Gut Cleanse Detox is an Ayurveda protocol to cleanse your body from time to time to remove toxins and balance the five elements and three Dosha to restore the natural constitution of your body.

Every single day, your gut accumulates various kinds of toxins, due to poor digestion, stress and environmental pollutants, etc. This toxic accumulation, known as Ama(toxins) in Ayurveda, disturbs the natural biochemistry and functioning of all organs within the body. 

Some simple Gut Cleanse Detox can be done at home on a more regular basis and can do Ayurveda panchakarma detoxification therapy once a year. This consists of five purificatory actions combined with abhyanga or oil massage; swedhana, sweating; and a mono-diet of kitchari. This Ayurvedic Cleansing is best done at the change of seasons to rebalance accumulated doshas.

DAILY DRY BRUSHING for Lymph Drainage and Circulation

It exfoliates and promotes bright radiant skin. Brushing invigorates Kapha dosha. Use long strokes towards the heart and circular motion at joints. Follow with abhyanga, self-oil massage, and hot shower or bath.

TONGUE SCRAPING

Tongue cleaning holds a lot of importance in Ayurvedic Daily Routine. Doing this first thing in the morning clears toxins and bacteria from the tongue. For example, if a thick coating is present towards the back of the tongue, there is an accumulation of Kapha + potentially toxic residue – Ama, as it is called in Ayurveda. Such is a result of improper eating, poor digestion, or a reflection of an imbalance in the gastrointestinal system. Ridges around the edges represent mal-absorption of nutrients, while dryness or cracking represents excess Vata or a loss of fluids within the body. This ancient practice helps to stimulate the internal organs through energetic connections with the rest of the body. It improves digestion by increasing your sense of taste. It helps to balance the heavy, dulling qualities of Kapha dosha and cleanses the body of ama. Scraping a tongue prevents bad breath and protects gums, teeth, and the heart. Removal of toxins enhances the sense of taste.
