Prevention over cure is the model of Ayurveda. On top of daily routines and good eating habits, Since the dawn of time, Ayurveda has recommended seasonal regimens in the ritu carya or seasonal routines to preserve health and cleanse the body. Especially during the change of seasons, the mind and body complex experiences change the same way nature does. The body and nature go through cycles throughout the year. Indeed, nature has 4 seasons.
Oleation Phase
Each season has its own energetic composition:
In Winter, nature goes into hibernation, and stores energy in its soil. The cold, stable, heavy smooth qualities are increasing. Ayurveda says that it is the Kapha season because Kapha is made of the same qualities (cold, heavy, dense, smooth, stable, cloudy, and gross). Since Kapha increases in nature, and we are part of nature, the changes outside reflect changes inside. The body gathers nutrients to handle the cooler temperature, and Kapha accumulate.
When Spring comes, the sun’s energy increases melting the ice and the accumulated Kapha in nature and in the body. The sticky and heavy Kapha flows in its site. If left unchecked, we may experience itching in the eyes and throat, weight gain, lethargy, and cold symptoms. This is why Ayurveda recommends a seasonal cleanse in the transition between winter and spring to counteract the effects caused by excess Kapha.
Summer is the heating season; it hypes the heat in the body and depletes the tissues. It is essential to stay hydrated and consume sweet tastes to pacify the Pitta energy. Indeed, Pitta is made of fire and water. The fire contained in the sun increases Pitta in nature and in the body.
In the Fall season, wind, and cold return. All the dryness that accumulated in summer is exacerbated. Once again, Ayurveda recommends a seasonal cleanse to get rid of the excess Vata. Vata is made of air and ether. If Vata stays in excess in the body, we may experience bloated sensations, constipation, an unsteady mind, insomnia, and anxiety.
What to expect during the cleanse?
3 phases
Preparative Phase
We focus on kindling the digestive fire and removing undigested particles from the gut. Aama is undigested particles in the body that become toxic. This phase can start even sooner (3 to 4 weeks before) the main depending on the current condition. That is why there is no reason to wait before booking the cleanse. The sooner you schedule the cleanse, the better prepared you will be. During the preparatory phase, we only focus on diet and lifestyle changes. With the addition of herbal formulations, your body will better digest food, and even digest toxins. This is an area where Ayurveda shines. Indeed, you will get so much benefit from knowing what diet and lifestyle habits are conducive to your health.
Oleation Phase
During this phase, you will internally and externally oleate the body. You will internally take a medicated ghee. This will bring all the toxins which are stuck and well seated in the limbs to the gut, for a quick exit. At the end of the oleating phase, we will perform the elimination therapy. All the toxins which were pushed to the gut get completely removed from the body.
Rejuvenative Phase
Consider it as an interior renovation. When you remove old paint from the walls, cracks, and dents might appear. They need to be filled and polished. Rasayana does that to your body. It nourishes the weak spots, leaving you stronger and more able to handle future stress. Moreover, renovation may take more time and attention than others. In the same way, Rasayana could last longer depending on the need.
