"dieter's tea", as any kind of diuretic, laxative, or weight loss tea would all be things to avoid.
Small amounts of licorice may be just fine, as can small amounts of rhubarb - this can really depend on the person. It's the harsh herbal laxatives (cascara, senna, aloe) you really need to avoid.
Also, some herbal teas have caffeine - watch out for yerba mate. The labels will usually tell you if a tea has caffeine in it.
