Why Cleanse?

​

Spring is a season of birth, new beginnings, renewal, and growth. During this period Sun rays become more strong as compare to winter. Ayurveda teaches us that the transition between seasons is important time in terms of our health, and we need to be particularly vigilant as our body adjusts to the changing climate.

Throughout Winter, the predominant elements building in the body/mind are Water and Earth, increasing 'Kapha' (you can think of Kapha as mucous). As it starts to warm up, this Kapha that has accumulated in the colder months begins to liquefy and move. This is why we are all more susceptible to mucousy colds, as well as hay fever, at this time of year. #detox #ayurvedastockholm #ayurvedadetox

In addition to the melting mucous, we also accumulate lot of toxins called Ama in Ayurveda. Ama is the result of poor digestion and also poor handling of emotions - emotional digestion. Ama is heavy, sticky, smelly and cloudy. Ayurveda teaches that these toxins or Ama gather in the digestive track but, given the right conditions, can overflow into the channels of the body, relocate into the tissues and eventually become the root cause of all disease. So it is very important to remove these toxins while they are still in the digestive tract.
