After the indulgence of the festive season, January offers the perfect opportunity to give your body a much-needed reset. The rich foods, indulgent treats, and celebratory drinks enjoyed during the holidays may have brought joy to your taste buds but likely placed additional stress on your liver and digestive system. This can leave you feeling sluggish, bloated, and out of sync.
A gentle detox is a simple yet powerful way to lighten this burden and restore balance. Here’s how it can benefit your body:
- Support your liver: Your liver is your body’s natural detox powerhouse. A detox helps reduce its workload, allowing it to function more efficiently.
- Improve digestion and reduce bloating: Clearing out accumulated toxins can soothe your digestive system and alleviate uncomfortable bloating.
- Boost energy levels: When your body is working optimally, you’ll feel more energised and ready to take on the day.
- Restore gut health: A balanced microbiome is key to overall wellness. A detox helps promote harmony in your gut flora.
Kickstart your detox with our 5-day Charcoal cleanse
Activated charcoal is a highly effective supplement in the detox process. Its unique ability to bind to toxins in the gut allows it to safely and gently remove unwanted substances from your system. It also soothes bloating and discomfort, leaving you feeling lighter and more comfortable.

Many years ago, when I had recently qualified in colon hydrotherapy, I attended a workshop in London where a renowned American medical herbalist shared her insights into gut health. She demonstrated how to examine a person’s tongue to assess digestive health, introduced the practice of tongue scraping, and highlighted the incredible benefits of activated charcoal powder.
Inspired by her teachings, I began recommending activated charcoal cleanses to my clients. The results were transformative – they reported reductions in bloating, relief from trapped gas, and even better recovery after gut infections like food poisoning, helping reduce the risk of developing IBS. This inspired me to delve deeper into the physics of how charcoal binds to toxins, including spoiled food, chemicals, and intestinal gases.
When I developed the Just For Tummies range, our activated Charcoal capsules became a cornerstone, alongside our Live Bacteria probiotic capsules and Digestive Enzymes tablets.
We recommend carrying out our 5-day Charcoal cleanse seasonally for optimal benefits. If you haven’t yet completed your winter cleanse, now is the perfect time to start. Curious about how it all works? You can find the instructions along with lots of other helpful information in our Activated Charcoal Fact Sheet here – designed to help you welcome this new year with a refreshed and balanced body.
