Ayurvedic Spring Cleanse
March 14-25
I look forward to this cleanse every spring. The holiday season is filled with rich food, special drinks, and lots of sweets. And we tend to eat comfort foods and heavier meals with winter’s cold temperatures. It’s all wonderful, but by February and March my system is a bogged down. I’m ready to rekindle my digestive fire and feel more light and clear again.
There are 3 things in particular that I like about a traditional Ayurvedic cleanse:
- My body feels nourished with plenty of delicious food. I don’t feel deprived.
- The daily routines are easy and doable and their benefits often felt immediately.
- It is broken up into three 4-day sections that make it easy to honor and follow.

What is an Ayurvedic cleanse?
Every day 60% of our energy goes towards digesting what we take in to the body! In this cleanse, we eat easy-to-digest foods so the digestive tract doesn’t have to work so hard. This invites the body to rest, repair, and rejuvenate.
An Ayurvedic cleanse pulls toxins out of tissues and into circulation so they can be eliminated. Even though this cleanse is gentle, you may feel occasional ups and downs emotionally and physically. To support you, the Ayurvedic cleanse includes lots of healthy, calming daily routines that nourish you mentally, emotionally, and physically.
A staple food in the cleanse is kitchari (rice, split mung beans, ghee, and spices). Kitchari is easy-to-digest and healing to the digestive tract. Ghee, the primary fat in the cleanse, is also easy to digest and often acceptable by people with a dairy intolerance. For those allergic or who choose not to take ghee, there are alternatives.
Why cleanse in the spring?
The heavier, fatty comfort foods we eat in winter can add weight around the belly and congest the lymphatic system. Our lymph system is critical for detoxifying the body and helping us absorb nutrients. Come spring, the body needs a fat-burning reset.
And according to Ayurveda, spring is considered nature’s New Year, a time of renewal. The practice of cleansing in the spring (and fall) is an important part of an Ayurvedic lifestyle.

May I vary the dates of my cleanse?

If you need to vary your start date by a few days, it is fine. If you are menstruating, it is preferred that you are not bleeding during the main 4-day phase of the cleanse.
Who should NOT do a cleanse at this time?
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding or if your body is in a weakened or debilitated state, cleansing is not recommended. If you are being treated by a doctor for any medical condition, speak with your medical professional before registering for the cleanse.
