A lot of you may have come across the term ‘detox’ and wondered about it. In this e-book, we aim to take you through the basics of detox, why you should do it and whether it has any benefits.

To start with, we shall learn about detoxification – what is detox?

Detox is short for ‘de-toxifying’ and the context refers to clearing out the impurities in our blood stream. Indulging in a session of detox will help your body heal naturally and get rid of both artificial and natural toxins that plague the different body tissues. People are often under the misconception that detox means fasting however, this is not true. What actually happens around detoxification is that you stop consuming foodstuffs that are bad for the body. Instead, the focus is on natural and healthy food items that help the kidneys and liver by extracting the harmful toxins. When these toxins are eliminated from the body, then you will feel fresher and more rejuvenated.

Some of the famous celebrities from Hollywood who have embraced Ayurveda in a big way include Gwyneth Paltrow and Adriana Lima.

She began detox diets when she had a breakdown a few years ago and now insists that she repeats detox diets throughout the year so as to avoid taxing her body. Adriana Lima is another Brazilian model and actress who follows a low carbohydrate diet and often does detoxification. Jennifer Anniston and Julia Roberts are other such celebrities who propagate the goodness of Ayurvedic treatments as they believe it restores balance to their mind and body.

Super model Naomi Campbell was in Kerala very recently to attend a seminar of Patanjali and its benefits.

The fact that celebrities are doing Ayurvedic detox diets should not stop us from our end goals.

To help burn the excess moisture of Kapha, this recipe will be appropriate for all doshas and it stimulates the digestive fire of the body. These doshas are categorised as Vata (Air), Pitta (Fire) and Kapha (Water). Vata corresponds to movement, Pitta of digestion or metabolism and Kapha or lubrication and structure. The imbalance of these doshas usually results to illnesses. It would interest you to know that there are certain personality traits that are synonymous with Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
