WHY AYURVEDIC CLEANSING?

Just as it is necessary to tune up your car’s engine regularly, your body also needs regular cleansing and rejuvenation to keep it healthy and disease-free. Ayurveda recommends that we cleanse at the changing of the seasons, when our outer environment changes, in order to remove accumulated doshas (imbalances) and re-set our internal environment.

The modern world most of us live in is extremely stressful and toxic. The art of Ayurvedic cleansing, known as Panchakarma, has been practiced for thousands of years, and is famous for its ancient, proven process of removing impurities, balancing the tissues, and restoring harmony and health to all levels of being. 

This Ayurvedic cleanse is nourishing, gentle, and comforting. It is not a fast or a gimmicky fad diet. You get to eat as much as you want, and I provide healthy, easy-to-make recipes that are as delicious as they are sustaining.

The effects of cleansing often last well beyond the two weeks of the cleanse itself: most clients maintain newfound balance for years through permanent, positive changes in diet and lifestyle.

WHAT TO EXPECT

​

An Ayurvedic cleanse consists of 3 phases: the pre-cleanse, cleanse, and post-cleanse.

​

PRE-CLEANSE

​

The first 3 days of the cleanse, you will focus on preparing your body to cleanse. You'll eliminate heavy, toxic, and processed foods, add healing foods, and start building a healthy daily routine that will support you throughout the remaining 11 days of the cleanse.

​

CLEANSE

​

Over the next 7 days, you will undergo a deep transformation as you eliminate old, unwanted mental, physical, and emotional waste. Your internal organs will purge toxins and remove excess doshas (imbalances), and your metabolism will become balanced as your digestive fire heals.

​

POST-CLEANSE

​

In the final 4 days of the cleanse, your focus will be on balancing the nervous system and digestive fire, and rejuvenating the tissues. You'll follow a specific protocol to gradually return to the pre-cleanse diet, adding wholesome foods and beneficial herbs and spices to increase strength and enhance your immune system.
