Ayurvedic wisdom provides the most effective and individualised approach to cleansing our bodies and resetting our digestive energy, without depletion or starving!
According to Ayurveda, unbalanced or weak digestion is the source of all disease as it creates harmful by-products and toxins called “ama”. Ama is gently coaxed from your system during your cleanse with individualised understanding from your Certified Ayurvedic practitioner, Issani. Longer retreats will confer deeper cleansing and renewal.
According to Ayurveda, cleansing is best addressed by having a light, easily digestible diet in a relaxed setting. Periods of gentle fasting can be woven though your retreat if you are suited to it.
Kitchari, a blend of split mung dhal and basmati rice, slowly cooked with a variety of vegetables and carefully selected digestive spices makes an easily assimilated nourishing meal that is the mainstay of your Ayurvedic Cleanse & Reset Retreat. Alternatives are available if you can’t tolerate legumes. Servings of fresh lightly cooked greens, fresh garnishes and digestive chutneys are offered. Enjoy light breakfasts of tropical fresh fruits. Mid meal fresh coconut water or organic green juices with freshly picked turmeric and ginger. A delicious digestive salad or an Ayurvedic soup is served for dinner along with vegetable chapattis.
Digestive Ayurvedic herbs and herbal tea blends to assist your cleanse will be carefully selected by Issani to suit your body-mind.
The small amounts of ghee or coconut oil eaten daily will gently soften, tone and draw impurities into digestive tract where they are eliminated in the usual way, with some assistance from safe Ayurvedic herbs.
Yoga and Pranayama techniques to enliven your digestive “fire” are practiced daily.
The mind and emotions are cleansed through especially chosen, Relaxation, and Meditation practices.
Your daily retreat schedule leaves time to explore the magical Daintree Rainforest and beaches. Mild, not robust exercise is encouraged during your cleanse.
RECOMMENDED FOR
- calming and balancing digestive issues | gentle weight loss | mind and body reset
- mental and emotional clarity | increased energy levels | de-stressing
Balance your digestive “fire” by eating just enough to be satisfied, so the energy of digestion is not overtaxed. This allows extra energy to get busy cleansing and rebuilding your tissues, de-toxifying whilst creating cellular renewal.
You won’t be hungry! However, you will only eat when you are hungry.
Whether you are over or underweight, toning and enlivening your digestion can only benefit your ability to extract nutrition from your food and harmonise your metabolism.
This retreat will infuse you with Ayurvedic understanding to take forward into your future.
Once your dates are booked, you will receive individualised Ayurvedic guidance on simplifying your diet before your cleanse along with personalised guidance for post retreat diet and lifestyle is also included.
