If you’ve been over-doing it on the mulled wine and mince pies this festive season, and your bloated belly is looking more santa than six-pack, we have just the solution. We’ve hunted out the latest detoxing aids on the market to help you flush out those toxins, give you a new lease of energy and boost your immune system.

1. Champneys Detox & Cleanse Supplement contains a specially selected blend of nutrients to support the body’s cleansing and detoxification process. The liver is the main organ in the body responsible for detoxification, so the Champneys supplements provide all the nutrients the liver needs to eliminate nasties from the body. Containing riboflavin, methionine, biotin, beta sitosterol, choline and inositol, it certainly beats a dose of cod liver oil to get your body feeling back on track.

2. Zap pesky free radicals this New Year with a delicious, antioxidant-packed bottle of Naked Juice smoothie. Just landed from the US, each 450ml bottle of this yum smoothie contains bundles of fruit and veggies, providing a huge hit of vitamins A, C and E. They’re also jam-packed with health-boosting antioxidants, which fight off the free radicals that damage the body and promote disease. We love the Green Machine with broccoli, spinach, bluegreen algae, spirulina seaweed, wheatgrass and echinacea – it may sound horrid, but actually tastes great and gives you a much-needed energy boost on a cold January morning.

The kit contains detox foot patches containing tourmaline which create negative ions that calm the mind. Simply pop them on the soles of your feet overnight and the slight warming effect draws out toxins and impurities. The Detox and Spa Set also contains green tea confetti leaves for the bath and cosy reflexology slippers which can help you to detoxify and relax. A proper pampering treat!

4. When you’re feeling bloated, it’s hard to work out if it’s excess weight or excess water forcing up the numbers on the scales. Aquaflow from HealthAid is a new natural supplement that works with your body to maintain your optimum water balance. Using an original herbal combination first used in ancient Europe, the herbal extracts provide detoxifying and cleansing properties, working to neutralise and remove toxins and excess water from the body.

5. Leayah Beauty Tea is a pure, premium tea and a modern beauty beverage. Each of the six aromatic blends contains a special blend of ingredients to tackle any complaint, from Nighty Night with lemongrass and chamomile to aid sleep, to Fresh Faced – an Arabian mint tea that provides you with added zing in the morning. A cup a day of Leayah’s tea will leave you with a good daily dosage of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals – not to mention a thoroughly tasty brew! We love the skinny mini pu-erh tea; it might taste full bodied but it makes you feel just the opposite after having a mug.

This 7-day intensive detoxification kit contains seven packets of powder containing fibres and tree barks to cleanse the whole of the gut.

The Anti-Toxin 7 kit also contains tablets of dandelion, milk thistle and cleansing harbs to detoxify the liver, kidneys and spleen.
