Yerba mate benefits any detox ritual. When consumed in the Traditional Yerba Mate Preparation Method, yerba mate tea faciliates the cleansing of the body.
According to The Review of Natural Products, Facts and Comparisons Group, Yerba Mate stimulates intestinal contractions and softens stools, thus generally helping to detox the body by controlling constipation and increasing the water loss from digestive movements, urination, and evacuation.

It is worth noting the following Ancient Chinese Proverb, “Better to be deprived of food for three days, than tea for one.”
