Detox greens is the right way to start your day. It's a collection of super greens and super Ayurvedic herbs. This combination when I made, I wanted something to address every aspect of our gut and tissue health. Detox greens is something that we can consume on a daily basis, and it can be just combined with water, and then you shake it up and you drink it, as simple as that. You need two tablespoons, 10 ounces of water, and your daily dose of amazing greens is here, with the power of Ayurvedic herbs. [...] The combination is to help with all the organs that support the digestive system. We have the dandelions that help the liver. We have moringa that helps with the organs in the head and neck region. We have turmeric that is great for clearing all the inflammatory toxins. We have amalaki, which will help us to rejuvenate the tissues. And then spirulina, papaya greens, help in saturating the gut with good bacteria and right enzymes that we need for the digestion. Athreya detox greens for all your gut needs.
