DETOX - Day 10
PHASE TWO
Healthy Vitality
Ayurveda is a philosophy of life and it teaches us how to maintain balance amidst change. Vitality is often correlated with Ojas, which is the collective essence of all the seven tissues and is responsible for radiant health. Respecting our Agni(digestive fires), building ojas and cultivating a spiritual outlook are the keys for a Vital Life. Ayurveda is consciousness based science for health and healing and it simply states that surrounding yourself with positive vibrations leads to good health.
We are like a colorful tapestry woven together of our environment and our senses, along with our body, mind and spirit. As a human being we are a network of energy and information in another vast ocean of energy and information. Keeping the bodies clean is the first step towards feeling Vital and energetic.
Special ayurvedic preparations, called Rasayanas, help strengthen the immune system and enable us to maintain youthful vigor up to a good old age. Rasayanas convert easily into ojas, which supports vitality, bliss, intelligence and higher states of consciousness. As ojas increases, the skin becomes lustrous, the eyes sparkling, the temperament stable and blissful, the mind intelligent and calm, and the body free of disease.
Of all the Rasayanas, Amalaki is revered as one of the most potent and nourishing. The Charaka Samhita (one of the ancient ayurvedic texts) says, "Amalaki is the best among rejuvenative herbs." Organic Premium Amla Berry is a Rasayana made from very pure, traditionally harvested and prepared Amalaki. This is a small fruit that balances all three doshas because it contains five of the six tastes — sweet, sour, bitter, astringent and pungent — and is both heavy and dry in quality. It is good for all seasons, all weather conditions, and all body types. Amalaki is a small deciduous tree with gray bark and reddish wood that grows in India. Organic Premium Amla Berry and Amrit Kalash Nectar use only the fully ripened fruit, which is smooth on the outside, about one-half to one inch in diameter, with many seeds. The ripe fruit is yellowish-pink and sour when you bite into it. After it mixes with saliva or water, it becomes sweet.
