Why is detoxing after the holidays important?

After an exhilarating holiday, we feel worried as we indulge into sumptuous eating, drinking and an erratic routine. This accumulation of toxins in the body makes our digestion sluggish ultimately leading to downswing of the general wellness of an individual. In this instance, focused detoxification helps in restoring the balance in the body.

The Connection Between Digestion and Detoxification

Digestion is considered as the main pillar of health in Ayurveda, called ‘Agni’. When this Agni is impaired due to our improper deeds, it tends to slow down and gradually leads to accumulation of toxins(Ama) in the body.  This is when Detoxification comes into action. Hence we need to eliminate these accumulated toxins out of the body, thereby, improving the digestion and gut health of an individual. Apart from absorbing nutrients, good digestion also implies effective elimination.

Ayurveda Principles for a Complete Detox

Delicious Detox Food
  • Light, Warm, Natural Foods: Ayurveda detox recommends intake of easily digestible foods such as steamed vegetables and mung dal soups cookies with rice so as to reignite the digestive fire in your body. 
  • Herbs and Spices for Digestive Support: Spices like ginger, turmeric, and fennel boosts digestion and supports the body’s detox process.
  • Abhyanga: Ayurvedic Oil Massage: Regular practice of herbal oil massages augment the lymphatic flow and also promotes easy elimination of toxins through skin.
  • Panchakarma: Deep Detox: Panchakarma is a fundamental part of Ayurveda, rendering a sequential pattern of procedures for cleansing the body. The treatments include herbal enemas, purgation, nasal drops instillation etc, that are customised to the needs of an individual.

Ayurvedic Rituals for Post-Holiday Recovery

  • Morning Routine with Warm Water and Lemon: Practising this simple procedure helps in cleaning the stomach and improves the nutritional absorption rate in the body and prepares you for the day. 
  • Meditation and Yoga: Yoga enhances circulation, relieves tension, and enhances detoxification, while meditation reduces stress and revitalizes mental clarity.
  • Triphala for Gut Health: This Ayurvedic remedy intensifies healthy digestion and uplifts the bowel movements.
