10 Natural Diuretics
Diuretic #10: Tea
The tea plant originated from China where it has been used to make the beverage for thousands of years. Since then, it has been exported to the rest of the world where it has become one of the most popular beverages around. Not only is it delicious and able to give us a boost, but it is also an effective diuretic.
Tea’s diuretic properties are largely down to its caffeine content. Green and black tea are thought to be the most effective, and studies in rats have shown that it is able to encourage urine production. However, it can be less effective when you drink it regularly.
