Slice up some citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, grapefruit etc) and put it all in a large jug together with all or any of the following:

ginger root cut up

garlic chopped up

whisky or brandy or any other tipple you prefer

a generous portion of honey

You could also add herbs and spices, as the fancy takes you, and then pour boiling water over the lot, brew as a tea, and drink as much as you can as hot as you can manage until you feel better. You can top up the pot with fresh boiling water until the ingredients are exhausted, and then you need to chop up a few more ingredients and start again!

This wonderful elixir will really pick you up whenever you feel unwell. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Wonderful Garlic

This herb is the number one item on my list of the finest foods for detoxification. Garlic is a great cleanser and sterilizer of the digestive tract, creating a harmonious environment within it. It's cleansing, cooling and soothing. Nasty fats and cholesterol deposits are removed, the liver is cleaned and encouraged to health and settles the other digestive organs. Garlic also cleans out the arteries, improves the skin, one's overall health and balance of the mind.

It is recommended that you eat at least one whole clove a day! Do not cook the garlic as this destroys its benefits and never fry it with the onions. If you want to add garlic to cooked food, add the garlic at the end of the cooking time to get the full effect.

For those of you worried about the pungent aroma coming off your skin when you eat garlic, well this just proves how much you need to detox! Indeed it is the indicator of how much you need to detox. Keep at it, a clove a day and you will notice how quickly this smell disappears, proving quite nicely how effective garlic is in detoxing your body and dissolving all those unwanted fats and cholesterols!
