Overview
- Hydrate with water, lemon water, coconut water or chaas to counter salt- and sugar-driven dehydration and ease bloating, doctors say.
- Switch to light, home-cooked meals such as khichdi, vegetable soups, dal–rice and curd, and add probiotics like buttermilk or kanji to restore gut balance.
- Skip crash diets and paid “detox” drinks, as experts note the liver and kidneys handle detoxification when supported by fluids, simple food and rest.
- For colour exposure, dermatologists recommend soap-free cleansers, ceramide- or cholesterol-based moisturisers and mild hair oiling, and they warn against abrasive home remedies.
- Seek medical care for red flags such as severe abdominal pain, continuous vomiting, persistent burning or prolonged loose motions.
