Do you feel the need to lighten your body or find a boost of energy?Certain medicinal plants, known for their detoxifying, draining or digestive properties,can help you naturally.

In infusion, they offer a gentle and effective solution to support elimination organs such as the liver, kidneys or skin.

Here is our expert selection of the best detox plants, with all the advice on how to use them properly.

1. Why do a detox cure with plants?

The human body naturally has five excretory organs—liver, kidneys, intestines, lungs, and skin—to eliminate toxins. However, faced with an often stressful modern lifestyle, an unbalanced diet, or occasional excesses, these organs can become overworked.

A well-conducted detox treatment, with plants selected for their draining, hepatic or digestive properties, helps support these natural elimination functions.

In herbal medicine, certain medicinal plants are recognized for their ability to promote drainage of the body , stimulate liver function or improve skin radiance. They are particularly recommended during the inter-seasons — in spring and autumn — but can also be used occasionally after overly rich meals or a period of fatigue.

Expert advice : An effective treatment is accompanied by good hydration, a plant-based and digestible diet, and restful sleep. Infusion is an ideal way to gently extract the active ingredients from plants, while also contributing to your water intake.
