Ayurvedic Detox Cleansing: Toxins
In Ayurveda, three types of toxins have been referred to. These are ama, garvisha and amavisha. The most common type of toxin is Ama. This is basically the waste product that is produced from the incomplete digestion of the food that we consume. Ama is sticky and foul smelling. This is formed in the digestive tract of the body. This is formed from the food that we eat; in case that is not digested properly then ama is formed. This indigestion is caused due to our eating habits where we eat those food items that are alien for our body and our body is not used to eating it.
Another reason for ama is taking food in inadequate quantity. In case you eat more food or less food, then also ama is formed. The food that is left over in our digestive tract continues to ferment, processed and become old and stale. In case this ama is produced for a very long period of time, this can travel to leave the digestive tract of the body. Then it reaches a weak part of the body elsewhere in our body and then settles there.
This ama produced and settled elsewhere away from the digestive tract of the body blocks the shrotas within the body. Shrotas are the micro circulatory channels in the body. Due to this blockage, the flow of micronutrients in the body is disrupted. This also disrupts the natural waste removal system of the body. Ama is basically produced in case the digestive fire, which is called the Agni is neither strong or is inadequate in the body. The remedy for this is to enhance this Agni which can be done by changing the dietary routine or by taking herbal supplements.
Ayurvedic Detox Cleansing process helps to get rid of ama produced in the body and in case it is retained somewhere in the body. Hence, this toxin is flown out of the body through Ayurvedic Detox Cleansing.
