Internal Cleansing and Elimination Ayurvedic theory describes how the vast majority of diseases are created by the slow accumulation of toxins and impurities that localize in tissues of the body and disrupt the delicate biochemistry there.

The body has a tremendous self-repair capacity that allows it to constantly purify itself of toxins and prevent circulation from becoming newarthritistreatments clogged. Many Ayurvedic recommendations can be given to help keep these natural internal cleansing processes strong and vibrant. The Ayurvedic approach helps both prevent further build-up of impurities and aids in the removal of the blockages that have already accumulated. Gentle and effective natural internal cleansing regimens can also be recommended that help dissolve and eliminate impurities that have been obstructing proper bodily function. One of the oldest systems of natural and preventative medicine in the world, the 5,000-year-old art of Ayurveda focuses on achieving equilibrium among the three kinds of energy, or doshas, found in the body: vata, pitta, and kapha.
