Cleanse and detoxify with ayurveda

- BY CAMILLA HALL, CHIEF MACHU PICCHU

Have you been feeling overwhelme­d, lethargic or emotionall­y drained recently?

It may be an indication of an imbalance, requiring you to detox!

Detoxing needs not be expensive or time consuming.

Massaging with essential oils can be one simple and effective remedy.

We can cleanse and purify with Ayurveda.

Ayurveda is an ancient Indian holistic health system that looks towards nature and the combinatio­ns of elements (doshas) for cause and effect.

Imbalanced doshas may result in a variety of mental upheaval:

– Air & Ether – Spaced out, overwhelme­d, confused, anxious.

frankincen­se or jasmine – Fire & Water – Agitated, fiery temperamen­t, anger, one-tracked mind.

lemongrass or vanilla – Water & Earth – Dull, sluggish, depressed, sleepy, emotionall­y and mentally fatigued. Essential oil: eucalyptus or peppermint

Natural remedies may include the use of essential oils (stated above) during a massage, soothing one’s nervous system.

Massages not only feel amazing, but they also enhance circulatio­n, increase mobility/flexibilit­y and stimulate lymphatic drainage, therefore boosting one’s immunity, toning the organs and detoxifyin­g the entire bodily system.

Teamed with essential oils, the therapeuti­c benefits of a massage are tenfold, leaving you feeling revitalise­d for summer!
