What is Ayurvedic cleansing?
Throughout the day, you're exposed to various toxins, many of which can have an adverse impact on your health. These toxins can be transmitted through the foods you eat, the water you drink, and even the air that you breathe. An Ayurvedic cleansing program will work to clear those toxins (ama) from your system, which will leave you looking and feeling healthier than ever.
During your cleanse, you'll be able to apply Ayurveda to your day-to-day life, leaving your mind and your body reinvigorated. A cleanse can balance the Ayurveda doshas, Vata, Kapha, and Pitta, allowing you to achieve optimal health.

How to Detox Emotionally|10 Ayurvedic Practices for Emotional Cleansing
We care for our bodies in many ways; but nourishing meals, regular exercise, and routine check-ups aren’t our only source of health and happiness. Our minds carry emotional imprints that can affect our wellbeing, too. Learn how to improve your mental and physical health.
These days, feeling lousy is status quo. But it doesn’t have to be. According to US News and World Report, 2017 was a record year for unhappiness.
Emotional cleansing helps us to release old feelings and traumas that hold us back, so we can live fully and with joy--in other words, emotional cleansing helps balance Vata, Pitta and Kapha in the body and mind.
What is Emotional Cleansing?
Emotional cleansing is the process of releasing accumulated mental “yuck.” Pranayama, yog-asana, and other Ayurvedic lifestyle tools help instill a sense of balance, wellbeing, and vitality in its place.
“Many clients who benefit from emotional cleansing have anxiety as a chief concern – and almost everyone feels stressed and tired” says Veena.
Emotional imbalances manifest differently in every person. Pitta-type emotions may manifest as impatience, irritability, explosiveness and burning digestion. Vata, on the other hand, may present as sleep troubles, depression, intense stress, exhaustion and constipation.

Seasonal Ayurveda Cleanses
There are countless benefits of Ayurvedic cleansing. Our bodies and minds build up ama - toxins and energetic gunk - as we move throughout the world. Every day, we’re assaulted with more than we can digest: food, stimulation, stress, environmental pollutants... the list goes on and on. An ounce of prevention? What a difference it makes! Regular cleansing helps us reset, repair, rest, and rejuvenate. When the tsunami of stimulation ceases, our bodies and minds know what to do. In the gentle slowness of cleansing time – we heal.
An ounce of prevention? What a difference it makes! Over time, ama - or toxins - can accumulate in our bodies and minds. This makes seasonal cleanses a vital part of an Ayurveda lifestyle. Our 7-day detox programs are customized to your goals, current dosha state and life circumstances, and seasonal challenges where you live. “I was looking for a home cleansing program and Saumya Ayurveda delivered!
