Yesterday (August 11, 2022) was Raksha Bandhan and we celebrated that day with great fun and enthusiasm. On this day brothers and sisters come together and spend the day with love, laughter; And of course, loads of food. We prepare a variety of delicious dishes for our siblings which include a variety of fried foods, sweets and much more. And let’s agree, we go on a binge spree putting all our diet ideas aside. It later makes us feel heavy from within. This is why experts recommend doing a post-festive detox the next day. A proper detoxification after festivals helps us to cleanse the body, regulate digestion and metabolism. When we talk about detoxification, the first thing that comes to our mind is herbal tea. Tea, made from healthy herbs and spices, fills us with many essential nutrients, and flushes out toxins.
