Our bodies are amazingly adaptive, taking whatever we throw at them and making it work. When we give them what they need – good nutrition, plenty of water, and deep uninterrupted sleep, they thrive. But these days, our bodies are inundated with a never-ending barrage of stressors: environmental toxins, processed foods, and psychological stress, to name a few.

Over time, this toxicity accumulates in your tissues, which can compromise your health. The idea behind an Ayurvedic cleanse is to give your body a break; nourishing it with easily digestible foods, supporting it with herbs, and slowing down so it can rest, recuperate, repair…and cleanse itself. There is no fasting, no meal bars or shakes, just nourishing whole foods and gentle herbs. We cleanse at the big seasonal changes in late fall and again in early spring. These are times when a gentle reset can be helpful; moving out of the heat of summer and preparing for the cold and slowness of winter, and then again when moving into the growth period of spring.

In Ayurveda, there is a super deep-dive cleanse called Panchakarma, which is done in a center under the supervision of an Ayurvedic medical doctor. Our home Ayurvedic cleanse is more gentle, and is focused on drawing toxins out of the tissues and depositing them into the digestive tract for elimination, as well as helping to begin balancing the Doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) in your body. You don’t need to know your Dosha for this cleanse to be effective, as it’s designed mainly to detoxify the tissues and rebuild your digestive fire (agni); but once your cleanse is complete it can be helpful to meet with an Ayurvedic practitioner to discover your Dosha and learn how you can support your body moving forward in better balance.
