- Summer (Pitta Detox): Cooling herbs like coriander, mint, and sandalwood to prevent heat-related imbalances.
- Monsoon (Vata Detox): Herbal decoctions, warm oil massages, and immunity-boosting foods.
- Winter (Kapha-Vata Detox): Nourishing soups, ghee-based diet, and steam therapy to counter cold-induced imbalances.
Key Detox Therapies

- Panchakarma Therapy: Deep detox and rejuvenation.
- Herbal Fasting: Light fasting with fruit juices and herbal teas.
- Daily Rituals (Dinacharya): Tongue scraping, oil pulling, and meditation for holistic cleansing.
