Tell-tale signs are feelings of sluggishness or lethargy - less get-up-and go! Our complexion often loses its appearance of vitality, freshness and radiance, and becomes lacklustre, with spots or dry patches, showing that the body is out of balance. This is particularly common after a period of excess (such as Christmas), added to an unbalanced diet and insufficient sleep.Many people try a radical annual post-Christmas detox, but consider a more regular bi-annual detox at the change of season – spring into summer, and summer into autumn. This helps promote and maintain inner wellbeing and is less demanding on the body than a major annual overhaul. To detox at the point where summer turns to winter is the hardest, and needs more determination, but will pay dividends.
