According to classical Ayurvedic wisdom, Autumn is one of the most ideal times to eliminate Ama (toxins), especially when it's done gently and in rhythm with nature. Ama is known as the root cause of disease—a heavy, sticky substance formed when food, thoughts, or experiences are not fully digested. It blocks the channels of the body and mind, and creates imbalance.
You don’t need an extreme cleanse—Ayurveda is all about gentle, sustainable support. Here are some of our favourite ways to clear Ama:
Triphala – The Gentle Detoxifier
Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) – The Rejuvenating Cleanser
Ayurveda The Science of Self-Healing is perhaps the best general and practical introduction to Ayurveda. It is written by a well-known Indian Ayurvedic doctor, Vasant Lad, who has been practicing in the USA for decades.
