Holiday Stress Detox Tips
- Settle Your Stomach
For indigestion, peel and chop a 2,5 cm piece of fresh root ginger and simmer with one tablespoon of fennel seeds for 10 – 15 minutes. Then add a teaspoon of dried peppermint or a peppermint teabag and infuse for 10 minutes. Strain and sip.
- Treat Your Feet
Try detox foot patches. They work by drawing out harmful toxins such as fatty acids, cholesterol, urea, sugars, nicotine and caffeine while you sleep. Apply the patches to the soles of your feet every night for a week and feel refreshed.

Holiday stress detox tips from an acupuncturist – “Try massaging the ‘Hegu’ point in the webbed area between your thumb and first finger. Apply medium pressure for 10 minutes using your right thumb to massage your left hand and vice versa. You can either apply constant pressure or make small anti-clockwise movements.”

- Herbal Relief For Hangovers
“Ayurvedic doctors recommend this to prevent and relieve the symptoms of overindulgence. Blend 600ml grapefruit juice, two teaspoons of lime juice, one teaspoon of ground cumin and drink warm before and after drinking alcohol. Vitamin C helps clear alcohol quickly out of the system, the fruit sugar helps metabolise alcohol faster and the liquid flushes out toxins, while cumin ais digestion and supports the liver.”
Healing Drinks: Juices, Teas, Soups, Smoothies
- Celery For Soothing
Juice a small celery bulb – six or seven sticks – and drink. This will help to balance the acid in your body that has built up as a result of holiday indulgences.
