Why do we cleanse?

Traditions have been cleansing since the beginning of time, in order to clear the body and mind of the accumulation of living.  Now, in our modern day world, the importance of cleansing is even more vital.  In addition to environmental pollutants from industry, manufacturing and more, we have compromised food sources, preservatives, pesticides, chemicals, plastics, electro-magnetic pollutants and on and on the list goes.

Our world is switched on 24/7.  This plays havoc with our inherent biological rhythms and quality of wakefulness and sleep.  When we sleep better, we repair better, and our health improves.  When our rhythm is off, we become out of balance and health issues arise. At the transition points between seasons it is important to cleanse so we don’t take accumulation with us from one season to the next which can cause dis-ease in the body and mind.

When we cleanse we recalibrate and bolster digestion, which means that these toxins are not only released from fat cells where they are stored but they are eliminated.  When digestion is strong, metabolic processes are more effective and we have much more energy to manage our day.  And the mind becomes clear and stable.

Undertaking a cleanse in a safe and effective way with Ayurveda principles offers us a powerful process to truly reset mind, body and spirit.
