Yogic Detox Program 8 Days

• Before beginning the Yogic Detox, it’s crucial to be fully committed and mentally prepared to adhere to the detox guidelines. Any negligence could pose health risks. This detox process is powerful and offers significant benefits, but it demands a high level of dedication.
• Be ready to openly discuss your bodily experiences during the Shankhaprakshalana process. Ensure you have appropriate yoga attire, a yoga mat (available on site), a blanket to cover yourself, and a small towel. The practice will be scheduled for a day when the weather, climate, and temperature are conducive.
• On the evening before the practice, consume a light meal by 8 pm at the latest. Do not eat anything on the morning of the detox. Fasting is an option, but it should be decided in consultation with a yoga instructor.

• Following the Shankhaprakshalana, you may initially feel tired, but this will subside with rest. Despite the fatigue, resist the urge to sleep for the day. Post-detox, participants often report feeling euphoric and engage in deep reflection. Be prepared for a range of emotions and thoughts during recovery.
• To prevent fever or chills, keep your body warm, using a blanket if necessary. Avoid strenuous mental and physical activities, travel, exposure to intense sunlight, sitting near fire, and any exercise or stress.
• After completing the Shankhaprakshalana practice, a deep cleansing yogic detox, it’s important to carefully select foods that facilitate the body’s healing and recovery process. The dietary regimen post-detox is crucial to maintain the benefits of the cleanse and avoid putting undue stress on the digestive system. Here’s a comprehensive list of foods to avoid after the practice:
  • • Fried Foods: Foods that are deep-fried or cooked in excessive oil can be hard to digest and may stress the newly cleansed digestive tract.
    • Processed Foods: These often contain additives, preservatives, and high levels of sodium or sugar, which can disrupt the balance of the gut flora and hinder the digestive process.
    • Sweet Foods: Especially those with refined sugars, as they can lead to spikes in blood sugar levels and potentially cause inflammation.
    • Fatty Foods: High-fat foods, particularly those with unhealthy fats (like trans fats found in many fast foods), can be difficult to digest and may slow down the recovery process of the gut.
    • Meats: Especially red and processed meats, which are harder to digest and can put a strain on the digestive system. They may also reintroduce toxins that the detox aimed to eliminate.
    • Spices and Spicy Foods: Can irritate the gut lining, especially when it’s in a delicate state post-detox. This includes hot peppers, black pepper, and any heavily spiced dishes.
    • Alcohol: It’s dehydrating and can disrupt the natural flora of the gut, affecting the body’s ability to absorb nutrients and recover post-detox.
    • Smoking: Introducing toxins through smoking can negate the benefits of the detox and harm the respiratory and digestive systems.
    • Nuts: While generally healthy, nuts are high in fats and fiber, which can be tough on a sensitive digestive system immediately after a cleanse.
    • Dairy Products: Milk, cheese, yogurt, and other dairy products can be difficult to digest for many people and may cause discomfort or slow the digestive process after a cleanse.
    • Caffeinated Beverages: Coffee, tea, and energy drinks can stimulate the digestive system too much, disrupting its natural rhythm and balance after the detox.
    • Acidic Fruits: Fruits like oranges, pineapples, and grapefruits are acidic and might irritate the stomach lining immediately following a detox.
