Detox herbal teas: restore your balance after the festive season

The start of the year is the perfect time to reset and focus on your well-being. After the indulgence of the festive season, your body deserves a revitalising detox break. Cambodian teas, rich in benefits for digestion, relaxation, and energy, are the ideal way to embrace a health-focused start, adopt sustainable resolutions, and discover delightful new flavours.

After hearty meals and festive celebrations, our digestive system often needs some care. A detox routine can help to:

• Eliminate toxins: Support organs like the liver and kidneys in purifying the body with plant-based teas such as turmeric or moringa.
• Boost digestion: Ease bloating and feelings of heaviness with digestive-friendly plants like ginger or star anise.
• Restore inner balance: Incorporate tea as a soothing ritual that promotes relaxation and introduces you to exciting new flavours. Detoxing doesn’t mean giving up on enjoying life!

Wellness Tip: Start your day with a cup of detox tea to lay the foundation for a healthy routine. We recommend the Morning Boost Tea to kick off your day with flavour and vitality.

Certain plants are particularly effective in soothing digestive discomfort and stimulating detoxification. Cambodian teas, crafted with locally sourced, natural ingredients, are brimming with beneficial properties.

Best teas for digestion:

• Star anise and long pepper: These plants encourage the secretion of digestive juices, reducing bloating and aiding digestion.
• Turmeric and ginger: A powerful duo for detoxifying the liver and soothing digestive inflammation. Available as dehydrated petals, ready to infuse, or in powdered form for your beverages.
• Moringa leaves: Packed with antioxidants, they help eliminate toxins and support a healthy digestive system.
• Forest Elixir Herbal Tea: With a minty taste from wild cardamom, this tea offers a refreshing sensation while supporting digestion and relaxation—perfect for ending a meal or unwinding after a busy day.
• Hibiscus: Known for its slightly tangy flavour and stunning ruby-red hue, hibiscus is prized for its digestive benefits, thanks to its antioxidants and fibre content. It can promote healthy digestion and reduce bloating, leaving you feeling lighter after meals.

When to enjoy them: After a meal or at the end of the day for a calming effect.

The new year is the ideal time to introduce healthy habits. Cambodian teas seamlessly fit into a daily routine focused on health and serenity, making it easy to start the year with delicious and beneficial practices.

WHY CHOOSE CAMBODIAN TEAS?

• Ancient expertise: Inspired by Khmer traditions, these teas reflect generations of plant-based health knowledge. While rooted in the ancient practice of phytotherapy, they complement a balanced diet and physical activity without replacing them.
• Fair trade: Our teas are crafted with locally grown, organic ingredients sourced from our Kampot farm or partner family farms under a fair trade cooperative.
• Versatile benefits: From easing stress and improving sleep to strengthening immunity, there’s a tea to suit every need and preference, whether it’s the tangy notes of hibiscus, the aniseed warmth of star anise, or the invigorating zing of ginger petals.

Quality sleep is essential for starting the year refreshed. Certain teas offer soothing properties for the mind and body.

Teas for better sleep:

• Chamomile and verbena: Perfect for relaxing before bedtime.
• Passionflower and linden: Known to reduce insomnia and encourage deep, restorative sleep.
• Lemongrass leaves: Their subtle fragrance and calming properties ease the mind and prepare you for a peaceful night.

Teas to ease stress:

• Lemon verbena: Calms daily tensions and promotes relaxation.
• Moringa and ginger: Found in our Morning Boost Tea, this blend offers a balanced combination to calm the mind and reduce mental fatigue.
• Star anise: Its warm, slightly spicy aroma fosters a sense of calm.

Note: Consult a healthcare professional if you are pregnant or on medication.

Winter can sometimes drain your energy, but certain teas are here to revitalise both body and mind.

Tropical Delight Tea: With a blend of dehydrated pineapple, turmeric, hibiscus flowers, and cardamom, this tea provides a burst of vitamins and freshness. It boosts circulation, strengthens immunity, and offers a natural energy lift.

Dehydrated turmeric petals tea: Rich in turmeric, this tea is a powerful natural tonic. It combats fatigue, supports blood circulation, and boosts the immune system, keeping you active throughout the winter months.

These teas are your perfect allies for staying energised and well this season.

• Choose quality ingredients: Opt for dried plants from organic and fair trade sources.
• Follow the infusion time: Let the tea steep for 5–10 minutes. Too short, and the benefits won’t be fully extracted; too long, and the taste may turn bitter.
• Use filtered water: Clean water preserves the tea’s flavour and properties.
• Drink regularly: Establish a daily routine with 2–3 cups to maintain a lasting balance. Since these teas are caffeine-free, you can enjoy them any time of day.

This is the perfect time to prioritise self-care and adopt a simple, natural detox routine. With their benefits for digestion, stress, and sleep, Cambodian teas are your trusted companions for a gentle start to the year. Explore their delicious flavours and make wellness a daily habit.
