Purification And Detoxification Methods
All You Need to Know About the Purification and Detoxification Methods
Detoxification Methods:- As per the science of Ayurveda, Ama is the source of all the diseases of the human body. Ama occurs due to the harmful toxins and it forms as a thick and sticky layer over the tissues. Bad eating habits, consuming harmful foods, and having an unhealthy lifestyle can cause the occurrence of these toxins.
The toxins from the body spread throughout the body via the body, and start accumulating. Once this happens over a period, the human body is affected. While some of the toxins can be cleansed by working out and through sweat, the fat-soluble toxins are hard to be released. These thus disrupt the regular bodily functions and can cause physical as well as physiological loss.

Basti

Nasya
Nasya is an inhalation therapy, which not only cleanses the nostrils, and the air passages in the body, but also helps get rid of the sinuses and various breathing illnesses. Warm, herbal oil is gently massaged over the face, head, and chest, and said areas are heated after the procedure. Once this is completed, the patient is made to inhale herbal steam, which again is followed by a gargling of warm water.
Nasya as a treatment is also recommended for treating various health issues like facial paralysis, migraines, sinusitis, cataract, and more.
Vamana
Vamana is also called “therapeutic vomiting” and is a widely used procedure to purify and detoxify the body. The procedure uses a herbal oil that is massaged on the back and the chest. After this, the toxins are mobilized using heat, and a herbal decoction is given which induces vomiting.
This therapy is used to treat various health ailments like cough and cold, indigestion, and sinusitis. It is also used for the treatment of nausea, asthma, and tonsillitis.
