Reset, Restore, Renew

An Ayurvedic seasonal cleanse is not deprivation — it is nourishment. A guided, gentle reset aligned with nature's rhythms to clear what's accumulated, rekindle your digestive fire, and return you to clarity.

A Cleanse That Works With Your Body

In Ayurveda, every season brings a shift in the five elements — and over time, our bodies accumulate ama (undigested residue) when we don’t adjust with it. This buildup is the root of fatigue, congestion, brain fog, sluggish digestion, and dull skin.

An Ayurvedic seasonal cleanse works differently from any detox you’ve tried. It is not about restriction — it is about gently supporting the body’s own natural intelligence. Through specific foods, herbs, routines, and practices timed to the seasonal window, we create the conditions for deep, safe, sustainable clearing.

Amita designs each cleanse individually — not a generic protocol, but a program shaped around your Prakriti, your current imbalances, and your life.

Clears ama — the root cause of most imbalances
Rekindles Agni (digestive fire) for lasting vitality
Fully individualized to your constitution
Gentle and nourishing — not depleting
Available in-person (El Cerrito, CA) or virtual

"I did the spring cleanse with Amita's guidance and it felt like my whole body exhaled. Clearer skin, better sleep, and the brain fog I'd normalized for years just — lifted."

How It Works

A clear, supported process from preparation to post-cleanse rebuilding.

1

Assessment Call

We begin with a consultation to assess your constitution, current ama levels, digestive strength, and determine the right cleanse length and approach for you.

2

Pre-Cleanse Preparation

3–5 days of dietary preparation that signals your body to begin releasing — gradually shifting away from heavy foods and building the digestive clarity needed.

3

Active Cleanse Phase

The main cleanse window — specific foods, herbal preparations, daily practices, and regular check-ins. You are guided and supported throughout every day.

4

Rebuilding & Reintegration

Just as important as the cleanse itself — a post-cleanse protocol to rebuild tissues gently, restore Ojas, and carry your renewed vitality forward.

A Seasonal Cleanse May Be Right If...

You don't need to feel "sick" to benefit from a cleanse. Most people who seek seasonal cleansing are functioning well — but feeling a subtle heaviness, dullness, or disconnect they can't quite name.

You feel sluggish, heavy, or foggy — especially in spring
Your digestion is slow, bloated, or inconsistent
You're carrying weight that won't shift despite clean eating
Your skin is dull, congested, or breaking out
You feel mentally clouded or emotionally stuck
You want a genuine reset — not just a quick detox
You're ready to recommit to your health seasonally

Understanding Ama & Agni

The two forces at the heart of every Ayurvedic cleanse

🌫️
Ama — undigested residue
Accumulates in channels and tissues when Agni is weak. Causes heaviness, dullness, congestion, and disease over time.
🔥
Agni — digestive intelligence
The metabolic fire that transforms food and experience into nourishment. A seasonal cleanse rekindles it at every level.

Common Questions

During the active cleanse phase, yes — you'll follow a simplified, nourishing diet centered on kitchari (an easily digestible rice-and-lentil dish) with supportive foods. This is deliberate: the simplicity allows your digestive system to rest and do deep work. The preparation and post-cleanse phases are more varied. Amita works with you to ensure the protocol is sustainable for your lifestyle.

Most clients do. Ayurvedic cleanses are designed to work with your life, not against it. The 7- and 14-day programs are calibrated to allow normal professional function. You'll be asked to reduce intense exercise, screen time, and social obligations — but you won't need to take time off unless you choose to.

The most powerful seasonal windows are spring (March–April) and autumn (September–October). These transitional periods align with natural shifts in Kapha and Vata respectively, making the body most receptive to clearing. That said, cleanses can be done at other times depending on your constitution and current state.

Herbal recommendations are included as part of your cleanse protocol. Supplements are not provided directly — Amita will recommend specific formulations and where to source them. All recommendations are reviewed against any current medications to ensure safety. Costs for herbs are separate and vary by program length.

Juice cleanses and fasts can actually increase Vata and leave the system more depleted and anxious. Ayurvedic cleanses are warming, grounding, and nourishing. We don't deplete to cleanse — we support the body's own channels to release what is ready. Most clients feel genuinely restored, not exhausted.
