Detox teas?

[Louise1]

Does anyone know if the Traditional Medicinals or Yogi Detox teas help withdrawal at all?

Also, what about sitting in a sauna to sweat out more toxins?

Hi Louise,

I never tried the detox teas, but I've heard other people talk about the dangers of overstressing your liver. It's already doing all it can to detox naturally. Milk thistle is supposed to be good at helping your liver heal.

For me, a sauna would be too intense at first, but after a few days it sounded better.

I see you're in San Francisco--the Japanese baths on Geary are a fantastic place to relax. You just have to make sure you go on a woman's day as they're public. Also, there's a place on Van Ness called The Hot Tub that's clean and fairly cheap. There's a sauna in each room as well and they're private. Finding new ways to relax without alcohol is important.

I hope you're feeling better. :)
