The Beauty Blog | Reset for spring with The Organic Pharmacy

Whether it’s juicing, fasting or sweating it out in an infrared sauna, detoxing is all the rage these days. And whether or not you believe you can actually banish all of the bad things that have been building up in your system over the years, there’s a lot to be said for taking some time out to nurture and nourish your body. And that’s where The Organic Pharmacy’s 10 Day Detox Kit comes in.

The supplement and lifestyle system was developed by brand founder Margo Marrone to treat symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, digestive problems, and dull hair and skin. It comes with four supplements (Detox, Superantioxidants, Phytonutrients & MSM and Essential Fatty Acid & B Complex) and a guide with exercise tips and a 10-day healthy eating menu.

Marrone advises starting each day with a glass of hot water with the juice of half a lemon, followed by three Detox capsules and a full glass of water. After dry brushing and a shower, have a healthy breakfast or smoothie with two capsules each of Superantioxidants, Phytonutrients & MSM and Essential Fatty Acid & B Complex. Before bed, take three more Detox capsules with a full glass of water.

It’s a simple and gentle system to follow, although I’m sure it would be far more effective had I followed the prescribed diet. Still, I noticed after a few days that I felt less bloated and my energy levels were more stable throughout the day. I even looked forward to my morning cup of lemon water, and appreciated the fact that I was paying more attention to my body and lifestyle choices. In a busy and polluted city like Hong Kong, that’s perhaps the best detox of all.
