Marijuana, or cannabis, is a plant that is grown worldwide and is illegal in most countries. The nature of cannabis is not physically addicting, yet cannabis can create a strong habitual or psychological addiction, which may require medial supervision. For less than 10 percent of marijuana users, detoxifying from the substance can be done from home without medical assistance. The use of herbs and other natural substances are effective measures to rid cannaboids from the body.

    Milk Thistle Tea

  1. This herbal compound protects various cells within the body by preventing free radicals and toxins from accumulating. Within the liver, where many cannaboids reside, milk thistle increases overall production of bile and boosts cell regeneration. By altering cell membranes and strengthening cells, milk thistle creates a barrier that makes toxin accumulation difficult to achieve.

    Mix two teaspoons of dried milk thistle, which can be purchased from an herbal shop, with eight ounces of boiling water. Simmer the ingredients for 10 minutes before covering and allowing it to steep for 15 minutes. Drain the milk thistle from the tea, and sweeten with one tablespoon of natural agave nectar. Drink once every other day to safely remove toxins from the body.
  2. Goldenrod Iced Tea

  3. Goldenrod is an effective herb that treats the digestive and urinary systems. It is commonly found in the Americas as well as in Europe, and its properties are regularly used to treat kidney stones, urinary tract infections as well as for ridding toxins from the body.

    To make a goldenrod tea, start by bringing eight ounces of water to a roiling boil. Pour the boiling water into a non-metal container; plastic or glass is ideal. Mix 10 tablespoons of dried goldenrod herb. Cover the lid of the container and allow the herbs to steep for five to seven minutes. Strain the herbs out of the tea, and pour into a pitcher. Add two cups of ice to the pitcher and stir. To sweeten, add six tablespoons of natural agave nectar and sample for taste. Consume two to three cups of the goldenrod tea per day throughout the detoxifying process.
  4. Flax Seed Oil

  5. Flax seeds are just that, seeds from the flax plant, which is grown specifically for its seeds. Flax seeds contain high omega-3 fatty acids, which help in preventing cancers as well as aiding the body in the flushing process.

    To consume the proper amount of flax seed, purchase flax seed oil from a health food store. Mix one tablespoon of flax seed oil with one cup of any type of juice, such as orange juice or grapefruit juice. Consume this mixture once per day for its maximum benefits. There are no side effects when taken properly, and it is safe for individuals who have health problems.
