Yerba Mate Digestion and detoxification…

One of the things I focused on before my RA went into remission was detoxifying my body. There was a little pizzaria in my small town run by a brazilian family. The owner introduced me to Yerba Mate tea which they sold in bulk. The owner of the shop claimed the tea was a good way to detox. I was willing to try anything, and I drank a cup of Yerba Mate tea everyday. I was doing other things as well, but I could tell a difference. Here is a link that talks about some of the benefits of Yerba Mate tea: http://www.kasiaorganicsalon.com/2010/05/yerb...
