Seasonal Detox – A key to a healthy you!

The health of an individual depends on the food habits, lifestyle and the surrounding environment. Extreme hot or cold conditions, drastic climate changes have a direct impact on a person’s health.

Why is a Detox required?

It’s a known fact that the human body generates metabolic wastes while burning the energy, to rebuild the tissues and replace the worn out and dying cells. These metabolic wastes are broken down, recycled and eliminated by the body regularly for the better performance of the bodily functions.

When the body fails to eliminate these due to various factors, it affects the metabolic and immune system. Gradual accumulation of these metabolic wastes can further lead to metabolic disorders like obesity, diabetes, PCOD etc.

Hence Ayurveda professes that seasonal detoxification is the key to be healthy. Detox can be simulated to Festive household cleaning or a mere Annual car servicing.

Why is Detox recommended in the Autumn Season (Sharad Ritu)?

Autumn comes right after the rainy season and with the gradual shift of weather, the physiological condition of the body gets altered.

During the rainy season, there will be mild aggravation of Pitta in the body which further continues to aggravate in the autumn season causing symptoms like increased sweating, mouth ulcers, sour belching etc.

When this aggravated pitta is not being corrected or normalized in the body it can lead to gastritis, skin diseases like psoriasis, eczema, allergies etc and other metabolic diseases in the due course of time.

Therefore, systematic Ayurveda Detox treatments are advised to remove the toxins, followed by correction in diet and lifestyle helps to prevent its aggravation and thereby preventing metabolic disorders.
