Feeling sluggish, bloated, or mentally foggy? It might be time for a detox—but not the extreme kind. Ayurveda offers a gentle and sustainable way to reset your body, mind, and digestion through natural cleansing rituals. This one-week home detox focuses on restoring your Agni (digestive fire) and eliminating Ama (toxins) without harsh fasting.
Explore how simple tools like Trikatu tea, warm water, cleansing foods, and restorative yoga can support your body’s natural detox pathways—all from the comfort of home.
Trikatu Tea: Ignite Your Digestive Fire
Trikatu is a blend of three powerful spices—dry ginger (shunthi), black pepper (maricha), and long pepper (pippali). This blend enhances digestion, clears toxins, and boosts metabolism.
How to make it:
• Mix 1/4 tsp each of dry ginger, black pepper, and long pepper
• Boil in 2 cups of water for 5–7 minutes
• Strain and sip warm, 2–3 times a day between meals
Warm Water Sipping Every 30–45 Minutes
Sipping warm water throughout the day helps flush toxins, stimulates digestion, and prevents the buildup of Ama. It also supports lymphatic flow and keeps you energized during detox.
Tip: Avoid cold or carbonated drinks. Add a few fennel seeds or fresh tulsi leaves for added benefit.
Gentle Virechana with Cleansing Foods
Virechana refers to therapeutic purgation or cleansing of the liver and bowels. During a home detox, include foods that naturally support gentle elimination and bile flow.
Detox-friendly foods:
• Steamed vegetables like bottle gourd, pumpkin, and spinach
• Khichdi made with mung dal and basmati rice
• Cumin-coriander-fennel (CCF) water
• Ghee (in small amounts) to lubricate digestion
