1 cup (medium) of Detox Tea (240 g) has 2 calories. That works out to 1 calories per 100 g. It contains 0.5 g of carbs, 0.2 g of protein, 0 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its 0.2 mg of Manganese covers 8% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 0 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Detox Tea is a broad name for herbal infusions or blends rather than one standard recipe; the herbs and flavour vary by product. It is usually made by steeping the blend in hot water and is sold internationally, often as a caffeine-free alternative to regular tea, though the ingredients differ. Check the label for brewing directions and what is actually in the blend.
Depending on the herbs, the cup may taste grassy, floral or mildly spiced. Unsweetened, it is very low in calories and is best thought of as a light drink, not a substitute for a meal. Enjoy it hot or chilled, and skip added sugar if you want to keep it light. Persistent swelling is a reason to seek medical advice rather than rely on a tea.

How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

No, detox tea does not remove toxins from your body; your liver and kidneys do that. Some blends may increase urination or bowel movements, but those effects are not evidence that the tea is cleansing your system.
Detox tea is usually a blend of herbs, and there is no standard recipe. Ingredients may include green tea, ginger, dandelion, or senna; check the specific blend, since products with senna can have a laxative effect.
Detox tea does not cause lasting fat loss. A blend that increases urination or bowel movements may temporarily change the number on the scale through fluid or stool loss, but that is not the same as losing body fat.
Yes, detox tea can contribute to dehydration if it causes frequent urination or diarrhea, especially when consumed in excess. The risk is greater with blends containing strong diuretic or laxative herbs such as senna.
Not every detox tea is suitable for daily use. Some blends contain herbs that act as laxatives or diuretics, and frequent use can cause unwanted fluid loss; follow the product directions and avoid prolonged use of laxative teas.
Some detox teas contain senna, a laxative herb, but many do not. Check the ingredient list for senna or other bowel-stimulating ingredients; teas containing them are not simply ordinary herbal drinks.
There is no proven best time to drink detox tea. If the blend makes you urinate more or stimulates your bowels, drinking it earlier in the day may be more comfortable than having it close to bedtime.
Detox tea is not a reliable treatment for bloating. A warm drink may feel soothing, but laxative ingredients can cause cramps or diarrhea, and increased urination will not address gas-related bloating.
You can drink detox tea before bed, but it may disrupt sleep if it contains caffeine or makes you urinate more. Check for green or black tea in the blend, as well as herbs with diuretic effects.
Ask your doctor or dietitian before drinking detox tea during pregnancy. Blends vary, and some herbs may not be suitable during pregnancy; products that act as laxatives or diuretics can also affect fluid balance.
