The 48-Hour Weekend Reset
You service your car every 6 months. When was the last time you serviced your body? Flush out accumulated Ama (Toxins) with this gentle Ayurvedic Home Cleanse.
Understanding Ama
Ama is sticky, undigested toxic sludge that clogs your channels (Srotas). It prevents nutrients from reaching cells and prevents waste from leaving.
We need to:
- Loosen the Ama (using Ghee).
- Bring it to the stomach (using Heat).
- Flush it out (using Castor Oil).
Do you need a detox? Check list.
- Thick white coating on tongue morning.
- Waking up tired even after 8 hours sleep.
- Body odour or bad breath.
- Constant bloating.
If you have 3+ signs, proceed below.
The Weekend Plan
Morning
Drink 2 tbsp melted Pure Ghee on empty stomach with hot water. This lubricates the channels ("Snehana").
Meals
Eat ONLY Kitchari (Rice + Moong Dal) for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. No veggies, no snacking.
Night
Take 1 tsp Triphala with warm water.
6:00 AM
Drink 2 tbsp Castor Oil mixed in half cup warm ginger tea / orange juice. (Stay near a toilet!).
Morning
You will pass stool 3-5 times. The first will be solid, then liquid. Sip hot water only.
Lunch
Once appetite returns strongly, eat very thin Rice Gruel (Kanji).
Best Detox Recipe: Kitchari

- 1/2 cup Basmati Rice
- 1/2 cup Yellow Moong Dal (Soaked)
- 1 tsp Ghee
- 1 tsp Cumin, Mustard, Turmeric
- 4 cups Water (Make it soupy)
Method: Sauté spices in ghee. Add rice/dal. Add water. Pressure cook 3 whistles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will I feel weak?
Sunday morning you might feel a bit light-headed as toxins leave. Rest is mandatory. By Sunday evening, you will feel lighter and clearer than ever.
Q: Who should NOT do this?
Pregnant/Breastfeeding women, children, weak elderly people, or anyone with active diarrhea.
Q: Can I drink coffee?
No caffeine during detox. It taxes the liver which we are trying to clean. Herbal teas only.
"I was skeptical about the Castor Oil purge. But on Sunday evening, I felt like a light was switched on in my brain. The 2 days of Kitchari gave my gut the break it desperately needed."
