This is not to say we should ignore the sluggishness that follows a season of festive excess. Alcohol and rich foods can leave the system feeling heavy, but rather than a harsh purge, Landon advocates for a softer approach. During these darker months, the focus shifts toward gentle fortification: supporting liver and kidney health, encouraging the lymphatic system, and bolstering immunity when it is most vulnerable.

To allow the body the grace it requires, the Wilder winter rituals prioritise warmth and mineral-rich nourishment. This begins in the kitchen, moving away from raw, cooling foods in favour of grounding, seasonal produce. Earthy root vegetables, sulphur-rich brassicas, and winter greens provide the essential minerals needed for cellular repair. Hydration, too, should be intentional; swapping ice-cold water for warm herbal infusions "potenised" with antioxidant-rich tinctures provides a targeted, functional support system that warms the body from the inside out.

Wilder Botanics' tinctures use a blend of carefully chosen herbs for synergistic potency. They’re a simple way of administering the healing properties of herbs to nourish and rebalance specific organs and in turn the whole body system. Take by droppers - full and diluted in water, juice or even one of Wilder Botanics herbal teas.

If you are looking for a sign to begin a deeper cleanse, Landon suggests looking toward the hedgerows rather than the calendar. The true "detox" season only begins in March, when nature provides its own vibrant remedies. It is only then that we see the arrival of juicy chickweed, young nettle tops, and dandelion leaves - botanicals specifically designed by the earth to support our eliminative organs, from the gut to the liver.

Until those first greens emerge, the message from Wilder Botanics is clear: be kind to your system. Stay hydrated, stay warm, and give yourself the grace to remain in "winter mode" a little longer.

This year, let January be a month for self-care, not sacrifice.
