Avocado seeds are often tossed aside, but did you know they’re packed with antioxidants, soluble fiber, and anti-inflammatory compounds? In traditional and herbal medicine, avocado seed tea is used to potentially lower uric acid levels, aid digestion, support joints, and detoxify the body.
Origin & Traditional Use
This remedy originates in Central and South American cultures, where every part of the avocado is valued for its health properties. The seed, especially, is known for its bitterness and astringency, thought to detox the liver and kidneys and help with inflammation.
