Effortless detox for the New Year

With the New Year yet to ring in, the nation’s thoughts turn to getting fit and healthy following the excesses of Christmas and the party season. However the commitment to exercise as well as eating properly is quite an undertaking, and isn’t always possible for those people who are short on time (or willpower!).

For January, the famous Harrods Food Halls, have come up with a number of easy ways to cleanse the body and prepare for the year ahead:

Detox sorbet
Developed between Morellis Gelato and Farmacia Urban Healing, this new sorbet will be available throughout January from Morellis Gelato on the ground floor. Using a detox formula from Farmacia’s new Oh Bar range, this delicious dessert is packed full of goodness, including Burdock root, sheep sorrel, slippery elm, watercress, turkey rhubarb, kelp, red clover, milk thistle and aloe vera, and is designed to help with the skin, digestive system and liver.

Available to order for takeaway (£13.75/ litre) or as a delicious sundae for £6.99. Morellis, Ground Floor.

Detox pads
We absorb toxins everyday – through food, drink and pollution. A toxin build-up can upset the body’s natural balance and lead to problems with digestion and metabolism. This in turn can lead to tiredness and weight gain. The Farmacia detox pads are designed to be worn while you sleep, and harness powerful natural ingredients (including wood vinegar, bamboo vinegar, agaricus mushroom and bladderwrack) and use the principles of foot reflexology to rid your body of these damaging toxins.

Available from Farmacia on the Lower Ground Floor. £18.95

Vitscan
Available from Farmacia, this complimentary electrodermal vitamin scan gathers information about the functional health of the body, and highlights deficiencies that can be combated with vitamins or additional nutritional supplements.

OH Bar
This new bar is a completely new approach: drinkable skincare. Using superfood juices, customers can choose from a range of base fruit juices, then add their desired vitamin shots for an added boost. All the juices used are high in natural antioxidants, have a high proportion of vitamins and minerals and have no added sugar, preservatives or artificical colours. Featured juices include Noni (good for boosting energy levels and mental clarity), Goji (good for boosting immune health and strengthening bones and muscles), Acai (Increases energy levels), Aloe vera (good for moisturising and conditioning the skin) and Pomegranate juice (helps to maintain a healthy heart and has a high vitamin content).

Available from Farmacia on the Lower Ground Floor. Juices and smoothies start from £3.95.
