In Ayurveda, CCF means Coriander seeds, cumin seeds and fennel seeds and when you boil these seeds in water, the outcome we get is a classic "Detox Tea".
According to Ayurveda and more recent western research, "Good Digestion" and a "Healthy Gut" plays a critical role in the body’s wellbeing and its optimal functioning.
Each of these seeds has its own medicinal value and taken together, this "cocktail" does wonders for your mind and body. It can also be blended with other herbs and whole spices that help flush out toxins from your body and restore your liver and digestive track. Sip this concoction all day and you will really feel the difference.
