Sažetak
Detoxification is considered to be a metabolic process in which toxic substances in the body are converted into less toxic ones. According to the purpose, detoxification can be divided into therapeutic, cosmetic and preventive. More recently, consumers have developed an awareness of the effectiveness of different plant species for treating many diseases. Most teas from medicinal and aromatic herbs are prepared as a scald or infusion. In this paper, the main biological, chemical and medicinal characteristics of selected species of aromatic and medicinal herbs that can be used as tea for detoxification of the organism (parsley, yarrow, dandelion, peppermint, rosemary, sage, rosehip, common nettle) are described through the theoretical part. The aim of the survey was to examine the behavior, perceptions and knowledge of respondents about teas of selected species of aromatic and medicinal herbs for detoxification of the body. The survey was conducted during the second half of 2020. on a sample of 50 respondents. The results of the survey shows that most respondents very often consume peppermint, rosehip and sage teas. The same situation was found in the case when it comes to the use of teas exclusively for the purpose of detoxifying the body. And in terms of the general impression (color, smell, taste), respondents prefer more classic-commercial types of teas (rosehip, peppermint and sage). Also, respondents know moch about the biological, chemical and medicinal characteristics of the above species.
