SPECIAL TOPIC – INTERNAL CLEANSING
A mother and school teacher talks about her experience doing the Maharishi Ayurveda Internal Cleansing programme.
“I was having bad breath a lot, not just sometimes in the morning, and I had major bags under my eyes and low energy. I was having moods a lot; irritability when I was teaching. So I decided to do something about it.”
“I didn’t have enough time or money to do residential Panchakarma, and I read an article about Maharishi Ayurveda Internal Cleansing, so I went to the website about it and filled in the questionnaire that helps you decide if it’s OK for you to do it.”
“It seems that if you have a few complaints like I had it’s OK to do the home programme, but if you have more complaints or more serious symptoms it’s better to consult the Ayurvedic doctor and do the residential programme.”

DR BRENNAN’S TIPS FOR FEBRUARY
“In February we should think a bit more about exercise.”
“February is a continuation of the Kapha season, and since Kapha has qualities of being sluggish and dull and stable and grounded, the opposite qualities will bring balance, and exercise more than anything else brings movement and lightness and quickness, and stimulates the system.”
“Exercise is excellent to stimulate all the body’s metabolisms and thereby to burn off toxins which otherwise gather. So it flushes out tissues and causes a feeling of renewal.”
Dr Donn Brennan's Health Tips for February
