Mushrooms have been getting loaded into smoothies, chocolate and coffee for a little while now, but now wellness warriors are using it on their skin. Rich in vitamin B, mushrooms are starting to pop up in cleansers, eye serums and moisturisers, all promising to fight inflammation.

Lattes were so last decade. These days, alternative ‘milks’, specialty brews and a nip of wellness are all commonplace orders given to baristas. Whether it’s MCT oil, butter or coconut in a Bulletproof-style coffee, mushroom or broccoli coffee featuring dried brassicas (no lie), or a shot of antioxidant-rich turmeric in your cup of Joe, coffee’s role is no longer just to provide a slap in the face; it’s becoming yet another daily vehicle for wellness.

CBD (cannabidiol) is a non psycho-active strain of cannabis, prized for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties. Acne sufferers have been using it to ease redness, calm the skin and aid skin cell renewal. It’s also being celebrated for its anti-ageing powers, thanks to it being classed a powerful antioxidant. So we’re planning to see more high street brands get behind CBD in the very near future.

There are no tears involved (unless you’re impartial to plummeting temperatures) in the strange-sounding cryotherapy. Otherwise known as ‘cold therapy’, it involves exposing your body to extremely cold temperature (we’re talking liquid nitrogen-assisted arctic conditions of below minus 80 degrees) in the hopes of healing sports injuries, reducing inflammation and improving your general mental health and wellbeing. Cryotherapy can be applied to just one area, or you can opt for the whole-body experience.

Lewis Litt from Netflix series Suits is a fan of mudding, but the practice isn’t limited to just TV characters. Rhassoul clay, a natural mineral clay mined from Morocco’s Atlas Mountains since the eighth century, has long been heralded for drawing out impurities. The mud is created all thanks to naturally occurring geothermal reactions, giving it a range of excellent minerals, which provide great therapeutic relief. It’s been used in North Africa for centuries, and now the rest of the world is cottoning on.

The rise of functional foods like edible collagen, are undisputable; in the US, the collagen market is tipped to reach USD $5,754.3 million by 2026. Collagen, the most frequently occurring protein in our body, has long been linked to improved skin, bones, hair, nails and joints. Expect to see more foods, drinks and powders containing beauty ingestibles in 2020.

Move over vodka soda – it’s the year of the vodka kombucha, or the cold press vodka orange. Look out for other buzzy health foods popping up in your favourite cocktails, like collagen, kefir, turmeric, and coconut water. Sugary booze is also out, with Smirnoff recently releasing a new range called Smirnoff Infusions, sporting only 40 calories per serve and flavoured with natural botanicals. A night out has never looked so virtuous.

Wellness tourism is not a novel idea, but airports are now getting in on the mindfulness boom and acting as extensions of your holiday. From massages at the gate to more health-conscious snacks and plant-based dining at the terminal (time to swap that burger for an acai bowl), to airline lounges upping their wellness game with help from spas and purifying toiletries, it’s all about creating more calm during the at-times chaotic, cortisol-raising, pre-flight rush.

Doggie blow dries are out, and doggie day spas are in. The wellness trend has extended to our furry family members, with everything from pawdicures to a full body aroma massage now on offer for pets. Melbourne’s Diggiddydoggydayspa kick theirs off with a warm, cuddle-filled bubble bath for all pets, with optional extras including a doggy facial, scissor trim, and a luxury pawdicure complete with a shea butter massage.

In our frantic, fast-paced lives, many are searching for novel ways to curb stress and anxiety. Enter the sound bath, a full-body experience said to achieve just that. While you concentrate on its notes and vibrations, a sound bath uses a metal bowl to produce a sustained musical note when struck. During a sound bath session, you’ll be lulled into a meditative state as you follow the vibrations. It’s like yoga, minus the sweat.

From sound baths, to a more rustic kind of submergence – a hay bath. Used for more than 200 years, the ancient Austrian tradition involves resting in a mix of fermented alpine hay, healing herbs and essential oils to help improve circulation and kickstart your immune system. Hot tip: soaking the hay before the bath ensures it’s an itch-free experience.

Still on the turmeric latte bandwagon? Get out of 2019: 2020 is all about tiger nut milk. Animal lovers will be pleased to know it’s 100 per cent vegan, made from yellow nutsedge, which has been cultivated in Egypt since the time of the pharaohs. These days, it’s considered a decent source of probiotics, magnesium and potassium.

A growing trend in NYC that even made its way to regional NSW, goat yoga taps into the healing power of animals. You know that warm and fuzzy feeling you get when you pat a cute puppy? Add some endorphin-releasing stretches to that, and it’s a recipe for a fun, smile-filled session. Essentially, it’s a yoga class with about eight kid goats left to wander freely about the studio. The idea is that the adorable kids interact with the yoga participants on occasion, who can offer it a piece of fruit from time to time. It’s all about relaxing with a bit of fun thrown in

Your lymphatic system has a very important job that isn’t known by too many people: it’s been tasked with collecting all the excess liquids your body secretes, filtering out the bad stuff, like cellular waste, pathogens and bacteria, and returning the good stuff to your bloodstream. In 2020, you’ll be seeing more treatments (massages and otherwise) focusing on nourishing your lymphatic system, in the hopes of fighting disease, reducing inflammation and improving digestion. In fact, ‘lymphatic health’ has been touted as the next health buzzword.
