3 Healing Teas After
Binge Eating
Ate too
much? Here’s how to drive away discomfort and lethargy
Did you overdo things
this last long weekend? Chances are you did. Four consecutive holidays just
call for binge eating and relaxation. And while the latter has positive after
effects, the former can make you feel uncomfortable, lethargic and bloated. To
balance the effects of binge eating, try a refreshing herbal tea decoction.
This will not only help you detoxify but also reset your metabolism.
Here are three herbal
teas that will help you detoxify and rejuvenate yourself.
1.
Golden detox tea
Ingredients: A few
strands of saffron, some crushed cinnamon, crushed cardamom, seven to 10 tulsi
leaves.
Method: Heat four cups of
water in a heavy pot and add the cinnamon and cardamom. When the water is hot,
add the saffron. Add tulsi at the end. Once the water is reduced to half, pour
the decoction into a teapot. Let it stand for a few minutes. Drink it with a
teaspoon of organic honey. Health benefits: Cinnamon helps to control blood
sugar, while saffron is a great rejuvenator that builds immunity and gives a
glowing complexion. Tulsi helps to detoxify and cardamom is good for intestinal
movements. Organic honey, in small doses, is also a detoxifier. Drink this tea
in the evenings only as it is slightly warming.
2.
Spice cure tea
Ingredients: Fresh
turmeric, crushed coriander seeds and crushed ginger. Method: Same as described
for the tea above. Health benefits: Good for intestinal disorders, digestive
problems, food allergies, liver problems, high cholesterol and polycystic
ovaries.
3. Mint
and peppermint tea
Ingredients: Mint leaves
and peppermint leaves. Method: Boil till the water turns faintly green.
Health benefits: Controls
gas and bloating, Crohn’s disease, colitis and other intestinal conditions.
Drink this tea regularly to keep your digestive system in good stead. To make
the healing more effective, take three tablespoons of fresh aloe vera juice
every day on an empty stomach and eat saunf (fennel seeds) after your meals
along with a little jaggery.
