#TinyTeaTox with Your Tea | The Review
I have never before done a detox, of any kind. So when Tiny Tea contacted me to try their 14DAYTEATOX* I was intrigued to see whether this sort of thing would, you know ACTUALLY, work. I have tried and tested this quite a while ago now, and have been meaning to tell you all about my results.
I never really bloat, and I knew one of the main beneficiary factors of this tea-tox is the prevention of bloating. I like to think I look after my body with the food I eat and with the little, albeit rare, exercise I do here and there. So would I have seen a huge difference?
Firstly, how does it work? The idea is you drink 2-3 teas a day, 30 minutes prior to eating over the course of 14 days. Now, being incredibly forgetful and not at all strict, I actually have a few tea bags left over still which I have been drinking every now and then. So my review is based on when I remembered to actually drink this tea.
The special herbal blend is designed to nourish and cleanse your digestive system you see, restoring it back to it’s natural state. Thus it can assist with reducing weight, easing bloating, increasing digestion functionality, improving skin clarity, increasing energy levels and alleviate issues associated with food in-tolerances. The blend has been concocted with Chinese medicinal herbs and principles. Tiny Tea claims to be the only herbal cleanse on the market that does not produce a laxative effect.
Three days in, 9 tea bags down. I actually began to feel really ill. At the very same time I had started drinking green juices and I had been making every single meal from scratch, only eating vegetables and raw where possible. I figured with doing this tea detox I may as well jump on the health bandwagon completely. This is where I was wrong. I had shocked my body completely and became really poorly, as all of these toxins were leaving my body boosted with rocket fuel.
On the fourth day, I started to feel SO much better. I found it easier to wake up in the mornings and no where near as lethargic. I am naturally quite slim, falling in at a size 6, and with being so tall, 5ft 11, I have to really watch what I eat. Not in terms of cutting things out, but ensuring I am eating all the time. My metabolism is crazy fast, and a lot of you may be wishing this for yourselves, but trust me, I am always so so tired, I literally go into a food coma after two or three bites of food. It is not fun. So to drink this tea and discover a whole new boost of energy was just awesome for me.
In conjunction with drinking this tea, I have been drinking 2-3 litres of water a day and my skin is just so much clearer and my eyes are sparkly again.
I do believe this tea works, in terms of cleansing your digestive system, but if you are doing this tea and eating junk food 9-5 then what are you even doing it for? You need to nourish your body not just with a two week tea trial, but with everything you eat.
I am glad I tried out this tea, as it has given me the kickstart I needed to get back on track with looking after myself and treating my body with respect.
My tips for “Detoxing”? Try a tea-tox, buy a juicer, keep a food diary, and just start a little bit of exercise. Small steps.
