8-day Ayurvedic Detox by WOW · Keep this with you every day
🔥
The golden rule: Never eat or drink anything cold — cold shuts down your digestive fire (agni). All smoothies, soups, and water must be warm or at room temperature. Your main meal is always at midday (11 AM–2 PM) when agni is strongest.

✰ Ayurvedic practices to introduce
Choose one or two to begin. Build gradually — this is not about perfection.
- 👅 Tongue scraping — morning and before bed; removes toxins that accumulate overnight
- 💧 Warm water on waking — 1–2 glasses to awaken the digestive system
- 🌙 Early bedtime — aim for 10 PM; the body detoxifies deeply during sleep
- 🧘 Meditation or breathwork — even 5–10 minutes each morning
- 🌿 Gentle morning yoga — during Kapha time (6–10 AM) to counter heaviness
- 🧴 Abhyanga (warm oil self-massage) — optional; loosens toxins from tissues before a warm shower
- 🍽️ Mindful eating — eat in a calm space, chew thoroughly, no screens
✗ Remove completely
- Animal protein
- Dairy
- Gluten & wheat
- Refined sugar
- Caffeine (coffee, mate, tea)
- Alcohol
- Ultra-processed foods
- Anything cold
✓ Embrace fully
- Fresh organic fruits & vegetables
- Cooked whole grains & legumes
- Nuts, seeds & nut butters
- Ghee & coconut oil
- Warming spices (turmeric, ginger, cumin, cardamom)
- CCF tea & Tulsi tea
- 8–12 glasses warm water daily
- Everything warm or room temperature
🌿 Daily Supplements — throughout the full 8 days
Triphala (before bed)
Tulsi (tea — morning or evening)
Turmeric
Ashwagandha
CCF Tea (after meals)
⚠ Temperature reminder: Cold food and drinks — including smoothies straight from the blender or fridge — shut down agni. If a smoothie is cold, warm it gently in a pot first. Soups are always served hot. Water is always warm or room temperature. This applies every single day of the program.
