Could A Detox Program Help You
When people think of detox holidays they often expect be to given a bunch of herbs and laxatives and think they have to flush out their colon. But after the initial shock, they ask, Do I have to rest? Do I have to reduce my other activities?
This looks like its going to take up some time.
The Reality of Healing the Body.
Next thing, they find themselves at the front desk, scheduling their life to slow down just a little bit. What the heck is so important about that persons life that they cant take a few days off to oil themselves and relax?
The mentality is really destructive.
Today, the detox craze shows no sign of eliminating itself. People expect a weeks downing of detox pills to make up for months of unbalanced living.
Are You Going Against a Natural Sense of What Feels Good?
People are taking these bentonite cleanses. Yes, they do feel better for a few days (once its all over). But it was so difficult, uncomfortable and against the natural sense of what feels good they dont do it again.
Sure a few colon cleansing champions proudly keep up the regimen. The rest talk about doing it but dont.
The UK online journal Science About Science did a press release, this time last year, recommending people forget about detoxing. UKs leading scientists and clinicians said: Save your money: have a glass of tap water, a turkey salad and a good nights sleep!
Now, I dont agree with much of what they conclude, but they do make a lot of good points. Not only do most of those store bought cleansing kits provide little long term results Yes, it makes you have a lot more bowel movements (or just plain diarrhea). In the process, though, they also dry the bowels out.
If your colon is dry and worn out, how easy will it be to clean out toxins?
Another good point made by those UK scientists was that to recover from holiday-feasting, plenty of water, rest and fresh air can do wonders. All of these, of course, require you slow down and take it easy.
Combined with a balancing diet, oil massage and sauna (see page 77 of my Effortless Ayurvedic Living Guide free to all subscribers of my ezine), you will experience not a detoxification but a purification.
Not just physically, but mentally and spiritually.
Modern Detox Versus Ayurvedic Purification.
Its no secret that most of these modern detox diets are unpleasant. Its quite unlike an Ayurvedic Purification Program. We purify by using natural oils to lubricate the brain, the eye tissue, the sac around the heart Detox diets tend to dry the system out. In the process they get rid of toxins, yes, but in the process damage tissue.
Ive done all these other programs. The water fasts. The juice fasts. The pysllium husk fasts. I knows what its like. They dont have the same level of deep comfort from the inside out that I experience with Ayurvedic Purification.
I think everybody whos tried conventional raw food detox know the kind of tinny vibration that goes through you. Your nerves are jangled for the entire program.
Most of these detox-in-a-box kits ask that you keep it up for three consecutive months! And they dont afford time to prepare the body with oil, sauna and
massage.
