Ayurvedic cleansing diet is a means to avoid any piling up of toxins in our body. The best season for the cleansing activity of our body is the time between winters and springs which is usually an idle time also. This time period can be easily utilized to get rid of toxins that are produced and are piled up in our body for long duration of time. Also during the Ayurvedic cleansing process, special consideration has to be maintained for the diet we are consuming. This is called the Ayurvedic cleansing diet routine.

When following an Ayurvedic cleansing diet we should avoid ama producing foods. Ama is a product that is produced due to incomplete digestion of the food in our body. Ama is a sticky toxin produced due to indigestion and can clog the channels of our body that carry nutrients to the cells and also throws the waste out of our body. As Ayurvedic cleansing process is doe to get the ama out of our body. Hence, during the Ayurvedic cleansing process, we should avoid consuming any ama producing diet.

Ayurvedic expertise tells us that any left over food or dead food such as processed, packaged and canned food all produces ama. These foods including the frozen foods also produce ama in the body which in itself is a toxin. More over non organic foods that are those food items that are genetically modified, those which are grown with chemicals, pesticides and usage of chemical additives all produce ama. The natural intelligence of our body does not recognize these food items and hence are aliens to our digestive system. Thus such foods should be avoided.
