Shamana Chikitsa: Ayurvedic Cleanse



Have you ever felt a change in your body when the seasons change? Like all of a sudden your emotions are ramped up, skin changes, digestion shifts, and you just feel a little off balance?


According to Ayurveda, these are all signs that it is time for your body to cleanse. The accumulation of ama (toxins) can manifest in mental, physical, and emotional symptoms especially during the time of a seasonal shift.


Ayurveda's remedy? A cleanse.


Now, this isn't the cleanses you may have heard about or participated in before:

-Beyonce's maple syrup/cayenne/lemon/water cleanse

-Juice cleanse

-Fasting

-Raw food diet only

-The Master cleanse


And so on...


Ayurveda has a more gentle and adaptable approach to seasonal cleansing known as Shamana Chikitsa which focuses on balancing all 3 doshas to help eliminate the buildup of ama through:

1) Herbs

2)Diet

3)Exercise/lifestyle practices


The focus in Shamana Chikitsa is to support digestion with a simple diet, eliminated toxins through sweating/exercise/emotional release, and to add more nourishing care to the senses. It isn't about restricting and resisting--its more about nourishing care and releasing.


Two weeks ago I went through a 3-Day Cleanse as I was noticing some changes in my skin (eczema), digestive issues (faster, looser digestion), and some emotional changes (more irritability/anxiety). Read all about my 3-Day Cleanse here.


If you are noticing signs/symptoms within your digestion, skin, emotions, etc, consider scheduling a consult with me here and we can best discuss how to support you, working with the root cause, to bring these things into balance and achieve a more vibrant, abundant health. I want to help YOU feel your best!
