Juice Institute – Detox Cleanse Drink  

0422 145 835  

Juice Institute is proud as punch to use the worlds best cold pressed juicing technology right here in Adelaide. We craft our juice on the Goodnature X1 and select the freshest produce supporting local suppliers. Our cold pressed method allows us to extract the most nutrients from the plants,  whilst protecting and preserving the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants and natural properties. 

Other forms of juicing create heat from fast spinning blades, this causes oxidation and the loss of essential nutrients. Our cold pressed juicing causes no heat and preserves the integrity of these valuable nutrients. When we juice we take out the insoluble fibre, which means these nutrients need minimal digestion and are easily assimilated by our bodies. This is the beauty of fresh cold pressed juice, it nourishes our bodies and cells, provides deep hydration leaving us feeling energised, with increased vitality, immunity and well being. Cold pressed is Mother Natures multi-vitamin. 

Our juice is 100% raw, vegan, gluten free and unpasteurised and served in recyclable glass jars.  We add absolutely nothing to preserve its shelf life. There are no high pressure treatments here. This is the why Juice Institute juice is so special, it is raw plant goodness your body will love. Our cold pressed juice is fresh and best enjoyed within 4 days.

Our products are incredibly delicious, earthy, deep in flavours and natural, the colours are brilliant and the juice is packed full of real plant nutrition. You will not be disappointed, cold pressed is something special and your body will thank you and your taste buds will celebrate.

Traditional Medicinals – Detox Cleanse Drink  

8559720562

Traditional Medicinals is an independent company that embraces sustainability, ingredient purity, and social and environmental activism. A Certified B Corporation and California Certified Green Business, we’re the leading seller of wellness tea in the U.S. and the pioneer of the wellness tea category in the U.S. and Canada.

Our roots go back to a third generation herbalist named Rosemary Gladstar, who was raised close to the earth in the farmlands of Northern California. In the late 1960s, while living in the coastal redwood forest, she met community activist and environmentalist Drake Sadler. The young couple was part of a movement of back-to-the-land baby boomers seeking an alternative lifestyle, including natural foods and herbal remedies. Together, they shared a vision for the rebirth of herbalism in North America, and in 1974 they co-founded Traditional Medicinals.

Today, Rosemary is often referred to as the godmother of modern herbalism. She is a well-respected teacher and author who also founded The California School of Herbal Studies and the nonprofit United Plant Savers. Although no longer active in the company, Rosemary’s original herbal formulas (including Throat Coat, Mother’s Milk and Smooth Move) continue to fulfill the promise of quality and integrity.

After decades of leadership, Drake transitioned away from company management and is now focused (with support from Traditional Medicinals Foundation) on working with and empowering the mostly indigenous and impoverished communities around the world that collect and cultivate medicinal plants. These investments in supplier community well-being provide food and water security, access to health care, education and training, economic development, and gender equality.

As Rosemary has a continued commitment to herbal education, Drake remains passionate about environmental stewardship and social equity. Forever kindred spirits, their founding values are infused into the core principles of the company and serve as a model for responsible business.

This daily detox tea was inspired by Traditional Chinese healers who have used schisandra berries for over 2,000 years to support the body’s natural detoxification processes.* To create this EveryDay Detox tea, we source berries from wild-collection villages surrounding a giant panda sanctuary in China’s Minshan Mountains, where we’re helping protect half the world’s panda population. Not only is this schisandra berry detox tea good for your body, but it’s good for the planet too.

Herbs That Work

From field to cup, we make sure our teas deliver the benefits of these amazing plants. To deliver consistent high quality teas, we source organically farmed or organically wild-collected herbs from ethical trading partnerships, seeking out medicinal-grade plants. Only a small fraction of the world’s herb supply meets our high quality standards.

Tea Pigs Detox Cleanse Drink

0203 141 8495

Our Tea

We make a big thing using quality, real tea. By real tea, we mean BIG, whole tea leaves, whole herbs, whole berries, whole spices, whole flowers …you get the picture. It’s all about the flavour. The tea in regular tea bags has been squashed, chopped and manhandled so, by the time it reaches your cup, almost all the flavour is lost. We don’t think that’s very nice.

Sustainability & Environment

We’ve always tried to do the right thing, from having plant-based tea temples, giving back to tea growing communities through our ethical scheme and striving to make teapigs HQ a great place to work.  

As a business, we have a responsibility to use our platform and product as a source of good, which is why we were so passionate about becoming a certified B Corporation.

Read on to discover more about our packaging and green credentials…

All Tea

Here’s every type of tea we sell on one handy page for you. If you click through to each flavour that tickles your fancy, you then choose whether you want a big box, a small box, a teeny-tiny two-bag sample, or a hefty bag of loose-leaf goodness. Happy shopping!

 

Goddess Blends Detox Cleanse Drink

1300 021 601

We believe that everyone should have access to healthy food. REAL healthy food. Our nutritionist owner is adamant that as many nutrients as possible must be retained for our customers. We therefore cold press all of our juices and put all of our juices, soups and smoothies through high pressure pasteurisation (HPP), a cold water process that applies a tonne of pressure to the products in the bottles which kills the microbes that cause fermentation. We choose to buck the current trend of heat pasteurisation as it kills all heat sensitive nutrients including vitamin C and all B vitamins. We also refuse to add preservatives or any artificial colours or flavours, instead believing that delicious products can be created using natural herbs and spices.

Cleansing

Cleansing can be done on it’s own to keep your body healthy by flooding it with nutrients, giving your digestive system a rest, or releasing pent-up bowel matter and toxins. Or it can be used as the initial kick start phase towards a healthy lifestyle and weight loss. 

The Goddess Cleanses complements your body’s own detoxifying process and allows your body to do its business more efficiently and effectively.  We use juices, blended soups and salads as a way of maximising the naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and enzymes and using them in large doses to help cleanse and renew. 

Juice and blended soups require very little effort to digest.  This means they are quickly and easily absorbed into your body so you can efficiently get the most from them!  6kgs of fruit and vegetables every day can be nothing but good for you, right?

There are many different reasons why people choose to do a cleanse.  Every one of us are subject to a number of chemicals and toxins in our lifestyles, PLUS we are also subject to indulgences in our day to day world!  A good cleanse is a chance for your body to have a break from constant exposure to chemicals, toxins and overall naughties from your food and drink.

Suja Juice – Detox Cleanse Drink  

8558797852

Suja, meaning long, beautiful life, embodies the promise that flows from the cold-pressed beverages it delivers in each and every bottle. Suja’s story began in 2012 from a shared dream to help people everywhere transform their lives through conscious nutrition.

Responding to a lack of clean, nutritious, and convenient beverages available, Suja’s founders crafted a line of organic cold-pressed juices as a convenient way to live a plant-powered lifestyle.

What started as delivering cold-pressed juice on a skateboard around San Diego, has grown to a range of nationally-available, high quality, organic and functional beverages, including our slow brewed kombucha and functional shots.

Today, we carry on our founders’ mission to get the best quality organic and non-GMO beverages into as many hands as possible. Through the large-scale use of local, organic fruits and vegetables, and implementation of a breakthrough displacement technology called High Pressure Processing (HPP), Suja Juice has become the nation’s leading organic and cold-pressed juice brand.

So What Is HPP?

Cold Pressure or High Pressure Processing is a method of preserving packaged food products using extremely high pressure instead of high heat. Hydraulic fluid (normally water) is placed in a chamber and pressurised with a pump. This pressure is transmitted through the package into the food itself.

This process extends the shelf life without the use of preservatives and helps to maintain the nutrients in our organic cold-pressed juices and functional beverages.

 

Frequently Asked Question About Detox Cleanse Drink

How Do I Know If I Need To Detox?

Put simply, you need to detox when your body is overloaded with toxins. These toxins present differently in everybody but some common signs include bad skin, having problems with weight and constantly lacking energy. 

Our bodies actually detoxify naturally, but after constant exposure to toxins, the process can become compromised and our body can struggle to cleanse our organs and tissues properly. Eating a diet that incorporates a lot of meat, dairy and processed or fatty foods can clog the system. Regardless of your diet choices, the state of your detoxification mechanisms and your exposure to toxins (not just food, but chemicals too), just about everyone can benefit from the occasional detox. Think of it as a way to reboot your system, giving your body a fresh start.

What Exactly Does A Detox Involve?

Detoxes vary a lot and depend on the individual, their goals and level of health. Generally they involve a combination of natural health products, dietary improvements and lifestyle changes. Detoxes are designed to encourage the removal of toxins from your body, improving your liver function and overall well-being.

Do I Have To Eat Differently During A Detox?

Most of the time, a change in diet is necessary, but it depends on your usual diet and the detox programme you’ve chosen. It’s best to eat foods that can be digested easily, and of course natural, wholesome food is always preferred. Steamed or raw vegetables, chicken, fish, soups and broths are all good options. Try to eat what’s in season too, as this will ensure you’re getting the appropriate nutrients for your body. At the end of the day, it really comes down to what works for you. While some people can survive quite happily on raw salads and grains, others need more variety. 

Will I Lose Weight By Doing A Cleanse Or Detox?

Often people will lose weight while detoxing, particularly around their face and stomach, but it’s important to remember that the purpose of a detox is to cleanse your organs, not to shed kilograms. With that said, doing a cleanse before you start a weight loss programme is a great way to condition your body for the journey. 

The weight loss usually happens because you start to retain less water. Water retention can occur as a result of sugar consumption, food intolerances and excess carbs. Cutting these out of your diet also improves bloating.

How Will I Know If The Detox Is Working?

Everybody is different and the effects of a detox vary. A cleanse works by releasing the toxins and as they work their way out of your body, they can cause a variety of side-effects along the way. It is quite normal to feel worse before you feel better. Sometimes people experience headaches, fatigue, nausea and even flu-like symptoms. Others experience bad skin, stronger smelling sweat and urine or a coating on their tongue that causes bad breath. While these kinds of symptoms are all signs that your body is detoxifying, they can be quite overwhelming, even if they are temporary. If they continue, you should consult your healthcare professional. 

When Is The Best Time To Start A Detox?

Spring is a really nice time of year for a little internal cleaning. A change in season in general is a great time to do a detox. It’s during these times that our body’s requirements change, so doing a week or month-long detox can give you a boost of energy right when you need it. Otherwise, it’s always a good idea to do a detox after a time of consistent overindulgence. 

On the flip side, there are times where detoxing is not a good idea. Doing a cleanse while you’re pregnant, stressed, sick or still recovering is not recommended.
