Clean Up Your Act

Feeling the effects of all those late night holiday parties? The simplest way to treat your overindulgence in food and drink may be as easy as taking your vitamins.

Created by Margo Marrone, the British homeopath and founder of The Organic Pharmacy, the Detox is a 10-day program full of daily supplements and nutrients that improves digestion, encourages weight loss and increases energy.  Bonus benefits include glowing skin and hair.

The full Detox Kit ($280) includes their popular Detox Colon Cleanse & Gut Repair Caps, Superantioxidants, Phytonutrients, Liver & Kidney Drops, Essential Fatty Acids and Detox Cellulite Body Oil (which can be used with a brush to aid in the release of toxins while improving circulation).

Unlike the Master Cleanse which prohibits food of any kind, Marrone’s detox is easy to maintain and allows a healthy diet of grilled proteins, fresh fruit, vegetables and even a piece or two of organic chocolate. Simply cut out all alcohol, caffeine, saturated fat and processed foods for 10 days while taking morning and evening doses of Marrone’s supplements with a full glass of water mixed with 15 drops of her Liver and Kidney tincture.

On keeping our New Year’s resolutions, Marrone says, “Don’t look at eating healthy and taking the right supplements as a trend or fad diet. Integrating these elements into your daily lifestyle will ensure that you stick to the program with the benefit of long lasting health and wellness.”

While celebrity devotees including Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow can visit The Organic Pharmacy in London in person for one-on-one consultations and full body treatments, those of us on the other side of the pond will have to settle for the detox do-it-yourself version available online at www.theorganicpharmacy.com or at the New London Pharmacy (246 Eighth Street, 212-243-4987).
