Fall Cleanse

Perfect for the post-summer transition into winter

Why Fall Cleansing is Essential

After summer’s intense heat (Pitta accumulation), your body often feels overheated, inflamed, or depleted. As fall arrives and early winter approaches, Vata energy (light, dry, cold, mobile) rises, which can disturb digestion and nervous system balance.

Fall Cleanse Focus

The fall cleanse emphasizes grounding, cooling, and nourishing practices. It rebuilds strength while gently clearing excess Pitta and stabilizing Vata energy.

Organs & Systems Supported:

• Liver and Gallbladder – releases summer’s heat and acidity
• Intestines/Colon – balances Vata, prevents dryness, constipation, and anxiety
• Skin and Blood – clears excess heat accumulated from summer

Fall Cleanse Protocol

Nourishing Foods:

• Warm, moist, slightly oily foods (soups, stews, kitchari with ghee)
• Sweet, grounding grains (rice, oats, quinoa)
• Root vegetables (carrots, beets, sweet potatoes, squash)
• Cooling yet nourishing spices (coriander, fennel, cardamom, small amounts of cinnamon)
• Ghee and sesame oil for internal lubrication

Supportive Herbs:

• Triphala – supports gentle colon cleansing
• Aloe Vera or Manjistha – cooling for liver and blood purification
• Ashwagandha – nourishes nervous system, counterbalances Vata

Healing Therapies:

• Abhyanga – warm oil massage with sesame or ashwagandha oil
• Svedhana – gentle sweat therapy to release heat and toxins after oiling
• Gentle Yoga & Pranayama – alternate nostril breathing, grounding poses
