10 Essentials to Guide You on Your Low-Tox Wellness Journey

So, you’ve recently discovered just how toxic the world can be—pesticides in food, GMOs everywhere, chemicals in everyday products—and now you want to take control of your health. First of all, take a deep breath.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you start learning about these things, but the best thing you can do for your health is not to stress. Stress is just as damaging as any toxin, and trying to change everything at once can leave you feeling exhausted and discouraged. The key? Take it one step at a time.

Maybe your first goal is to invest in a quality water purifier. That might take a couple of months of saving, and that’s okay. Six months down the line, you might decide to get an air purifier, maybe even paying in monthly instalments. There are also small changes you can start today that make a big difference over time.

Knowledge is powerful, but it can also feel heavy—so remind yourself that you’re doing your best. Focus on progress, not perfection. To help you get started, here are 10 essentials I’d recommend for your wellness journey.

1. AquaTru Water Purifier – Clean Water, Minus the Nasties

Water is the foundation of health, but tap water can contain chlorine, fluoride, heavy metals, and other contaminants. The AquaTru water purifier uses reverse osmosis to remove these impurities, giving you pure, clean drinking water without the toxins.

Why is this important? Because staying hydrated with clean water helps your body detox naturally, supports digestion, and keeps your energy levels up.

2. Celtic Sea Salt & Sole Water – Remineralise & Recharge

Once you purify your water, you’ll also need to remineralise it. Reverse osmosis removes everything—including beneficial minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium.

A pinch of Celtic sea salt in your water helps replenish these essential minerals, supporting hydration, electrolyte balance, and overall health. Here’s a link to the brand I use.

Want to take it up a notch? Sole water is an easy, highly absorbable way to get a daily mineral boost. Simply dissolve Celtic sea salt in a jar of filtered water, let it sit overnight, and add a teaspoon to a glass of water each morning.

3. Quinton Hypertonic – The Ultimate Mineral Boost

If you want to take hydration to the next level, Quinton Hypertonic is a great addition. Packed with bioavailable minerals and electrolytes, it helps:

✅ Restore essential nutrients
✅ Support energy levels
✅ Improve cellular function
✅ Aid recovery from stress and fatigue

My preference is to drink it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. It’s especially useful if you’ve been feeling run down, travelling, or adjusting to a new wellness routine.

4. Dandelion Root Tea – Gentle Liver Support & Coffee Alternative

Your liver works hard to detoxify your body, and modern life doesn’t make it easy. Dandelion root tea is a gentle yet effective way to support liver function, aid digestion, and promote overall detoxification.

It’s also naturally caffeine-free, making it a great alternative to coffee if you’re looking to cut back. You can also try this coffee alternative—dandelion root in place of your morning coffee. It has a rich, roasted flavour without the jitters.

5. A.Vogel’s Echinacea Tincture – My Go-To for When I Feel Rough

Whenever I start feeling under the weather, A.Vogel’s Echinacea tincture is the first thing I reach for. It’s a natural immune booster that helps fight off colds before they fully take hold.

You can mix it with water or take 15 drops under your tongue for faster absorption.

6. Immunia Elderberry Concentrate – For When a Cold Actually Hits

If a cold does sneak through, Immunia Elderberry Concentrate is a must. Packed with antioxidants and vitamin C, elderberries help shorten the duration of colds and flu while providing natural immune support.

You can take it as a syrup, add it to warm drinks, or even mix it into smoothies. It’s a great staple to have on hand for cold and flu season.

7. Castor Oil Packs – Detox & Digestive Support

A castor oil pack is one of the simplest yet most powerful wellness tools. Applying castor oil to your abdomen and using a castor oil pack can help:

✔ Support liver detoxification
✔ Improve digestion
✔ Reduce bloating
✔ Promote relaxation

It’s an easy ritual to incorporate into your routine—just apply, relax, and let it do its thing.

The one I currently use isn’t the best—it’s probably time for an upgrade! Here’s one I found online that looks really good, along with the brand of castor oil I use.

8. Red Light Therapy – Boost Your Energy & Skin Health

If you live somewhere with long, dark winters (hello, UK!), getting enough natural light can be a challenge. A red light therapy lamp can help support:

☀ Skin health – Boosts collagen production and helps with inflammation.
☀ Energy levels – Supports mitochondrial function, which is essential for vitality.
☀ Overall well-being – A great option for those darker months when natural light exposure is limited.

I use the Nebula 300W Infrared Lamp & Red Light Panel for targeted therapy. If you’re looking for full-body therapy and are open to a higher investment, the Nebula LED Red Light Therapy Device 600W or 1000W may be better options.

9. Dyson Air Purifier – Clean Air, All Year Round

Having clean air is just as important as clean water. The Dyson air purifier is my go-to for a breath of fresh air. Not only does it remove airborne particles, allergens, and pollutants, but it also doubles as a hot and cool fan, making it perfect for year-round use.

10. Amber Blue Light Blockers – Protect Your Sleep

If you’re struggling with sleep or late-night screen use, amber blue light blocking glasses are a game changer. Exposure to blue light after dark can interfere with your body’s production of melatonin, making it harder to fall asleep.

Wearing amber-tinted blue light blockers in the evening helps protect your sleep quality, reduce eye strain, and support your circadian rhythm. Perfect for those long hours spent in front of screens!

If, like me, you wear prescription glasses, these clip-on ones are for you.

Final Thoughts

Your wellness journey doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Start with one change, then build from there. Maybe it’s upgrading your water, adding a daily herbal tea, or simply getting outside more.

And remember—stress is just as toxic as anything you’re trying to avoid. So, take it slow, do what you can, and celebrate every small step towards a healthier life.
