It's amazing
how Maharishi Ayurveda takes every aspect of detoxification into account. We
can see why it's considered to be the most comprehensive system of health
care in the world. It's also the safest, because it doesn't just focus on
one isolated aspect of detoxification, but gently supports all aspects of
detoxification at once.
A:
I think the key
to detox, and to all of Maharishi Ayurveda, is balance. What creates
imbalance in detoxification is extremes: too much heat, too much force, or
too much attention to one organ (such as the bowel, the colon, or the liver)
without coordinating all the body's detoxification organs and systems. There
also needs to be careful attention to preparing the body for detoxification.
Even Ayurvedic treatments such as panchakarma can be dangerous if they are
not administered properly. Maharishi Panchakarma follows the traditional
preparation process of first regulating the agni and lubricating and
loosening the toxins with oleation.
It's important to know that detoxification should always be soothing and
nurturing. It should never be drying or aggravating to the doshas. If you
are doing any detox programme that makes you feel drained or exhausted, or
results in symptoms of disease, that is not a safe or balanced detox
programme. With Maharishi Ayurveda, you gain the full value of
detoxification without creating any new imbalances. And that is what makes
it a perfect system of health care.
