There are a couple of ways for toxins to accumulate in our body. Even when we follow the right diet and activity toxins are prone to build up at the subcellular level.
According to Ayurveda the food we eat gets converted into Sara (nutrient portion) and Kitta (toxic metabolite). The Sara portion then nourishes the Dathu (tissues). Kitta could be any excrement’s like stools, urine, wax from the ear, sweat, etc.
Additionally, improper diet and lifestyle practices can build up toxins (Ama) in the body can lead to various abnormalities ranging from premature ageing to cancer. Today, the modern science believes free radicals can lead to cancer and premature ageing. The best therapy for this is Panchakarma (detox Therapy). This will eliminate the toxins and cleanse the body inside out. Panchakarma means five main types of detox therapies. The type of therapy is choose based on one’s body type or disease condition. More often irrespective of what disease you have the treatment is preceded by a panchakarma therapy as ayurveda believes this will reset the body and prepare the body for better absorption and metabolism of medicines you give.
Detox is generally recommended for people suffering from asthma, allergies, sinusitis, spondylitis, radiculopathies, joint pains, paralysis, skin diseases, eczema, psoriasis, acne, infertility, sexual debilities. Detox is not a treatment for any disease but it is used as a tool to rest the body for better absorbtion and metabolism of food and herbs. It is recommended to do once in few years as part of rejuvenation program.
