CLEANSING AND PURIFICATION
The
human body has a natural healing
capacity, which allows a constant. Rejuvenation. However
, doshas’ imbalance and weakened digestion produce toxins .Therefore this natural capacity of the body
is jeopardized. Ayurveda ‘s
most effective treatment for preventing the formation of toxins, ama, is
, first, awareness, education.
Knowing
the proper balance of the gunas (sattvic, rajasic, tamasic)
will spontaneously make diet and lifestyle choices that truly nourish us
and maintain our health and happiness

Too much
rajas or tamas can have a negative impact on our life, producing
toxins, ama in our body,
muscles, jonts,
However
, when the toxins are
already present in the body, Ayurveda
use Panchacharma, science of purification and rejuvenation,
to restore health, it restablishes balance among the doshas, normalizes
digestion and removes the toxic accumulations of ama. It allows the body
‘s innate healing intelligence , reverses many causes of degenerative diseases
and promotes a long and healthy life. However its ultimate purpose is to restore
and restablish our full conscious connection to universal source of life.
