In today’s fast-paced life, constant stress, processed food, and screen fatigue weigh us down. Both our bodies and minds begin to crave a reset. Ayurveda, India’s timeless life science, offers a gentle, holistic, and natural path to purification, healing, and renewed energy.

This is not a crash diet—it’s a deeper return to balance. A seven-day Ayurvedic detox helps remove toxins, regulates digestion, restores emotional clarity, and reconnects you with your authentic self—gently, powerfully, and sustainably.

Whether you’re new to Ayurveda or seeking deeper healing, this structured home cleanse will guide your transformation. For a deeper, supported experience, explore immersive Ayurvedic detox retreats offered by Salva Health Stays.

Why Ayurvedic Detox?

Modern lifestyles disrupt Agni (digestive fire), leading to Ama (toxic buildup). This can manifest as bloating, fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, skin issues, and hormonal imbalances. Ayurveda resets the body’s natural intelligence by cleansing the gut, liver, lymphatic system, and mind. A 7-day detox can significantly improve:

• Gut health and metabolism.
• Hormonal balance and sleep
• Emotional resilience and mental clarity
• Skin radiance and immunity
• And most importantly—a sense of inner peace

Why Choose an Ayurvedic Detox Retreat Instead?

While a home cleanse offers a great start, a retreat deepens the detox, allowing therapies to reach deep-rooted physical and emotional toxins.

Panchakarma treatments like Basti, Virechana, and Pinda Sweda clear long-held imbalances.

You’re immersed in nature. No distractions. A skilled Ayurvedic therapist guides you. Oils seep into your tissues. Breath softens. Trauma unwinds. Healing becomes effortless.

Salva Health Stays offers handpicked retreats across India—from Kerala’s beaches to the Himalayas, where certified doctors and traditional therapies help you reset completely.

Who Is This Detox For?

• Working professionals facing burnout
• Women with hormonal imbalances (PCOS, PMS, perimenopause)
• Those suffering anxiety, emotional fatigue, or insomnia
• Anyone seeking a natural method to detox and restore
• Health travellers and spiritual seekers exploring authentic Ayurveda
