What happens when your body undergoes for a detox program?

The health of a healthy person and healing the diseased condition can only be done by maintaining the digestive fire i,e the agni (Sanskrit name) in a perfect manner. Ayurveda says that all the aliments in the body arise due to improper digestive fire.

What happens if the digestive fire is imbalanced?

  • Irregular food habits, incompatible food intake, poorly managed stress levels, over eating etc. can weaken your digestive fire.
  • The food what we eat when it meets the improper digestive fire it remains a improperly or half  digested food only. Such improperly digested food cannot nourish the tissues and on top of that it releases the toxins in the body.

What are these toxins?

  • The improperly digested food in the body does not have the capacity to easily pass through the lumens of stomach and intestines. Hence they remain  attached to the walls and even enter into each and every molecules and cells each day.
  • All the toxins in the body will not develop in a fortnight or a day. It takes time to develop such toxins in the body.

How to detoxify your body?

  • Before stepping directly towards any detox programs, initially you need to know what exactly is happening in your body and get assessed about your digestive fire, doshas (humours) etc. by consulting our expert Ayurvedic Practitioners.
