10 day ayurvedic seasonal cleanses

"I did the cleanse and felt like a new woman at the end of the week. ALL of my bloating and stomach discomfort went away. I was able to start falling asleep easier (without feeling the need to take a sleep aid). And I also lost almost 10 pounds. The weight literally melted off of me because I finally gave my system a real break that it so desperately needed."

- Anne Mitchell

Your SEASONAL reset

Cleanses are recommended in both the Fall and Spring seasons. Reason being, the seasons greatly affect us - physically, mentally, and emotionally! Ever noticed that in the Fall we are more susceptible to colds and flus, and in the Spring we are more susceptible to seasonal allergies and sinus issues? These two seasons are when a lot of change and transformation are occurring around us in the natural world, and therefore simultaneously within our bodies. Cleanses allow your body to remove toxins, strengthen immunity, improve digestion, and enhance mental clarity and calmness. What to Expect During an Ayurvedic Cleanse

WHAT DO I EAT?

A traditional Ayurvedic cleanse involves a mono-diet of kitchari, a comforting and nutritious dish I like to think of as India’s version of "grandma's chicken noodle soup." Made with basmati rice, mung beans, vegetables, healthy oils, digestive spices, and a variety of toppings, kitchari is a complete protein packed with fiber and nutrients. Its star ingredient, mung beans, is known for its detoxifying properties and easy digestibility. Mono diets allow your body to know what to expect - so your body can focus less on processing and digesting, and more on healing and revitalizing. 

Prefer more variety? No problem! Cleanses can be personalized to include modern options like oatmeal, bone broth, salmon, and cooked vegetables, so you can still experience the benefits with a more diverse diet.

Why Cleanse?

Our bodies are exposed to toxins daily—through food, products, and the environment. Thankfully, your body is brilliant at protecting you, storing toxins in biofilms inside fat cells and tissues to keep them away from vital organs. How genius our bodies are! But let's get those toxins OUT of the system - where they belong. Ayurvedic cleanses recognize that your brilliant body knows exactly how to detox and cleanse, it just needs to be given the proper environment to do so. Then, those stored-away toxins can be flushed out of the body's tissues and instead into the toilet, leaving you feeling clean and clear! 

  • Proven Results: Studies show that a 5–7 day cleanse can reduce blood toxins by 30–70%.

  • Discover Your Food Triggers: Post-cleanse, you’ll reintroduce foods gradually to identify which ones nourish you and which ones cause imbalance. Think of it as a mini-elimination diet!

A Whole-Body Reset

Cleanses are a mind + body + spirit reset. Beyond the detoxifying diet and eating guidelines, cleanses are a time for rest, relaxation, and listening to your body's wisdom. Different practices are often incorporated to enhance the experience and the quality of the cleanse including meditations, sauna, hot baths, and abhyanga (aka warm self body oil massage - YUM!).

WHY Is this detox different?

  • It is not a time of starvation, fasting, or intense deprivation that you might experience in other cleanses. Ayurvedic cleanses encourage deep nourishment and rejuvenation. You eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You drink herbal teas. You prioritize your sleep and rest. You take note of what you are digesting with your five senses. To me, Ayurvedic cleanses are like an at-home spa experience where you have the excuse to pamper and treat yo'self for an entire week! 

  • It is not a time of harshness. To truly cleanse and heal, the body needs to know you mean business about relaxation, warmth, nourishment, and giving it space to do what it does best. Doing so activates the parasympathetic nervous system - allowing your body to rest and digest toxins fully. Ayurvedic cleanses are all about listening to your body, slowing down, and being mindful. 

  • It is not something you need to drop your whole life for - you can fit it into your schedule and make it work for you! I make this cleanse flexible so that you can create space to cleanse regardless of life's demands. 

“Coming through the experience I feel clear, vital, and more attuned to what my body needs to feel grounded and healthy. Charlotte is a masterful guide, offering simple and detailed resources that make preparation, cleansing, and integration feel safe and easy. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the food and daily practices. And, I really appreciated the invitation to simplify my life for a week, which allowed me to forge a much needed connection to myself. I felt a range of benefits. My skin is glowing. I feel much less inflamed. My digestion feels better. I was able to process and integrate some difficult emotions, leaving me with a greater sense of clarity in my heart space. And, I had a felt sense for how great I feel when I prioritize small behaviors that support my overall wellbeing, many of which I'm bringing forward with me! I am excited to make this cleanse a consistent ritual each fall and spring.”
