Ayurvedic Cleansing

Bi-Annual Seasonal Ayurvedic Cleanse

In Ayurveda it is recommend to cleanse during the transitional seasons of Spring and Fall. These special times of year are occasions of balance between day and night. They are typically not too hot or not too cold. There is more balance in the environment and that supports our efforts in creating balance internally. In Ayurveda we cleanse to balance any excess doshas that have accumulated in our body-mind. In the spring we cleanse to clear any accumulated cold and damp from the Vata/Kapha winter season that can lead to heaviness, allergies, lethargy, weight gain, sluggishness etc. In the Fall we cleanse to clear any excess heat from the Pitta summer sun that has accumulated. Excess heat effects our body in a certain way that can lead to dryness or skin rashes and eruptions. Excess heat in our digestive tract leads to malabsorption, indigestion and over acidity. Taking two weeks twice a year to reset and restore digestion can have lasting effects on our health and stave off illness and disease.

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND CLEANSING OR DETOXING WHILE PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING

Our two week seasonal cleanse can be done self-paced or in our group setting. Both options come with plenty of guidance, videos and support along your cleansing journey.

During these two weeks you will find some parts easy and some parts challenging. That is natural, it is designed to have you meet some edges as well as bring in some tapasya or discipline. It is within this container that we can find freedom and balance.  This process will have you doing a lymphatic detox, by repairing the intestinal villi, thinning and flushing the bile and cleansing the liver. You will boost your nutrient absorption. Your mood and energy can improve. You may find balance in your blood sugar and increased digestive strength. You’ll burn fat while you sleep great!

This cleanse is divided into three parts or phases, each guided with recipes, lifestyle support practices and journal prompts to make this a holistic and effective experience. We begin with phase one, The Warm Up, where we are focused on eliminating common allergens, strengthening our digestive power and awakening our body’s detox processes. This phase has you eating lots of food! Seeds, nourishing seasonal soups, bowls and more! Phase two, The Main Event is the Kitchari phase. While we are on the mono diet of kitchari we are also adding increasing amount a ghee which functions as a gallbladder flush. The mono diet of kithcari allows our digestive system to not work as hard on digesting and metabolizing different foods and instead can focus on eliminating the toxins we have been moving from our outer periphery of our lymph and blood to our gastro-intestinal system where it can be eliminated. Phase two culminates with a castor oil or prune laxative to properly eliminate all built up toxins. From here we move on to phase three, The Integration. Here is our MOST IMPORTANT MOMENT where we focus on rebuilding our AGNI or digestive fire after our laxative. We slowly start to ease into supportive easy to digest foods, taking care to nurture the intestinal skin and rebuild a robust digestive capacity.

This is a beautiful cleanse and an opportunity to give yourself a digestive reset, burn fat and support your body’s natural detox ability.
