Where can I purchase dried roots of maguey?

Question

A tea is made from the plant. It said to help with detoxification and elminating waste from your liver and kidneys.

Answer 1

I have not been able to find Maguey roots for sale anywhere. You can purchase a live plant for your garden - known as Century Plant. Also the leaf juice is called Agave and is sold in natural food stores as a low-glycemic sweetener. And the roots are brewed into tequilla.

A well-known American alternative is an extract of Milk Thistle Seed with Dandelion Root to detox the liver and speed elimination through the kidneys. Available at any health food store. Be sure to drink lots of water and consume fiber to keep the bowels going while detoxing.
