Drink this Digestive Tea to Flush Toxins

I drink this tea every day. Here’s why.

I begin every day by making a tea of cumin, coriander, and fennel (CCF tea) to stimulate my agni, or digestive fire. A strong agni takes anything that comes into your system and absorbs the nourishing parts while eliminating the rest. But agni is the weakest in the morning so I like to give it a boost upon waking with this powerful remedy.

3 powerful spices.

This trio creates powerful spice medicine that gently stokes the digestive fire without being so stimulating that you might overheat.

• Cumin: reduces cramps, gas, and indigestion; improves elimination; flushes toxins

• Coriander: increases absorption; improves digestion; calms muscle spasms; reduces inflammation

• Fennel: reduces cramps, gas, and indigestion; increases fat burning; moves lymph
