Gut Health and Digestion

According to Ayurvedic principles, gut health and digestion significantly influence the immune system. Poor gut health can also lead to skin problems, brain fog, bloating, and sugar cravings. With the right Ayurveda program, you can detox your gut, improve digestion, increase energy, sleep better, and connect to the natural rhythm of your body!

Panchakarma program – An Ayurvedic Cleanse

An Ayurvedic cleanse is a good place to begin improving gut health. The Ayurvedic cleanse, also known as panchakarma, is a powerful tool as it nourishes rather than deprives your body. It balances all the doshas (constitutions) as it replenishes and heals both the body and mind. An Ayurvedic cleanse can be done anytime you feel a build-up of ama, which is the toxic buildup of emotions, experiences, and undigested food, however, traditionally a cleanse is done three times per year. An Ayurvedic cleanse is a three to four-week process of detox treatments in India that are customized for the patient by Ayurvedic Doctors.

The first phase of a cleanse, purvakarma, sends toxins to the surface of your skin and to the bowels to be eliminated. This phase includes steaming, massage, and warm oil on the forehead for mental clarity. The next phase, panchakarma, is a more intensive treatment that is recommended to strengthen the detox and rejuvenate the body. This phase is made up of five treatments (karmas):
● Virechan – cleansing through medicinal plants, powders, and pastes
● Vamana – herbal medicinally induced purging
● Basti – massage and warm oil enemas
● Rakta moksha – bloodletting
● Nasya – nasal cleansing through oils, fumes, and herbal remedies

One or more of these treatments might be used to re-establish the body-mind connection. Supplements, teas, and herbal remedies might also be prescribed to cleanse the body and intestines. An Ayurvedic diet will be assigned to you depending on your dosha and will be monitored by an Ayurvedic doctor. You should then eat certain foods and avoid certain foods throughout your detox. Plenty of water and tea is recommended to flush out all the toxins being brought out of the body. Although at-home cleanses can be performed, it is suggested to follow the advice of a professional Ayurvedic practitioner.

Once the toxins have been removed from your body, it is time to replenish and nourish your body through yoga, meditation, and natural foods. Healing foods and herbs help build the body and immune system even stronger than before. Building up your inner fire, agni, reinforces positive emotions that fuel you. Conscious breathing and chanting soothe the nervous system and relieve anxiety.
