Seasonal Ingredients for Detox

Seasonal ingredients can amplify your detox game. During winter, ingredients like amla, beetroot, carrots, spinach, black carrots, and fresh turmeric are perfect for detox. They’re warming and packed with nutrients that support your body during the cold months.

In summer, turn to hydrating ingredients like cucumber, watermelon, mint, bottle gourd (lauki), and aloe vera. These keep you cool while flushing out toxins.
