Winter is a time of hibernation, time for resting and fasting. All of these are essentially cleansing and detoxifying activities at some level. Even simple, nutrient-rich winter soups can be looked at as a form of detoxification because they provide hydration, fiber, vitamins and minerals that support the body's natural systems in eliminating waste, acting as a gentle reset.
Finding ways to incorporate a Winter Detox into your hectic life is so essential. It involves a focus on replenishing nutrients, replacing stress with rest, recovery and relaxation, as well as ridding the body of toxins.

Because the colder weather naturally invites a more sedentary lifestyle and the consumption of heavier, calorie-dense comfort foods during the holidays, a Winter Detox is a natural countermove against these seasonal challenges = and they can certainly be challenges.
Just as nature has cycles of rest and renewal, the human body also needs time to reset. The darker, quieter, slower winter months are designed by nature to be a time to focus on rest and rejuvenation, renewal and cleansing. By flushing out waste and replenishing nutrients – replacing calorie-dense with a focus on nutrient-dense – your Winter Detox can help boost your immune system during the peak cold and flu season.
Because hormones shift and your metabolism naturally slows down in winter, a Winter Detox aligns with the seasonal changes, helping to rebalance hormones, improve the winter blues that can come with the changes in daylight, and manage weight that often accumulates in winter. Fewer daylight hours mean the body naturally produces more melatonin, a hormone that can play a significant role in nighttime detoxification and repair processes, offering a biological advantage for cleansing during this season.
At One Agora Integrative Health, detoxification has always been a priority for us in helping heal what ails you – so it’s become an art form to us. We’ve spent decades learning and applying what works best.
Three of our therapies are all especially helpful in detoxing the body. They include:
When you’re aiming for nutrient-dense instead of calorie-dense, what’s better than an IV drip? You can replenish the nutrients you need without calories that normally come with them and help feed your immune system. Many nutrients are also natural detox agents. We offer an extensive array of IV Therapy options – from the now famous Myers’ Cocktail to customized nutrient cocktails designed for your individual health needs.
Also known as our “Detoxification Pod,” Infrared Sauna is a type of sauna that uses infrared light to heat your body directly, rather than heating the air around you, as a traditional sauna does. It uses infrared lamps to emit radiant heat absorbed by your skin. These saunas bring a range of benefits, including whole-body detoxification, relaxation, healing and so much more!
Ionic Foot Bath Therapy – also known as the Ionic Foot Detox - is a simple yet powerful healing protocol that can improve whole body detox, overall cardiovascular health, aid weight loss, reduce pain and inflammation, manage stress, build immunity and improve sleep.
All of nature embraces winter as a natural season of renewal. Our bare winter gardens teach us that rest is not simply emptiness – but is rather the work of preparation for what lies ahead.
Crafting a gentler, seasonally aligned approach for your Winter Detox is key. Winter is no time for harsh detoxification methods that are hard on your body or mind. Focusing on increased hydration, nourishing warm foods, gentle movement like yoga, stress reduction efforts, more and better sleep, all will help to heal and renew.
Supporting natural detoxification pathways with herbal solutions can reset your immune system. Incorporating sessions in our detoxification pod, slipping your feet into our Ionic Foot Bath, replenishing nutrients with IV Drips and resetting habits before spring, these are all key in supporting your body's winter rhythms rather than fighting them with extreme measures.
Think of winter as your time for nurturing, healing, resting, and letting go of everything that no longer serves you or is not good for you, all in preparation for the resurrection and celebration of life that always comes with the return of spring.
