Water is one of our most basic needs, and is essential to our survival. However, many people underestimate their need for this vital liquid, thus depriving themselves of a natural detoxifier.

2 liters water
1/4 teaspoon Marshmallow root
2 pinches Indian ipecac
2 basil leaves
1 clove
1 black peppercorn
