Course Description
Our bodies are remarkably intelligent organisms, working to cleanse and regenerate each day. Yet, in a world of daily stressors, increased environmental toxins and imbalanced routines, our physical and mental digestion can become taxed. The routine practice of systematic cleansing is a keystone in an Ayurvedic lifestyle. Not only does a cleanse help our bodies and routines transition and align to a new season, but it restores digestion to its optimal functioning state. This module covers the signs and symptoms of an overburdened system, the key aims of cleansing, and when and how to design a purposeful home cleanse.
