Living Perfect Health
Your body already knows how to cleanse and rejuvenate itself.
Every night when you sleep, the body completes a “mini-fast” as you sleep.
Your body is also constantly shedding toxins and waste through elimination.
However, this natural cleansing process often is not enough. The constant exposure to toxins now found in water, air, food, and medications places a huge burden on your body.
If you have a stressful lifestyle, seldom exercise, and eat a diet of refined foods, the toxic load on your body increases.
Some signs that you have accumulated toxins in your body include ongoing headaches, skin problems, depression, low energy, poor digestion, and constipation.
Ayurveda recommends a total detoxification program known as Panchakarma, which means “the five purifying actions.”
Panchakarma is a cornerstone of the Perfect Health program. Participants undergo a systematic process that mobilizes and eliminates toxins stored in the body.
Luxurious oil massage treatments and heat therapies are followed by a gentle eliminative procedure that releases toxins from the digestive tract or nasal passages.
You can perform a gentle detoxification program at home by following these steps:
Follow a simplified diet for five days, eating plenty of steamed vegetables, grains, and lentil soup.
Eliminate fried foods, fermented items, dairy and animal products, and refined carbohydrates.
For three days, eat sesame seeds and golden raisins to lubricate your digestive tract. Prepare a one-to-one mixture of ⅛ cup sesame seeds and ⅛ cup golden raisins.
Take a teaspoon of the mixture one hour before each meal, or two hours after each meal. You can substitute ½ teaspoon of sesame oil with 3 to 4 raisins if you have trouble digesting seeds.
Drink plenty of ginger root tea – at least one liter per day. To make the tea, add one teaspoon of freshly grated ginger root per pint of hot water. Sip the tea throughout the day.
On the fourth evening, perform an oil massage or self-abhy and soak in a hot bath.
Around 10 p.m., take a teaspoon of yogurt with a dose of standardized senna extract. You can expect a few loose bowel movements within the next six to eight hours.
Eat lightly the next day, gradually reintroducing more complex foods into your diet.
