What Actually Happens in Your Body While You Sleep
Most people think of sleep as just rest. But your body is anything but resting while you sleep. Between 10 PM and 2 AM, the liver is at peak activity — processing toxins, repairing cells and cleaning up the metabolic waste that built up during the day. Your digestive system also uses this time to complete its work and reset for the next morning.
If you eat a heavy meal late, drink sugary drinks before bed or go to sleep stressed and inflamed, you are essentially giving the liver and digestive system extra work at a time when they are trying to do deep repair. Our Night Detox Tea is designed to gently support the liver and digestive tract through the night — not with stimulants or laxatives, but with calming, cleansing herbs that work with your body's natural rhythm.
The Herbs in This Blend and What They Do
-
Rooibos: Naturally caffeine-free and packed with antioxidants. Does not interfere with sleep and supports the liver's overnight detox work.
-
Licorice Root: Soothes the digestive tract, supports adrenal recovery after a stressful day and has mild anti-inflammatory properties.
-
Tulsi: Adaptogenic herb that reduces cortisol and prepares the nervous system for deep, restful sleep.
-
Cinnamon: Balances overnight blood sugar, which reduces the restless sleep and night sweats that come from blood sugar instability.
-
Moringa: Provides a nutrient boost that supports cellular repair during the sleep cycle.
When and How to Use It
Brew one cup about 30 to 45 minutes before you plan to sleep. Use 1 to 2 grams of tea in 200ml of near-boiling water and steep for 4 to 5 minutes. Drink slowly without milk. The ritual of making and drinking a warm cup before bed is itself calming — and that is very much part of how this tea works.
