Detox is the process of getting rid of toxins in the body. This process removes waste that is accumulated for a long period due to unhealthy diets and lifestyles. Before knowing about detox let us know the causes of the accumulation of toxins in the body.
Types of Body Toxins
There are two types of toxins
- Internal toxins
- External toxins.
Internal Toxins:
Internal toxins are liberated inside our body due to biological processes like metabolism, emotions, imbalance of gut flora, or friendly microorganisms which are present in our digestive system. Any imbalance in the above-mentioned biological activities causes the liberation of loads of toxins. Usually, toxins are filtered and eliminated by the kidneys, intestines, liver, and skin. When there is a load of toxins in your body these organs fail to eliminate them completely and toxins start accumulating in the body.
External Toxins
External toxins are those which are introduced to the body through external sources like environmental pollution, processed foods, pesticides, medicines, etc. These enter our body when we use water, air, food, or external applications on the skin.
Body Toxin in Ayurveda
Ayurveda acharyas explained body toxins thousands of years ago. According to the principles of Ayurveda, our body metabolism is mainly dependent on Agni or digestive fire. (Read Ayurveda Agni or Body Fire or Metabolism and Digestion Process)This digestive fire is responsible for all metabolic activities that happen in our bodies. For optimum functioning of the body and elimination of toxins, the body fire has to be always in a balanced condition. Imbalanced Agni causes the accumulation of toxins. These toxins are collectively known as ‘ama’ in Ayurveda. The toxin ‘ama’ is sticky in nature and blocks channels or ‘srotas’ of the body. Blocked channels obstruct the easy flow of body fluids like blood, lymph, hormones, enzymes, molecules, etc. This affects body functions. When there is an imbalance of three energetic forces or tridosha (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, the Agni or body fire also get imbalanced. An Ayurveda detox helps to balance Agni or body fire, expel ‘ama’ and restore normal function of the body.
Symptoms of toxin accumulation:
When ama or toxin gets accumulated you may have the following symptoms. Also, we recommend you consult a physician to rule out other causes for these symptoms.
Coating on tongue
When a large amount of toxin circulates in the body, a thick coating will be present on the tongue which will not go even after cleaning with a tongue cleaner. You may also lose the sense of taste.
Bad breath
A bad or foul-smelling breath is the first indication of toxin accumulation. No amount of brushing or gargling helps to get rid of bad breath. Oil pulling helps to get rid of bad breath.
Recurrent Constipation or lose Motions:
If you are not happy with the morning bowel emptying, then it is an indication of accumulation of ama. Both diarrhea and constipation cause klaibya or erectile dysfunction in men.
Unexplained Consistent Fatigue:
Sometimes you may experience fatigue even after a good sleep or rest. The mind feels lethargic and unwilling to do any work. This happens because of blockage of body channels or ‘srotas’. This is known as ‘srotovarodha’ in Ayurveda. Body fatigue makes men uninterested in sex and they may land into erectile dysfunction or Impotence.
Unable to Lose weight
Even with a good exercise routine and healthy low-calorie food, you may not be able to lose weight. This happens because ama or body toxin is pulling down the rate of metabolism.
Muscles and Joint Pain
Pain in muscles and joints is very common when body toxins levels are high. Muscle cramps and stiffened joints restrict your movements. This hinders performance in bed.
The heaviness of the Head and the headache
Repeated headaches may start troubling your daily routine and drain your energy. Loss of energy is the main cause of ED or Impotence.

Stop the causes
Stop the diets and lifestyles which are pumping toxins into your body. In your diet, avoid processed foods, junk foods, processed meat, and aerated drinks.

Drink plenty of clean water. Around 2 to 3 liters of water per day helps to flush out the toxins. Ayurveda acharyas recommend drinking 7-8 glasses of warm water per day to get rid of ama. Drinking a glass of warm water with a teaspoon of honey and lemon juice helps as the best detox drink. This has to be consumed first thing in the morning.
Exercise Regularly:
