Long Life Teas Detox Tea

 Long Life claims its detox tea can cleanse your blood while helping to improve liver function.

The manufacturers say the tea made from organic ingredients including spearmint, dandelion, cinnamon and cocoa, can stimulate and sustain the correct way your body digests and processes food. It also has added licorice root, said to help adjust the level of salt in your blood.

What do you have to do?
The tea bags are not an individual detox treatment but are meant to be included as part of a general detox diet. Our volunteer included the detox tea as part of a weekend detox diet. Nutritionists says you can also drink the tea normally, as part of your regular diet.

Do you have to stick to a strict diet?
There was no recommended eating plan for the tea bags, so our volunteer devised her own detox menu.

This involved eating more fresh fruit, giving up tea and coffee, avoiding red meat and diary products and staying off fatty foods for the weekend. Our volunteer drank up to three cups of detox tea everyday in addition to at least one litre of water.

How did it taste?
It tasted very strongly of licorice and I hate licorice, so I ended up holding my breath before drinking the tea to try and avoid the taste. The tea also had a strong sugary aftertaste that made me gag slightly.

When did you feel it started working?
The first day I started the diet I had a headache, probably as a withdrawal symptom of giving up caffeine. But by the second day I did feel more energetic.

Did you have any side effects?
My skin came out in a few more spots than usual and when I passed water, it did smell quite strongly of licorice!

What was the most unpleasant aspect?
Probably the taste as it really put me off wanting to keep up with the diet. It was also really difficult for the first 12 hours to control my cravings for a cup of tea.

Do you feel it worked?
After doing the diet I did feel less lethargic and had more energy than usual on a Monday morning. But this could be due to the diet as a whole rather than the tea bags themselves.

Would you do it again?
I would do a detox diet again, but probably not with the tea bags. The benefits I felt could just be down to the fact I was drinking more fluid to flush out my system, rather than the health benefits claimed by the bags.

Would you recommend it?
Yes - but only if you can stomach the taste of licorice.
