“THE LION OF CASTOR OIL ALONE CAN KILL THE MADDENED ELEPHANT Of VATA AS IT STAMPEDES THROUGH THE BODY

Ayurvedic Detox - Castor oil and Ginger


This reduces excess Vata.
Vata, the air energy which governs movement, is actually the force which moves the other doshas to become imbalanced and also the cause of dehydration, muscle wasting, insomnia, anxiety, irregular digestion (resulting in bloating).  
Like a strong wind breezing through our bodies, Vata disrupts and dismantles many of our systems. 

This is recommended to reduce and relieve excess mucous and poor circulation that causes fluid congestion in the lungs and plugging vessels up thus impeding blood flow.
This will aide in better digestion, absorption and resilience during the cold, depleting season.


A concoction of castor oil and ginger tea is drunk on an empty stomach every morning for seven days.  
No long prep, no elimination diet.



Directions:
1 tsp of ginger powder 
1 cup water
2 tsps Castor oil
Make an infusion with the ginger and water.
Simmer and reduce to 3/4 cup.
  Then cool it with luke warm water.
Then add the two teaspoons of castor oil.
