When the sun is shining, you need a refreshing beverage, in addition to your water of course. You need to have water on you all day during these hot summer days, but you can enhance your hydration efforts, while delivering some much needed nutrients and electrolytes to your body, with this peach mango agua fresca. What is an agua fresca, you ask? The literal translation means “fresh water,” and it is a light, non-alcoholic beverage popular in Mexico and Central America.

Traditionally, an agua fresca blends fresh fruit with water and some sort of sweetener, typically a lot of sugar, and maybe a hint of lime juice, depending on the recipe. What separates this agua fresca recipe from the others is that it does not contain an entire bucket of sugar. The natural sweetness from the peaches is all you need, but you can add the optional agave nectar if the beverage is not sweet enough for your liking. You may also prefer the agave nectar if the lime you use has a little extra zing or zest to it, meaning it is tarter than you expect.

Unlike other juicing recipes, this one does not require a juicer. Blend everything together in a blender until it is very smooth and you no longer see any bits of peach or ginger. To serve, you have to pour the mixture through a cheesecloth or nut milk bag to avoid taking large gulps of peachy ginger pulp.

The post 7 Herbs That Can Help Lower Blood Pressure appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

]]>

If you currently live with high blood pressure, health experts recommend taking measures to manage the condition. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, proper sleep habits, stress reducing techniques, and more can all help lower blood pressure levels. According to research, many herbs are helpful tools for regulating blood pressure and supporting heart health. In fact, many of the herbs in this article have been used in traditional medicine for centuries to benefit cardiovascular health. Continue reading to learn all about them. 

HIbiscus

Technically a beautifully stunning flower, hibiscus may be beneficial in lowering blood pressure levels when consumed as hibiscus tea. The antioxidants in hibiscus tea relax blood vessels and work to improve circulation. Some studies indicate that drinking one to three cups per day can significantly lower blood pressure. A small pilot study suggests that hibiscus may be as effective as certain blood pressure medications in treating mildly high blood pressure, but more research is needed. 

Holy Basil

Holy basil, or tulsi, is a common herb used for stress management. Since stress can contribute to high blood pressure, holy basil may be effective at lowering blood pressure. Researchers note that in addition to lowering stress hormones such as cortisol, holy basil contains compounds that help relax blood vessels and reduce inflammation. There is currently no dosage information for holy basil, but most studies have used doses of 250 to 1,200 milligrams of holy basil extract per day. 

Turmeric

The anti-inflammatory spice that makes everything nice has another benefit: potentially lowering blood pressure. Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, supports the flexibility and function of blood vessels. That process can help maintain proper flow and reduce blood pressure in the process. Some studies show mixed results, but others suggest that turmeric may be effective at lowering systolic blood pressure. 

Flaxseed

Rich in fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants, flaxseed is definitely a super food. All of those nutrients have proven to be effective at lowering blood pressure and improving cardiovascular health. One meta-analysis found that supplementing with flaxseed reduced both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Another study found that taking 30 grams of ground flaxseed daily over a 12-week period helped lower blood pressure and improve heart health. 

Garlic

Garlic’s active compound allicin works to relax blood vessels, improve circulation, and lower blood pressure, according to researchers. Studies indicate that garlic supplements, especially aged garlic extract, have been effective at reducing systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Additionally, garlic supplements, either alone or in conjunction with blood pressure medications, may reduce the risk of cardiovascular episodes related to high blood pressure, such as stroke or heart attack, by 15 to 40%. 

Cardamom

Cardamom seeds are naturally rich in anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds that help to improve circulation and relax blood vessels. One study found that cardamom supplementation led to modest reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure. It is possible that cardamom may regulate blood pressure by acting as a calcium channel blocker and stimulating the production of nitric oxide, two things that support healthy blood flow.

Ginger

The antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties reportedly help to lower blood pressure. It helps to improve circulation, relax blood vessels, and reduce inflammation. Several studies found that supplementing with ginger may reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure in a positive way. Small, short-term research studies suggest that it’s beneficial to supplement with three grams or more of powdered ginger daily to manage blood pressure.

Don’t want to make a smoothie on the raw vegan diet? There are other options, like chia pudding, that change up raw vegan breakfast game. Not to mention, chia pudding is an incredibly filling dish that is highly versatile. Given that blackberries are in season during summer, we decided to make this recipe with fresh blackberries. If you don’t have access to fresh blackberries, feel free to use frozen blackberries, so long as they are free of added sugars and preservatives. We just recommend that you thaw them prior to blending with the other ingredients.

One ingredient that will catch your palate by surprise is the freshly grated ginger. It’s a little kick that beautifully complements the sweet and tart blackberries. If you have an aversion to ginger, for some strange reason, feel free to omit it from the recipe. It is highly beneficial for the body, though, offering lots of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. All of those active compounds work to enhance immune function, but the blackberries also contain beneficial antioxidants that aid immunity. The choice is yours, regarding ginger.

One last thing to note: you do not have to use homemade almond milk if you do not enjoy almond milk. You can make your own cashew milk, pecan milk, walnut milk, or even sunflower seed milk if you prefer those varieties. Just make sure that you do not use store bought nut or seed milks for the chia pudding. Most store bought varieties contain added sugars, thickening agents, and preservatives.

This is about to be your go-to immune support tea, which you desperately need if you feel a cough or cold coming on. It’s always possible to get sick, especially if you encounter bacteria or viruses, even during the summer. It is warming and contains immune-boosting ingredients, such as lemon, cinnamon, orange, ginger, and turmeric. Don’t worry, you get to sweeten the tea with raw agave nectar, so it won’t be too intense for your palate. If you want to be successful with this tea, we have a couple suggestions:

If you want to make a larger batch of tea to store for later, make sure to strain the tea before serving. That will ensure that the flavor isn’t too intense. Another option is for you to store it in the fridge and use it as iced tea, if you don’t like drinking warm beverages when the weather is hot.

Always choose fresh ingredients if they are accessible. Ginger and turmeric are great in dried form, but the fresh varieties have stronger flavors and higher nutritional content.

Always listen to your body because everyone reacts differently to various herbs and ingredients. You can customize the ingredients in this tea, so long as they are cleanse-approved. If you change out ingredients and add onion and garlic, for example, keep in mind that the flavor will either intensify or change.

The post Great Detox Drinks For Summer Weight Loss appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

]]>

Detox drinks have gained popularity as popular drinks that aid your weight loss efforts. They contain a mix of fruits, vegetables, herbs, or natural ingredients that boost the body’s ability to eliminate toxins. Think of “detox beverages” as an umbrella term for infused waters, juices, smoothies, teas, and other related drinks. Their appeal is simple: they offer a natural way to encourage detoxification in a refreshing, tasty, and easy-to-consume way. 

What Are The Benefits And Claims?

There is no denying that people regularly ingest pollutants and artificial chemicals on a daily basis. From environmental pollution to heavily processed foods, harmful chemicals and pathogens are near impossible to avoid. Consuming detox drinks can give the body’s natural detoxification processes a helping hand. In fact, some healthcare experts praise detox drinks because they help relieve bloating, gas, headaches, fatigue, and may even help cleanse the liver and digestive tract. 

Because detox drinks contain a diverse mix of natural ingredients, they work to enhance weight loss efforts and reduce inflammation. You may find that you experience a renewed sense of energy after consuming one or more of the drinks in this article. By promoting detoxification, you may experience reduced acne, hydrated skin, better digestion, fewer aches and pains, weight loss, and healthier hair. As always, though, maintaining a healthy diet, optimal sleep, and regular exercise is necessary for optimal health. The following beverages can aid your detox efforts, but they won’t counteract unhealthy diet and poor lifestyle habits. 

Cucumber Mint Detox

Mint can help improve the flow of bile in the stomach and cucumbers help protect the body from oxidative stress. The combination of cucumber, mint, and lemon works well for maintaining the body’s fluid and mineral balance as well. All three ingredients contain beneficial antioxidants that may help improve digestion and neutralize free radicals. Prepare this drink by washing, peeling, and slicing two cucumbers. Add the sliced cucumbers, a handful of fresh mint leaves, and a sliced lemon to a large pitcher. Fill with water, stir, and refrigerate for about an hour so the flavors can infuse into the water. Sip and enjoy.

Orange Carrot Ginger Detox

Get ready for a major dose of beta-carotene and vitamin C, two antioxidant compounds that contribute to optimal digestion and immune function. According to health studies, beta-carotene may aid your weight loss efforts by improving digestion, just like ginger. Praised for its anti-inflammatory properties, ginger may reduce bloating, improve digestion, and reduce stomach cramps. In order to make this drink, juice one large carrot and two oranges separately. Pour both the orange and carrot juices into a blender and add one tablespoon each of freshly grated turmeric and ginger root. Blend for 30 seconds, strain the mixture, and then serve. 

Pomegranate Aloe Vera Detox

Not only is this a visually stunning beverage, but it also does wonders for your digestive and immune systems. The important instruction here is to use fresh aloe vera, not store bought aloe juice. You want that gel straight from the source! Aloe vera has been known to reduce bloating, regulate bowel movements, relieve constipation, and improve digestive discomfort. Beet juice works to cleanse the liver, improve circulation, and cleanse the blood. Pomegranates happen to be one of the richest sources of antioxidants, which fight free radicals and boost immune function. To make this juice, peel the rind from an aloe vera plant leaf. Discard the rind and reserve about two tablespoons of aloe vera gel. Add that to a blender with two cups of unsweetened pomegranate juice and 1/2 cup of diced beet. Blend until smooth and mix in a dash of black pepper prior to serving. 

Simple Lemon Detox

Drinking water is obviously beneficial for your health, promoting optimal circulation and waste elimination. Infusing your water with lemon can help enhance those efforts. Lemons are naturally rich in vitamin C, which benefits your bones, gums, skin, and immune system. It’s very easy to create this detox drink because all you have to do is squeeze two to three lemons in one liter of water. Add a pinch of sea salt, mix, and enjoy over ice. 

Ginger Lychee Lemon Detox

As stated earlier, ginger is rich in anti-inflammatory properties that may ward off inflammation. Some research indicates that ginger may help the body cleanse certain organs. Additionally, lychee fruit contains epicatechin and rutin, two antioxidant compounds that help protect against chronic diseases, cataracts, oxidative stress, and more. Find a large mason jar and place a half-cup of minced ginger, half-cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and one cup of fresh lychee juice. Add ice to your desired temperature and a pinch of sea salt, mix, and then enjoy. You have the option to add some sliced grapes and a couple tablespoons of chia seeds for added nutritional benefits.

Summer translates to carefree fun in the sun, outdoor activities, and social gatherings, but it also invites unhealthy cravings. Foods that people consider classic refreshments, snacks, and desserts rack up excess calories. If the goal is to stay slim and summertime fine, the last thing you want is to accumulate waste in the body. Unfortunately, summer snacks and drinks can easily make that happen. 

That’s where detox iced teas come enter the equation. Sip rejuvenating beverages that enhance hydration efforts and simultaneously aid with flushing harmful toxins out of the body. Regular consumption of these detox iced teas may aid weight loss efforts by increasing metabolism. It’s important to note that drinking detox teas and maintaining an unhealthy diet will not yield positive results. The teas do not simply cancel out poor lifestyle choices and unhealthy eating habits. Losing weight requires a multi-faceted approach, and these teas merely enhance weight loss efforts.

How Can Teas Boost Weight Loss?

One of the primary compounds of green tea leaves is caffeine. It acts as a mild stimulant that works to improve exercise performance and fat burning. According to research, the most impressive aspect of green tea’s nutritional profile is the antioxidant content. Researchers confirmed that drinking green tea works to slowly increase blood antioxidant levels. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the standout antioxidant in green tea and it has been known to boost metabolism. 

In order to burn fat, the body has to break down fat cells and move them into the bloodstream. EGCG works to inhibit an enzyme that breaks down norepinephrine, a hormone involved in fat burning. By inhibiting this enzyme, norepinephrine increases to enhance the breakdown of fat cells. Caffeine may also enhance the efforts of EGCG on fat cells. Additionally, EGCG increases the body’s ability to burn more calories, even at resting metabolic rate. Most studies confirmed that people who drank green tea experienced a 3-4% increase in metabolism. If you follow a 2,000 calorie per day diet, that translates to about 60-80 calories. 

We gathered three impressive detox iced tea recipes that can enhance your weight loss efforts. Sip them throughout summer and let us know how you enjoy them in the comments.

Ingredients:

  • 2 green tea bags

7 Drinks That Can Improve Gut Health https://www.dherbs.com/articles/7-drinks-that-can-improve-gut-health/ Fri, 27 Jun 2025 09:02:00 +0000 https://www.dherbs.com/?p=176171

A happy gut can help you avoid tummy troubles and experience better immune function. These drinks may promote better gut health.

The post 7 Drinks That Can Improve Gut Health appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

]]>

To be very clear, fostering a healthy gut is not just about improving digestion and avoiding tummy aches. Establishing a diverse microbiome can enhance immune function and even support your mood. Sure, the food you eat influences gut health, but the drinks you consume play a bigger role than you think. Sugar-sweetened sodas and juices, alcoholic beverages, and coffee with more creamer than coffee can all wreck your gut. Instead, focus on creating a happier, healthier microbiome with the beverages in this article. 

Kombucha

This fermented beverage is more than a fizzy health trend. Kombucha contains live probiotics that can help improve gut microbiome. It is also rich in antioxidants, which work to combat inflammation. Kombucha’s gut-improving benefits stem from its fermentation and probiotics. Fermentation creates fatty acids, which work to reduce inflammation and aid the production of enzymes and B-vitamins, which help enhance immune function.

Jun

We remain on the fermented beverage train with this healthy option made with green tea and raw honey. It contains living probiotics that help support the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut. Unlike kombucha, Jun tastes a little gentler and is softer on the digestive system, primarily because of its lower acidity and honey-based fermentation. The probiotics in Jun work to repopulate healthy bacteria, while the green tea contains antioxidants that reduce gut inflammation.

Kefir

The third and final fermented drink on this list is kefir, a fermented dairy product made by two types of fermentation. The first method is lactic acid fermentation via the fermentation of milk sugar known as lactose. The second method is alcoholic fermentation done by the fermentation of yeast via kefir grains. The fermentation process creates bioactive compounds, including organic acids, peptides, and kefiran. Research notes that these compounds contribute to kefir’s ability to fight harmful bacteria in the gut. 

Ginger Tea

Supporting gut health by stimulating digestion and promoting motility, ginger tea may encourage daily bowel movements. Add some fresh ginger root to a mug and pour hot water over it. That’s it! You can sweeten it with raw honey, agave nectar, or stevia for a better taste. Ginger’s anti-inflammatory and carminative properties work to soothe the digestive tract and reduce bloating. That’s why it is an excellent option for gut health!

Peppermint Tea

Just like ginger tea, peppermint tea is a wonderful beverage for your gut. Research shows that peppermint tea can help relax the muscles in the gastrointestinal system. It may also help reduce bloating, indigestion, and symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The refreshing flavor of peppermint makes it a great post-meal drink to soothe the stomach and keep you feeling light as you get ready for bed. 

Prune Juice

According to nutritional data, one serving of 100% prune juice contains four grams of fiber, which is necessary for optimal digestive health. Several studies indicate that drinking prune juice can help relieve constipation naturally, due to the fiber and sorbitol. 

Beet Juice

Researchers note that beets boost blood flow, especially to the digestive tract, because they are rich in nitrates. Not only does increased circulation to the gut promote healthy digestion, but it also helps relieve sluggish bowels and may even reduce gut inflammation. Beets also contain fiber, polyphenols, and compounds such as betaine, which has been linked to improved liver function and digestion. If you don’t like the earthy flavor of beets, you can add in some fresh orange, carrot, or apple juice to make it more palatable.

The lymphatic system essentially acts as the body’s internal drainage system. It is responsible for removing toxins and waste from cells, and a poor-functioning lymphatic system can cause bloating, weakened immune function, and sluggishness. By stimulating lymphatic drainage, you can not only boost immune function, but also clear up the skin and increase energy levels. 

In order to promote lymphatic drainage, you have to move the body or encourage lymphatic flow via massage. The lymphatic system collects lymph and returns it to the heart via a network of vessels and nodes. Anything that disrupts this process can cause lymph to accumulate in the arms, legs, ankles, and other parts of the body. Lymphatic drainage works to eliminate harmful toxins and support the body’s ability to recover and heal more efficiently. Several studies note that regular lymphatic drainage promotes improved vitality and overall health. 

What Happens During A Lymphatic Massage?

A lymphatic drainage massage involves light pressure and strategic massage patterns that help clean out the lymphatic system. Generally, a massage therapist will stimulate the areas of the body that house your lymph nodes to get the massage started. That means that they will massage the armpits, neck, and (with consent) your groin area. Finally, they will help coax excess lymphatic fluid from your swollen tissues toward the lymph nodes, where the lymph is reabsorbed. 

Why Make A Lymphatic Drainage Massage Cream?

A lymphatic drainage cream is a cost-effective way to help improve lymphatic flow. Using the cream in this article can help support the body’s ability to eliminate toxins and excess fluid. It may also enhance lymphatic circulation, reduce swelling in problem areas, and aid the system’s natural detoxification process. Let’s take a look at the ingredients and how they benefit your lymphatic system: 

  • Calendula: Known to promote circulation, reduce inflammation, and aid detoxification. 
  • Cleavers: This type of herbaceous plant has small, hooked bristles on the stems that allow them to cling to different objects. Cleavers are commonly used in herbal remedies because of their purported lymphatic and diuretic properties. They may stimulate the lymphatic system, increasing the flow of fluid through lymph vessels, which ultimately facilitate the elimination of toxins and waste products. 
  • Burdock root: Commonly used in traditional medicine and culinary practices, burdock root exhibits powerful anti-inflammatory effects that support digestive health. These anti-inflammatory properties may also reduce inflamed lymph nodes and reduce congestion in the lymphatic system. In doing so, burdock root may help support lymphatic function and flow. The diuretic properties may also help reduce fluid buildup in the body, helping eliminate toxins and waste products. 
  • Yarrow: Researchers note that yarrow works to stimulate lymphatic flow, support detoxification, and reduce inflammation and swelling. It may also enhance immune function and promote overall lymphatic health. 
  • Ginger: Like the other ingredients in the cream, ginger helps to stimulate lymphatic drainage and reduce inflammation. It may also support your detox efforts and encourage healthy circulation. 

DIY Lymphatic Drainage Massage Cream

Ingredients For Herb-Infused Oil:

  • 1/4 cup ginger root
  • 1/4 cup calendula flowers
  • 1/3 cup cleavers
  • 1/4 cup burdock root
  • 1/4 cup yarrow
  • 1 cup carrier oil of choice

Instructions For Herb-Infused Oil:

  • Add all of the herbs to a jar and pour the oil in until the herbs are completely covered. 
  • Store the jar in an area that gets direct sunlight, such as a windowsill, for two weeks, shaking the jar every few days. 
  • Strain the herbs through a fine mesh sieve and collect the oil in a separate jar.

Ingredients For The Cream:

  • 1/4 cup infused oil
  • 1/4 cup raw cocoa butter
  • 1/4 cup mango butter
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 15 drops grapefruit essential oil

Instructions For the Cream:

  • Add the infused oil, cocoa butter, mango butter, and coconut oil to the top of a double boiler over simmering water. 
  • Stir frequently until all of the ingredients are fully melted. Remove from the stove and then pour the mixture into a bowl. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to one hour, or until the mixture solidifies. 
  • Remove the solidified mixture from the fridge and whip it using an electric hand mixer until it is fluffy. 
  • Spoon the mixture into a container and store in a. cool, dry place. Massage over lymph nodes during a lymphatic massage to promote lymphatic detoxification.

We’ve never posted a recipe for a granita before, but there’s a first time for everything. A granita is a semi-frozen dessert typically made with water, sugar, and different flavors. It originated in Sicily, but it is available in may regions throughout Italy. Think of a granita as a hybrid between sorbet and Italian ice.

Now, we are not providing a recipe that consists of sugar, water and flavors. What we are providing you is a wonderfully refreshing iced creation that you can either enjoy as a dessert or refreshing drink in the sun. Not only is it a non-alcoholic concoction that enhances your hydration efforts, but it is also highly delicious, perfectly citrusy, and loaded with an assortment of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Take ginger, for example, which exhibits preventative, healing, anti-inflammatory, and anti-nausea benefits. Gingerols, which are the antibacterial compounds found in ginger root, can even prevent oral bacteria from growing.

Given that mint is in this drink, it can feel like a mojito mocktail, and who doesn’t love that? Mint can help boost immunity and get rid of bad breath. If you suffer from acid reflux, be careful to not consume too much of this drink because ginger can sometimes have adverse effects. We do recommend that you enjoy this refreshing beverage because the weather is getting warm!

Some people have only ever had cooked beets. Typically, they come steamed or roasted, and it is during the cooking process that some of that earthy flavor disappears. You can be a fan of cooked beets, but so too can you be a fan of raw beets. You won’t be cubing beets and eating them raw or taking bites out of whole beetroot like an apple, though. By enjoying beets in their raw form, you reserve all of the nutrients, which can decrease during the cooking process.

Due to their firm texture, raw beets hold up impressively well in salads and slaws, especially when shredded or thinly sliced. This sweet and crunchy beet carrot slaw is highly addictive. Not only is this slaw packed with texture from the carrots and beets, but it is also naturally stunning and easy to prep. Make it ahead of time, and it will taste even better after marinating in the mint dressing. Due to its versatility, you can serve it as a salad, side dish, pile it on a grain bowl, or serve it inside a wrap.
