Better yet, fermented teas can include those same healthful benefits with an additional dose of live cultures, full of probiotics (like greens powder, which people sometimes take alongside these teas) to help ward off disease and leave the body feeling its best.

Checking out this detox foot bath chart to see what the color of the water means after use, will show you the impact it has had on your body.
