Low-tox wellness journey—it’s a phrase you’ve probably come across while trying to clean up your health and environment. Maybe you’ve just discovered how toxic the world can be: pesticides in your food, GMOs in places you’d never expect, synthetic chemicals in your skincare and cleaning products. Suddenly, everything feels like a threat.
First of all, take a deep breath.
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you first start digging into these things. However, there’s something important to remember: stress is just as damaging as any toxin. Trying to change everything at once can leave you burnt out, frustrated and ready to give up before you’ve even started. The real key? Take things one step at a time.
Maybe your starting point is something simple, like investing in a good water purifier. That might take a bit of planning or saving and that’s perfectly okay. Six months from now, you might upgrade your air quality or switch out your cookware. These shifts take time and they should.
Knowledge is powerful, but it can also be heavy. So be gentle with yourself. Progress matters more than perfection. To help you feel grounded and empowered, here are 10 essentials I recommend for anyone beginning their low-tox wellness journey.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
