Introduction
The SWASTHA program is about slowing and quietening down, fortifying your system and letting go of habits that no longer serve you. It is about tuning in more deeply to your body's wisdom in order to integrate this insight into one's everyday life.
While a structured detox program is a good annual practice for one's body, some practices to which you are introduced in this programme will support your body in a natural cleansing process on a more sustained and regular basis.
Details
On arrival, you will have separate consultation sessions first with the Ayurveda followed by the Naturopathy doctors who together will draw up a personalized diet & regime built around your Dosha/Prakruti chart. Doshas are bio energies an imbalance in which is said to be the root of all ailments and disorders. The doctors will determine your bio energies with a combination of a pulse reading and answers to a questionnaire on your lifestyle and body type.
During the first week of this program you get introduced to and committed to daily yoga, learn how to use Uddiyana Bandha, the Neti pot & Water enema to facilitate the cleansing process and practice meditations to align the body and mind. Daily Yoga sessions supplemented by Ayurveda therapies on alternate days relax and de stress the physical body too.
In a TWO WEEK SWASTHA PROGRAM in the second week, from the 8th day onwards, based on the personalized schedule drawn up on arrival by our Ayurveda Doctors you continue with your therapeutic Ayurveda treatments. The diet during this week remains pure vegetarian and a balanced combination of Naturopathy & Ayurveda based cuisine in prescribed portions. There will be special dietary and lifestyle restrictions placed on you during this time based on your constitution & physical condition.
Diet&Therapies :
Your diet will be a personalized, pure vegetarian diet which will be a balanced combination drawn from the worlds of Naturopathy & Ayurveda. At all meals herbal teas or juices as prescribed by the Naturopathy doctor will be served and together the foods and beverages will support your nutritional needs while encouraging the release of toxins from the body. So while the diet throughout this two - three week program remains Dosha / Prakruti specific and pure vegetarian, during the first seven to ten days it is more of an eliminatory diet using fresh fruit & vegetable juices plus raw foods.
An important ingredient in your diet for the entire duration of this programme will be the regular intake of 'Triphala choorna' at bedtime. This is a nutritious and cleansing blend of three Ayurvedic herbs taken mixed with honey, which further assists in cleansing and maintaining the body.
