Detoxifying the body is important for the overall wellbeing. Ayurveda offers many treatments to detox the body.
Many Ayurvedic can be used for massages at home to manage weight, sleep better, achieve clearer skin, and de-stress.
It is important for one to know if their body constitution is Pitta, Kapha or Vata. You can approach an Ayurvedic doctor to know your body constitution.
For example, Vata and Kapha body types should use warming oils like sesame oil. Pitta people need so cooling oils, such as olive or coconut. Some other oils like Rosemary and Sandalwood are a must have.
Rosemary is known for its memory-enhancing power and anti-depressant properties. Rosemary helps heal halitosis (bad breath), upset stomach, or headaches.
The stimulating properties of rosemary oil fights against depression, fatigue and anxiety. Good old Sandalwood oil has been used forever for enhancing beauty, calming the mind and healing multiple physical and emotional health problems. Sandalwood oil is good for the reproductive and nervous systems, marrows, plasma, muscular and circulatory systems.
It has a cooling effect on the brain. It is also used for reducing pain, inflammation, digestive and respiratory issues.
Treatment in Ayurveda is divided into Shodhana and Shamana i.e. purificatory and palliative therapy respectively. The shodhana therapy includes procedures that eradicate the vitiated humors from the body. eg.Vamana (Emesis), Virechana (Purgation), Vasti (Enema), Nasya (Nasal errhines). The shaman procedure comprises techniques that pacify the doshas or bring them back to normalcy e.g. Deepana (Carminative), Pachana (Digestive), Upavasa (Fasting) etc. These treatments contribute to holistic physical and mental health. But these treatments can be only had at professional Ayurvedic treatment centers.
