Sarth Ayurveda
Modern lifestyle, irregular eating habits, stress, pollution, and lack of proper sleep slowly burden our body. Over time, digestion weakens and waste starts accumulating inside the system.
According to Ayurveda, maintaining internal balance is essential for good health. Detoxification helps reset the body, supports digestion, and allows natural healing to take place.
In Ayurveda, undigested waste is called Ama. It forms when digestive fire (Agni) is weak and blocks the body’s natural channels, leading to various health issues.
Ayurvedic detox focuses on removing Ama, improving Agni, and cleansing the body deeply. This process enhances immunity, improves energy levels, and supports overall well-being.
When digestion weakens, toxins quietly build within the body.
Detoxification clears these blocks, revives inner fire,
and allows the body to return to its natural state of balance and health
Detoxification can be done using simple, natural methods based on an individual’s digestion, strength, and health condition. Common practices include short-term fasting on warm water for 1–3 days, consuming only buttermilk for 2–3 days, or following a light diet of boiled vegetables, fruits, or salads. Ayurvedic herbal drinks and decoctions, along with detox-supporting herbs such as Amalaki, Triphala, Guduchi, Neem, Haridra, Manjishta, and Trikatu, are also effective in cleansing the body. In some cases, a small dose of castor oil (Erand oil) taken weekly at bedtime with warm water or milk is traditionally used to support bowel regularity.
Detoxification is beneficial for individuals experiencing physical, metabolic, or lifestyle-related imbalances. It is especially recommended for:
Individuals with poor digestion or weak metabolism (low Agni)
People suffering from recurrent or chronic illnesses
Those experiencing joint pain, muscle stiffness, or physical strain
Individuals with poor skin health or recurring allergies
People under mental stress, anxiety, or emotional imbalance
Those feeling fatigue, lethargy, or low energy levels
Individuals with high blood sugar levels
Overweight individuals (as part of Karshan Chikitsa)
Underweight individuals (as part of Bruhan Chikitsa)
People who travel frequently and consume food from varied sources
Individuals with irregular or poor sleep patterns
Those with chronic bone and joint disorders such as arthritis, spondylitis, or gout
Before pregnancy, to support a healthy conception
After delivery, for maternal recovery and child care support
Toxins (Ama) are removed in Ayurveda by avoiding their root causes (Nidaanparivarjaan), digesting existing toxins (Amapachanam), and strengthening digestive fire (Agni Deepanam). Deep cleansing of body channels (Strotoshodhanam) is achieved through Ayurvedic Panchakarma (Shodhan Chikitsa), which includes therapies such as Vaman, Virechan, Basti, Nasya, and Raktmokshan to eliminate deeply accumulated toxins and restore balance.
For maintaining good health and supporting detoxification, regular physical activity such as yoga or exercise for at least 45 minutes daily—preferably in the morning—is recommended. Drink adequate water (2–4 liters based on body type), consume fresh and organic food, and include all six tastes (Rasas) in your diet. Follow proper meal timing with a heavy breakfast, moderate lunch, and light dinner. Ensure daily sunlight exposure for 10–15 minutes and avoid alcohol, smoking, and other addictive habits.
