Some herbal teas are taken for their diuretic properties (i.e. Tending to increase the discharge of urine). Examples include dandelion (recommended that pregnant women NOT use), pandanus leaf, Phyllanthus Amarus, cat's whisker.
Most herbal teas are not diuretics, i.e. they will not affect the body differently than a cup of hot water.

BlakeIt is commonly believe that both tea and coffee are diuretics, because of their caffeine content. However, recent studies show that caffeine is no more diuretic than water when consumed in moderation. The exact amount needed to act as a mild diuretic varies, but would be some around 5-7 cups of coffee - with regular drinkers developing a higher tolerance.
Only if consumed in massive quantities - the amount of regular coffee needed to act more diuretic than water is 5 cups. So decaffeinated coffee would be at 50 or more cups, so in practcal terms the answer is no.
Tea is a very mild diuretic due to it's caffeine content (it's less of a diruretic than coffee). Using tea as a diuretic is not a substitute for medically prescribed diuretics (such as Frusomide), because the effect of tea is far weaker.
Tea of any type is a diuretic, though many are mild diuretics. The diuretic found in tea is caffeine, so the stronger diuretic properties are removed when caffeine is removed.
Yes, all types of tea are diuretic as they contain 42 to 72 mg of caffeine per cup.

Is decaf tea acidic?
Decaf tea is generally less acidic compared to regular tea because some of the caffeine has been removed during the decaffeination process. However, decaf tea can still contain natural acids present in tea leaves, such as tannins, which can contribute to its overall acidity. If you have concerns about acidity, herbal teas like chamomile or peppermint may be a better option.
