Have you noticed that winter is already giving way to spring and your body is feeling different?

It could be that you are experiencing the effects of our current seasonal change from winter into spring. A detox is considered most beneficial when nature is rejuvenating as spring arrives. Are you ready to rejuvenate?
 

Here are the typical symptoms of ama or impurity overload. If you currently experience these symptoms of ama then starting a cleanse within the next 7-10 days is highly recommended.

 

Note which ones apply to you at the moment...

 

1. You wake up tired even after a good night’s sleep

2. You feel lethargic

3. Your tongue is coated especially upon wakening in the morning

4. You don't feel real hunger even when you haven't eaten for hours

5. You have generalized aches and pains. They are often noticed the day after eating certain heavy foods, like meat, cheeses, desserts and fried foods

6. You lack mental clarity and energy

7. You have a sense of heaviness in the abdomen, legs or body as a whole

8. You feel weary and lacking enthusiasm

9. You experience frequent indigestion like gas bloating and/or heartburn

10. You feel blocked somewhere in the body, including constipation, sinus congestion and have difficulty breathing.

 

If you have said yes to 2 or more then follow the seasonal cleanse tips below.

 

Spring Cleanse Programme
 

This is an important time of the year to take herbals to help flush out stored impurities and toxins.

• Take 2-4 tablets of Herbal Cleanse before going to bed at night to cleanse the bowel. If you have a history of constipation also take 2 tablets of Digest Tone with the Herbal Cleanse prior bed.
• Take 2 tablets of Elim-Tox (or Elim-Tox-O if you have more Pitta symptoms) morning and evening to cleanse the liver, blood, sweat glands and elimination system.
• Taking 2 tablets of Genitrac morning and evening to purify the urinary tract and assist the removal of toxins
• Apply 1-2 drops of Herbal Nasal Oil oil in each nostril after a shower or bath in the morning and again around 5pm.

Note: It is better not to combine Elim-Tox with Bio-Immune or Radiant Skin because these formulations have overlapping actions and benefits.

 

Lifestyle tips
 

1. Eat fresh food, freshly prepared.​

• If by nature you are quick, changeable and slight of build favour light Vata balancing foods from this page you will also see the other light diets for Kapha and Pitta. 
• If by nature you are goal-oriented and like a challenge favour light Pitta balancing foods   
• If you are relaxed, laid back and stable by nature, favour equal portions of light Kapha and Vata balancing foods 

2. Favor warm cooked food rather than large salads, sandwiches and other cold foods.

3. Eat your largest meal of the day at lunch when digestion is strongest.

4. Avoid consumption of large quantities of cheese and heavy meats.
