Suggestions about eating, diet, exercise, yoga and breathing techniques/pranayama. Not everybody is suited for ashtanga yoga, raw vegetables, fresh squeezed fruit juices or nuts and seeds. Your constitution, age, the season and what you are eating play a major role of what you should have and do and what not. To change from a diseased body to a healthy one, your mind has to change first.

Ayurvedic Detoxification: NEW TREATMENT

An ancient way to detoxify our body. Herbal oil will be applied generously all over the body to soften the skin and draw out the toxins. Hot steam is applied by sitting in a steam box. The hot steam opens up the pores of the skin, letting the oil deeper into the tissue, where it absorbs the toxins (from food, pollution or emotional) and eliminates it through the GI tract. This treatment increases circulation, cleanses the channels and reduces muscle pain and tension. It fights colds, coughs, flu, speeds up the metabolism which leads to a reduction in fat and cellulites. A brilliant way to relax as well...

Sweat applied to a unwell persons liquefy impurities hidden in minute channels.

Charka: Sidd. Ch. 1, verse 8
