Detoxification can be a powerful tool for resetting your system and cultivating a strong foundation of health; however, improper cleansing practices can lead your body and mind into further imbalance. In Ayurveda, it is essential to consider a person’s Prakriti (body type), Vikriti (current imbalance), age, and level of strength in order to administer a cleansing program that will be the most balanced for your current needs.
This well-rounded Ayurvedic Cleansing Consultation will provide you with the guidance to perform an at-home cleanse that will be written out specifically for you. Working with traditional Ayurvedic modalities throughout your cleanse will provide a non-invasive, yet effective cleansing treatment that will set the stage for optimal energy, a clear mind, improved digestion and elimination, and daily wellbeing.
