoxify.

Studies have found that green tea lowers bad (LDL) cholesterol and blood pressure as well.[5, 6] Matcha green tea powder has 100 times more antioxidants than plain green tea.[7] While green tea is an infusion from the tea leaves, matcha powder is made by grinding up young green tea leaves, which results in more detoxifying antioxidants. Matcha has positive effects on the kidney and liver.[8]
Master Cleanse Lemonade

Lemons have many powerful properties that assist the body in detoxing. Lemons help with cleansing the liver, kidneys, and colon.[9, 10, 11] One of the most popular detox diets, the Master Cleanse, is lemonade made with cayenne pepper, organic lemons, and pure maple syrup. You can make the lemonade in single glasses, or a large pitcher — but add the cayenne as needed to each glass, or it will make the drink bitter.

Use two tablespoons of organic lemon juice, two tablespoons organic grade B maple syrup (not the fake stuff), one-eighth teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 10 ounces of distilled water. This is a juice-only cleanse; drink only this lemonade for 10 days. Afterward, transition off by drinking fresh-squeezed organic orange juice for one day, and then eating a homemade vegan soup for two more days.

For the full effect, most Master Cleanse participants flush their body with sea salt water, which must be consumed on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. Add two teaspoons of sea salt (not iodized table salt) to one quart of warm water. It’ll take about 30 to 45 minutes to work — be near a bathroom.

Detox Drinks for Liver Cleansing

Many foods have liver-cleansing properties, but beets, lemons, grapefruit, turmeric, peppermint, and apple cider vinegar are among the best. Peppermint is one of several herbs with strong liver-cleansing properties. Not only does peppermint stimulate liver bile production,[20] but it has also been found to protect the liver against toxic metals.[21] Not only that, peppermint relieves stress.

Beets, carrots, and apples are a few liver cleansing foods that can be juiced to create a delicious juice. My ACV-lemon water that’s described in the Best Detox Drink section is also great for the liver.
Dr. Group’s Liver Cleanse Juice

3 organic carrots (peeled and washed)

1 organic beet (peeled and washed)

2 organic red apples (washed and cut)

6 organic kale leaves

½-inch ginger root

½ organic lemon, peeled

Wash and peel all the items, and then add them to a juicer. If you prefer a thicker juice, you can blend them in a blender. Add ice if you prefer a cold drink.

Turmeric has liver-protecting effects and can defend against many types of toxins.[22] It also has antioxidant activity and reduces the body’s production of cytokines, which cause systemic irritation.[22] You can make a delicious turmeric drink for your liver.
