Can You Survive Without Chai? Here’s What a 30-Day Tea Detox Does to Your Mind and Body

The first week after quitting tea…

If you drink tea daily, the first few days without it will feel really tough. Your body is used to the caffeine in tea. When you suddenly stop, you might get headaches, feel tired, find it hard to concentrate, and become irritable. Doctors call this ‘caffeine withdrawal’. But don’t panic and go back to tea! If you can hold on for a week, all these symptoms will slowly disappear. By the second week, you’ll notice other changes. Many people drink tea on an empty stomach, which can cause acidity and heartburn. Once you stop drinking tea, your digestion will improve. You’ll feel less bloated, and your stomach will feel much more comfortable.
