Dear Readers,

H

appy new year!

Every year begins with a bunch of

resolutions that are more often than not

forgotten when normalcy returns after the season’s

festivities. So, this year, I resolved to start on a clean

slate...literally. On the whole, my regular diet is

pretty healthy, comprising mostly of balanced home-

cooked meals, and I do my best to practice yoga every

day so that my mind and body feel equally healthy.

Nevertheless, there’s nothing quite like giving your

body the cleaning from within that it deserves. Like

several of us, I like to detoxify my body routinely,

whether it’s at home or at a spa or resort.

But, there are several myths associated with the word

‘detox’. And it is to make detox more realistic, relatable

and practical that we bring you ‘The Detox Special’.

Inside, you’ll find something about almost every way in

which you can detox effectively. So, if you’re confidant

and resolute that you’ll be able to do a detox at home,

all you have to do is stick close to Nutritionist Kavita

Devgan’s ‘7-step, 30-day Detox Plan’. There are tips and

tricks and know-how on the plan and home detox in

‘New Year, New You’ on page 42.

If detoxifying at home’s going to add to the stress,

why not just check yourself into a spa resort for some

programmed wellness? And if that’s not an option,

why not book yourself a series of detox treatments at

your favourite spa. If you’re wondering how, where

and when, we’ve got a list of some of the most effective

detox treatments and programmes the country has

to offer in ‘Relax,Reboot...Repeat’ on page 48. What’s

more, you can even try tossing up some delicious

detox-aiding dishes – we’ve got the recipes covered.

Plus, you also get a glimpse at what some of our

favourite celebrities do to detox!

As if that’s not enough, we’ve got a look-see

into a burgeoning wellness trend that you can now

experience in the capital – floatation therapy. We sent

our willing guinea pig into a tank to see whether it

works, and you can read all about it in ‘Gravity No

More’ on page 30. Then, there’s the making of a spa

menu in ‘A Matter of Choice’ on page 24.

Of course, I have to tell you about the lady on

the cover. Eugenia Belousova – model, music and

Parineeta Sethi

Chief Editor & Publisher

theatre enthusiast and the latest face to take the

media by storm – stunned us all with her drop-dead

gorgeous looks. She told us how she manages to look

so effortlessly good as we took shot after perfect shot at

the equally beautiful The Westin Mumbai Garden City.

Take a peek into her life in ‘Nature’s Child’ on page 34.

I definitely can’t say goodbye without mentioning

the 11th asiaSpa India Awards. This time you’ll have a

say too in who wins some of our most popular awards.

So, stay tuned for our Reader’s Choice Awards and vote

for some of your favourite spas on asiaspaindia.com.

Happy reading,
