Many people enjoy starting their day with lemon water, a common detox practice. It is important to keep your body cleansed and in good working order… so try this new twist to begin the day!
Enjoy a detox tea to help move toxins out of your body and keep your immune system in tiptop shape. Licorice root, fennel, ginger, and turmeric are powerful antiviral, cleansing substances. The addition of mint, coriander, and cinnamon provides immune system support and additional antioxidants.1,2 The Senna works as a natural laxative, helping to purge toxins and food waste from the body.
Ginger has long been used in various forms of both traditional and alternative medicine. It is popular with cleansing programs as it stimulates digestion, circulation, and sweating, flushing toxins from the colon, liver, and other organs. It has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.3 Ginger also helps reduce oxidative stress, supporting the immune system against the common cold and flu.
Licorice root has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries, offering antiviral, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory activities. It is soothing to the mucous membranes of the digestive tract, helping to support and repair the protective lining of the stomach and intestines, and maintaining those barriers against excess stomach acid.
Licorice root can increase blood pressure if taken continuously, therefore it is best to take it only for a few weeks and then take a break for a few weeks, and limit it to two-three cups per day. Anyone with kidney issues should not consume it unless directed by their doctor.
Mint soothes the stomach and promotes digestion. The mere aroma is enough to activate the salivary glands, which then secrete digestive enzymes, thereby enhancing digestion. Mint increases hydrochloric acid levels in the stomach and calms intestinal spasms,4 which helps reduce toxins inside the intestinal tract. The vitamin C, potassium, and B vitamins in mint support immune function and fight against microbes. The strong aroma is also helpful for clearing up congestion of the nose, throat, and lungs, making this tea ideal if you do get the flu.

Alternatively, you can add all of the ingredients directly into a large pot with 3 cups water and boil for 4 minutes; strain before using. If you own a French press, you can add 3 cups boiling water along with the remaining ingredients except the cinnamon stick and let stand for 5 minutes before plunging. Poor the tea into a mug with a cinnamon stick in it and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes.
Feel free to change it up by adding other detoxifying, antiviral spices such as black or cayenne pepper, cloves, or cumin seeds!
Don’t have time to make your own? Consider bagged antiviral, detoxifying teas such as licorice root, lemon balm, pau d’ Arco, milk thistle, and roasted dandelion root. Just remember that herbs are powerful, so it is best to alternate teas every few weeks.

Nothing else to say, But THANK YOU
Hi Charlene and Ty
Well impressed re detox morning drink. Pleased there are, real people , like yourselves, looking to help others caught up in traditional doctrines that need to be questioned and reviewed in the light of alternative natural methods that deserve consideration given the positive results reported in The Truth about Cancer. Many thanks . I’m sharing these findings with relatives and friends.
Wendy
That sounds absolutely delicious; I make Golden Tea using ginger, cardamon, turmeric, black pepper, but I use all ground spices. Have you made yours using ground ingredients?? If so, would you mind posting that as well? Thank you. Teddi
Many thanks! I will try it!
Please do let us know what you think about the recipe once you try it, Olga. 🙂
We’d love to hear your feedback!
I am an RN that assists the doctor performing Colonoscopies. We find that products containing Senna ( a laxative), can stain the lining of the colon causing a condition called Melanosis Coli. It is benign, and usually goes away once you stop ingesting it. So, I would not suggest using this tea daily.
I see you are connected with Dr. Axe. Please do not try to become a millionaire as it is not worth it; Hope you simply keep you mind on sharing information. Just a word of advice.
Hi Vee –
Thank you for your advice.
We’re definitely still all about the mission – and we always will be. Everything we do is for you and people just like you all around the world.
Thank you for your support!
Thank God for your life, and thank you also for given us a brighter light on a cancer. We now know the truth about cancer.
Could you please unveiled the cover on that deadly deases (HIV/AIDS ) ?
Kindly do the sech HIV, and let us know the truth about it(HIV/AIDS).
Thank you.
Have you ever encountered a cancer person who is so weak that they can’t hardly function? I was diagnosed Dec 3 2016 with Stage 4 breast cancer and lymph’s had two very large embolism in each lung. Nearly died. Chose no chemo or radiation or surgery. I believe God healed that cancer. But I started w/shortness of breath and cough again and being tired no muscle strength so I have to be very careful and tire very easy. I am trying to find a way to conquer that. I may have found a supplement that is helping my cough. It has improved. The one medicine I was on side effect is shortness of breath. I stopped it and am increased my mineral sulfur salts I am doing it for 1 mo to see if it stops. Still trying to find what to do for muscle strength ? I was very active and sharp at 82. Now am 85. Just want quality of life. And haven’t found anyone who can help me I eat organic foods, no sugar, try to exercise daily not sleeping mind still on overload. God cleared some. Still concerned about body weakness. Hospital suppressed hormones when I left Hospital drs told me I would be probably 2 1/2 yrs getting that out of system. It has been nearly that. I react to all medicines The weakness is what I want to improve. Quality of life Ty’s books and Chris Wark helped me thru my cancer walk
You need to eat an abundance of fruit. The natural sugars in fruit and raw honey and starchy vegetables such as potatoes are what give us energy. It’s also important to eat frequently throughout the day for people suffering with fatigue. When you go too long without eating and you’re glucose deficient then your blood sugar will drop too low. You can also be glucose deficient even when your blood sugar is too high because that means the sugar is building up in the bloodstream and not getting into the cells where its needed due to a high fat diet or combining sugars with bad fats and oils. Glucose is also what builds your muscles along with using your muscles Mineral salts are also critical for preventing muscle loss but they need to be bonded to natural sugars to be properly absorbed and used by the liver. It’s also critical to limit fat in the diet because too much fat in the diet prevents sugars from being absorbed causing insulin resistance. It also weakens the liver and our liver is responsible for keeping us alive. The Epstein-Barr virus is what causes breast cancer and many other types of cancer. The Epstein-Barr virus also causes chronic fatigue with or without cancer because it causes neurological fatigue where the nervous system becomes fatigued. When your nerves are very fatigued it can make you feel weak.
Good general information but remember: limit sugar if you have cancer – that’s what cancer feeds on.
Jo Ann get Dr Don Colbert’s “Hormone Health Zone” (can get from Amazon) Would bless you greatly in restoring your hormones (product also at Amazon). Read the book which is easy to read and you will get a lot of clear understanding and a great help to getting restored in your health.
Thanks for the great recipe.

Thank you so much for your dedication to educating the public.
Christine Bartholomew
Hi Christine –
We appreciate you reaching out to us about this. We’ll be sure to keep you and your daughter in our prayers.
Unfortunately, we are unable to give any kind of medical advice. The best advice we can give you is to consult with one of the doctors we interviewed in the Global Quest series.
Please note that we are not able to select an expert for you.
We’ve created a page with the experts’ contact info as it was available to us.
Here’s the link to the actual webpage:

We do have one more resource you may be interested in. During our Live Event 2017 series, Dr. Patrick Quillin suggested contacting The Institute of Functional Medicine to locate a practitioner in your area.
If you are interested, here is the link to search for a Functional Medicine Practitioner in your area: https://www.ifm.org/find-a-practitioner/

It sounds great, a step up from lemon juice. Thanks for this and all that you do.
Hello Charlene,
Thank you for this wonderful detox recipe. However, I am wondering exactly how much water should I use?
I am really looking forward to making this tea. I plan to pick up the ingredients today!
Thanks to you and Ty for all the great and true information you so graciously share with us.
God Bless you and your family. 🙏🏼🙌✝️
Hi Twylah –
Thanks for sharing! We’re happy to hear that you’ve enjoyed reading about this detox tea. 🙂
You could start with 1-2 cups of water to begin with, and adjust based on how much potent you would like your tea to be.
Enjoy! 🙂
Hello Charlene and Ty,
Love everything you are doing at The Truth About Cancer….
Keep up the great work and great job… Love all your wonderful information.
Love to meet both of you some day….
God’s Blessings,
Rick
Hi Guys,
Thanks for all that you are doing to inform the uninformed around the world .. my wife Minnie .. healed her stage 3 cancer in 5 weeks from her diagnosis.. naturopathically .. (regected oncology .. she saw her brother die .. after enduring chemo for 17 months .. he died 2 weeks before she was diagnosed) Our church has started a Health Forum .. as a result of Minnie’s testimony.. people want to know the truth. We believe that God has given us .. in His creation .. all we need to live healthy lives .. on earth. We have been following your publications for years .. Thanks once again .. God Bless you both . Mike Paterson .. South Africa
Hi Mike –
Thank you for sharing this with us.
We were blessed by this testimony.
God bless you and your family!
how did she heal it in 3 weeks and what kind?
Hi Karen,
Immediately my wife was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer, post surgical removal of 16cm of the colon – the cancer had spread into the lymph system – we went to a Naturopath and got every ‘weapon’ against cancer we could – very briefly being – micro electrical device that kills, parasites, bacterial and pathogens etc in your blood (Google Bob Beck) – also a similar device that has a deeper penetration action (also Bob Beck) – Vit. B17; Vit C; many other essential vitamins; Keifer; Cannibis oil; fermented veggies – changed our diet to organic and fresh & steamed vegan – very little meat – only organic chicken & fish – and many other similar things – all with a view to get the bodies (gut) balance back – but hugely and above all a positive mindset – that cancer is not a death sentence – and it is beatable. We still do the above diet – as a maintenance – the view being that why she got cancer in the first place is that was that she was doing something wrong – which needed to change – Her problem being mostly STRESS – .. 2 brothers with cancer !!!
Hello,
I have been studying Ayurveda for years and never came across this formula.
Where does this formula come from?
For which dosa(s) is it appropriate?
Thank you for the wonderful service you are providing to the world!
Tomas
Hi Tomas –
Thanks for your note.
You can find all of the sources for our article info if you scroll down to the end of the article. Right under the article summary you will see a link that says “Sources and References.” Please click on this and you will see the sources populate below.
This recipe produces 2-3 servings so you can decide (based on your own discretion or that of your healthcare practitioner) what dose works best for your body and needs.
Blessings and love!
Hello,
Those references are about some single herbs. Also, they refer to effects on baby chicks and fish.
Extrapolating to humans from fish or chicks could be wishful thinking.
There is nothing there about an Ayurvedic “formula” in the references.
Both Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine (TCM) base formulas on specific properties and decades of use. The ingredients of the official formulas are balanced to produce synergistic effects. When people simply combine herbs without applying the principles of Ayurveda or TCM, the results may be much different than desired. It does not follow that because one is using Turmeric in a formula of their own design, that it can rightly be called an Ayurvedic formula.
Can you see where I am pointing?
Tomas
I guess not…
Thank you so much much for sharing this great detox remedy. I believe that God created cure before He created illness. What you guys are doing is so inspiring for me that I want to be a part of your inspirational journey.
Always looking forward for more information.
to the man with the cough and weakness. I had the same thing and am doing much better with Hyperbaric oxygen, every week for about two months and then every other week.
To the same man – toxins in the system – I have had good luck using the Q-Energy Spa footbath. Very good at getting chemicals out.
Absolutely love you guys! The information I saw revealed on your Asian tour just floored me. I am a RN, and I place Picc lines in cancer patients daily. I recommend to them to check out your website and to not lose hope. I pray with them and give all the live and support I can. I have a mission of my own thanks to you guys. God bless you!
Hi Mark – we’re happy to hear that you found our info helpful!
Wishing you endless blessings and love!
Thanks for the recipe! I’ve tried to Pin it to one of my Pinterst boards, but sadly, it gets blocked. I tried to pin several other links from TTAC and they have all been blocked. Has this been an issue before? So disappointing!
Hi Silvia –
Thanks for your note.
Pinterest is shutting down the accounts of major health warriors to silence us and censor our voices. We have a full article on this as well:

Greetings! Just wanted to point out to your readers that have suffered or may be dealing with KIDNEY STONES, turmeric is not for them, and turmeric should be avoided at all cost. This applies to all forms of kidney stones. The LONG story short is that turmeric attaches to calcium, which attached to all stones, calcium and uric acid stones, the most common are affected twice as much as the remaining two much less common varieties of stones.
I’ve had and seen enormous success detoxification in all types of people, with and without kidney stones in another DETOX formula: a full glass of good water with some organic lemon juice. Wash down tablets of Magnesium OXIDE (1 for each 50lbs of your body weight), 2 tablets of Milk Thistle, 2 capsules (or one TBLSP) of Psyllium Husk, and a big TBLSP of Organic apple cider vinegar WITH THE MOTHER. 2 mornings in a row, for 3 – 4 weeks…for your first month.
Milk Thistle (cleanses the liver) can be taken for 30 days straight.
Some people that are not necessarily regular, can also take a TBLSP of castor oil. Pretty much all of the ingredients can be found at Walgreens, walmart or a health food store. BUT READ THE LABELS! You want good products, not something loaded with fillers and additives, and certainly, no ingredients that end with “-ose” (that’s a fake sugar!) A tytp[ical serving will cost about two bucks, but the time you amortize it all over the course of a year. In the 2nd – 12 month, you may consider doing this detox cleanse only once a month (2 consecutive days). This can also help with Kidney stones. Organic apple cider vinegar every morning with the lemon water can be a way of life, forever. SUPER healthful benefits.
Why can’t you take turmeric if you’ve had kidney stones? Is the only reason because it attaches to calcium?
Hi Tomas
Totally agree with your point. I’m a big fan of Ayurveda, for the last 4 years I have been reading about it. One of the things I have learned is that each of us has an unique body type meaning that we probably need different combinations of ingredients to heal an illness. Ayurveda is a science of life and like every other science, you need to be educated in the field to practice it.
I am trying to share some of your posts on Linkedin but I can not find it’s logo on your page.
This seems like a very good tea. Where can you purchase licorice root and Senna leaf?
