Spring cleaning is not restricted to the home, give your body temple a thorough cleanse this season and you'll be able to enjoy the celebration of Summer with abundant energy, feeling light and super fresh! Below are 5 simple ways you can use Ayurveda at home to purify your life.
Panchakarma is the Ayurvedic detox program
that works to cleanse on a deep level. It involves
a strict diet, treatments, meditations and eating
lots of herbs and ghee. And can be the impetus
for huge mental, emotional and energetic shifts.
You can employ the principles of the program
(which is very specific and usually done over 10, 21
or 40 days) very simply at home. Below are 6 ways
to you can detox and move into spring feeling
invigorated and renewed.
I encourage you to commit to a number of days
and watch the effects of the cleanse come into full
bloom in your body and life.
Dry body brushing
Gets circulation of stagnant
blood and lymph flowing.
Neti pot
especially if you suffer allergies or feel
blocked up / excessive mucus.
Yoga
No surprises here. Enjoy an invigorating, firey practice
regularly, if you can wake up one hour before
sunrise to practice this is ideal.

Diet
Eat light. Bring in more greens and
steamed veggies, fresh fruit and herbs.
Eliminate all refined sugar, wheat, dairy and
drink loads of water.
- Hot water with honey, lemon or apple cider
vinegar: for cutting through oil and stimulating
digestive fire, balancing kalpha and honey helps
with the extra pollen in the air.
Sweat
Get moving, enjoy sauna or steam baths
to thaw out winter stiffness, reduce water
retention and feel all dewy and glow from the
inside out.
