An Ayurvedic Look at Cleansing the Body

March 9, 2021 by WellnessLoungeSpa

ayurveda

Written by Chelsea Denien

Springtime is just around the corner making it the perfect time to cleanse the body!

In today’s day and age, there are so many options for cleansing the body. From juice fasts to detox diets, where do you begin? Ayurveda offers gentle and nourishing options for cleansing that support the body rather than depleting it. 

Ayurveda believes that the transition between two seasons is the best time for a cleanse. During this time your body can easily flush out the excess of accumulated toxins from the season before. But a cleanse can be done anytime we’re experiencing any of the following:

Fatigue

Irritability

Stiffness or aching in the body

Undesired weight gain or inability to lose excess weight

Cravings, especially for sugar or processed carbohydrates

Skin problems, such as dry skin, rash, or acne 

Cleanse comes in many varieties, from eating foods and herbs that boost our digestive abilities to a full week-long relaxation process. It is important that you discuss with your Ayurvedic Profesional about what type of cleansing will best support you right now. 

There are five main types of cleanses in Ayurvedic medicine but were going to look at the two best forms of cleansing for this season. 

  1. The Mono-diet

A mono diet is when we give the digestive system a break by taking in the same food over a period of 3 to 7 days. This simple cleanse is a great way to reset sluggish digestion, jump-start weight loss, gently removes build-up in the intestines, and reduce cravings from sugar or carbohydrates. During a mono-diet, you can maintain your day-to-day life with ease but it is recommended to enjoy some rest and relaxation. 

  1. Panchakarma

If you’re looking for a deeper cleanse panchakarma may be exactly what you need. This 5-day retreat-like cleanse is designed to heavily remove toxins from the body. During Pancha Karma or PK for short, you will enjoy a 5-day mono-diet accompanied by herbal supplements and daily treatments like massage and steam baths. During PK it’s recommended to take a break from daily responsibilities and enjoy as much downtime as possible. 

Whether you’re doing a simple day fast or enjoying 5 days of pampering with PK, there are 3 stages to each cleanse that take place. 

Stage 1: The Pre Cleanse 

During this time you are preparing your body for the cleanse by transitioning to a vegetarian-based diet, increasing your water intake, reducing caffeine, and beginning suggested herbal supplements or teas.

Stage 2: The Cleanse 

This is the bulk of the cleanse. This time period is between 1 to 7 days depending on the type of cleansing you’re doing and your current state of health. 

Stage 3: Easing back into daily life

Whether you do a 1 day cleanse or 5 days cleanse, it’s important to take a few days to slowly ease back into daily life and eating. During this time we also want to focus on rejuvenation and replenishing the body. 

Cleansing is such a simple and beautiful way that we can offer much-needed support to our bodies. These small breaks from our normal stressful routines promote longevity and increase our overall well-being. 

If you’re interested in doing an Ayurvedic cleanse we would love to schedule you with one of our Ayurvedic professionals for a complimentary consultation to discuss what kind of cleansing would best support your needs.

Spring is a time of transition and growth. We see Spring is a time of transition and growth. We see this all around us in nature but, it’s often true in our lives as well. If you feel the energy of Spring thrusting you into a transitional state, keep in mind, the new growth on a tree in Spring starts out green and flexible. That’s you: starting out, green. It’s okay if it’s a hard place to be. This is temporary, a season. Be like the new branch, bend with the winds and rain.

Need some help staying emotionally “flexible?” Our acupuncturist & herbalist Kara can help you with that! Book your initial session today!

Most of America views massage as a luxury. But mos Most of America views massage as a luxury. But most of the world understands that massage is a necessity that should be received regularly. 

In India, babies are massaged every day until the age of 3. Massage is traded amongst family members after a long day at work. And regular visits to professional massage therapists are made. 

They do this because they understand that our bodies work better when they aren’t tight, ridged, and in pain. 

We’re not meant to constantly carry stress in our bodies. 

Massage is a very important and crucial part of self-care!

If you dedicate 10 minutes a day to self-massage and $100 a month to professional massage, you should see an improvement in the way you mentally and physically feel!

🚨NEW SERVICE 🚨 The first time our Ayurvedi 🚨NEW SERVICE 🚨 

The first time our Ayurvedic practitioner Chelsea received a ghee eye bath, she thought "this must be what it feels like at the bottom of the bag of movie theater popcorn" 

People are often shocked when they hear that she uses ghee in her eyes in the dry winter months. But she feels that ghee lubricates her eyes better than any synthetic eye drop ever could. 

And this ghee eye bath, known as a Netra Basti, is like the ultimate eye hydration and healing treatment. 

It may seem strange to soak the eye in warm ghee. But it's wonderfully soothing. 

It's healing and relaxing. Ghee helps to nourish the eye, reduce pain or tiredness from strain, and can help in conditions like cataracts or glaucoma. 

Try something new and book yourself a Netra Basti with Chelsea next month to experience this ancient ayurvedic therapy.
