Do-s and Don’t-s of SVA Detox! Whether you are doing colon, skin, stomach, nasal, emotional, or any other kind of detox, Ayurveda reminds us that it is important to maintain 3 distinct stages:

• Purv karma or preparation

• Pradhan karma or main action of detox

• Paschat karma or post-‐detox pacification and rejuvenation.

In the SVA tradition, these 3 steps are maintained even when conducting a basic simple detox, like virechana or general purging. However, in order for the detox procedure to be complete and successful, some additional essential points also need to be addressed. Such as:

1. Identify your toxins; how many kinds; how many are you targeting through one detox protocol - one or more? It may sound odd to you that there are different kinds of toxins. Even though Ayurveda discusses this, it is usually glossed over, and practitioners usually only mention and address the most basic one, known as “ama.” But Vaidya’s SVA lineage clarifies the different

categories, and gives specific recommendations for dealing with teach type. Vaidya reminds us that there are primarily 4 types of toxins: • ama – or toxins



made from semi-‐ or un-‐digested food that results when you eat too much, or too heavy, or too soon before your previous meal is fully digested;

• amavisha – which is ama that is left to sit in your body and becomes chemically active and more

acidic overtime – think of it in terms of the trash that you get too lazy to throw out! The more it gets to sit there the stinkier it becomes! That’s amavisha for you: semi-‐digested decomposed substances that emit

toxic acidic fumes, lowering your body’s pH and increasing inflammation overall. But in addition to this, emotional stress also creates amavisha in your body. When you are emotionally upset or stressed out, your body produces different kinds of chemicals to help you cope with the situation, and, in the end, the liver is stuck with having to process these. The liver itself can get aggravated and imbalance results.



• garavisha – these are external toxins that enter our body through environmental chemical

pollution, such as toxic fumes from paint, or abrasive detergents, or

personal care products that contain preservatives, synthetic scents, and additives. This type of toxic build-‐up is very slow but steady. It takes sometimes years to surface but causes deep tissue damage. Throw out that anti-‐perspirant deodorant that contains aluminum, or that synthetically scented after-‐shave! Switch to natural chemical free laundry detergents, and parabens free personal care hair and skin care…

• Indra-vajra-abhijania – Ayurveda identified electromagnetic pollution and radiation as being harmful to the human physiology thousands of years before the invention of our contemporary digitalized and computerized culture. As the term indicates, this kind of toxin has to do with “Indra” or the god of the skies who ruled the “vajra” or the electrically charged thunderbolt. This last category of toxins is of an even more subtle but pervasive



electromagnetic and energetic nature. Too much computer or cell-‐phone usage, living next to electrical towers, sleeping with your head next to an electrical plug, or digital smart clock, etc. All these can burn your “soma” and deplete your “ojas” and develop deep imbalances over time, even if you have and maintain the perfect diet and routine.

So now you have it, you know who the enemies in the line are, now you have to learn how to deal with them! For this you have to step with caution because some risks may be involved.

2. Confront your toxins – but carefully! After it is determined which type of toxins are bothering your physiology, then you can address which ones and how many you will target in a specified time period. If you are found to suffer from all four, you will obviously have to go step by step so as to avoid a total detox crisis, running the risk of your body shutting down on you! But there is a very important point here: some or all of your toxins may be resulting from one specific set of toxins or situation, and this brings us to the second point to consider.

3. Where is the “adhisthan” of your toxins? In other terms, what is or has become their by-default favorite hang-out location? Toxins like to set up permanent residence and grow! They will wander around till they find the perfect location to make their stronghold. Weak over-‐used areas are their favorite spots. An overworked organ, an inflamed tissue or over-‐worked joints. It is



important to know where the adhisthan or original location of toxic build-‐up is. For example, you may experience pain in your forearms, but the origin of that pain may be in your shoulder where you may have a nucleus of inflamed nerves due to stress, and the pain may be extending down to your elbows and wrists, but if you try to address it on that level, it won’t help much, until you address it in its adhisthan, in your shoulder. Your shoulder will attract fresh ama, everytime you eat the wrong things, or it will also be a vulnerable point for garavisha, any toxic exposure will weaken it further. Taking care of your shoulder will make sure no further toxins are added on, but rather duly eliminated.

4. Which brings us to the next question: what kind of toxins will you be addressing primarily? Those that are lipid-soluble or those that are water-soluble? This is a very important question because its answer will determine the type of protocol you will have to adopt to eliminate them efficiently and without side-‐effects. Lipid-‐soluble toxins reside in your fat tissue, and many herbal

formulations do not address lipid-‐soluble toxins, while specific herbs and spices, such as the common household fenugreek seeds or leaves (methi) address and detox your fat tissue.

Distinguishing between these two types of toxins will bring about concrete results. Ama resides more in the “rasa” or clear part of plasma, and in the blood, while amavisha may go deeper into the fat and bone tissue.



5. You will then need to further focus and determine which organs and which organ systems, and also which physical or vibrational channels are involved. Which dhatu-‐s or tissues? Which mala-‐s are the toxins accumulated in? As you know, the tissues are built like a pyramid, each one gets transformed and refined to yield the other, until the very finest last dhatu or tissue, which is “shukra” or the reproductive fluid. So after the transformation of every dhatu, or tissue, a specific “mala” or bi-‐product of the transformation is produced. This is a little like the wood dust you get when you are doing woodwork, it is what remains, what is left over, it is a “mala” and mala-‐s are the best hosts for toxins. For example, after you ingest food, and after it is digested, the unused part becomes fecal matter, called “purish” in Ayurveda. Purish is a mala, it is the bi-‐product of a transformation. In itself, it is not toxic if it is evacuated out of the body on time. But if it is made to stay in the colon longer than it should, if you are constipated for example, or you are too busy to go when you get the urge, then it gets reabsorbed into the blood and causes toxicity. Urine is also a mala, so is sweat. That is why Ayurveda says not to restrain your natural urges, if you feel like you need to urinate, do not hold it back. It also recommended you wear natural breathable fibers that will allow the sweat to come out rather than remain on the skin, which will allow the toxins to get reabsorbed.



6. Clear your channels or detox pathways: after identifying the type of toxin(s) that you need to address, and determining the “adhisthan” or site location (are they accumulated in your liver? Kidney? Lungs? Etc), you have to consider your physical and vibrational channels. Why? Because they are the pathways through which you will be evacuating and eliminating the toxic build-‐up. If you need the transport the trash from one part of the city to the designated landfill and the highways are blocked, or the bridges are broken due to poor maintenance, you may have to take the side roads which may cause unduly delay, not to mention that some may not have been built for large trucks to go through… If the detox pathways for specific organs and systems in your body can be either: a) blocked due to the accumulation of toxins-‐ this is known as “Shroto Rodh”; or b) shrunk -‐ this is known’s as “Shroto Abhi Shanga”; or c) dried-out and ruptured -‐ this is known as “Shroto Bhranmsha.” The condition of your shrota-‐s needs to be determined and addressed before you plan on using them for eliminating toxins through them. The blockages will have to be removed, if the channels are shrunk they will have to be rejuvenated; if the channels are ruptured then detox is contra-‐indicated, it may not even be an option at all. Shouldn’t you assess the health of your channels before deciding to detox?

This is why understanding the toxins, locating their “adhisthan,” evaluating the health and weakness of the organs and systems, assessing the state of the channels,



these are all key factors that will help determine whether or not one can proceed with even home detox or seek professional SVA expert help for risk-free detox.

After meeting with too many victims of unwise detox protocols, Vaidya Mishra developed the safe and effective transdermal cellular detox protocols and specific SVA products. The objective for SVA experts is to use the safest and most effective detox methods that will put least amount of pressure on the organs and organ systems, and even less pressure on the circulatory channels. SVA detox is, in this sense, almost risk free detox; however, no detox is complete without proper food and drink, as well as adequate rest, even in transdermal detox protocols. SVA Transdermal detox also follows the 3 stages of Purv Karma, Pradhan Karma and Paschat Karma.

But before you embark on your spring detox journey, remember that the best detox principle and most efficient protocol is to stop inputting toxins, regardless what type they are. Choose a toxin free life through diet, daily routine, the environment your live and work in, and the people you hang out with. More often than not, we do have choices. It is just about implementing them, even if with baby steps. In this sense, here are some practical things you can do not only to prep your body but to stop inputting more toxins:



• Maintain an alkaline non-‐channel clogging SVA diet (no refined food items, no acidic additives, no large beans, etc)

• Go to bed on time – 9:30pm sleep to wake up by 5:30am is optimal for all body types. Kapha types may feel they need less sleep so they can wake up earlier, instead of sleeping later…

• Get into the habit of doing full-‐body self-‐oil massages if not daily at least 2-‐3 times a week with Vata pacifying oil blends

• Incorporate kulthi dahl into your diet, at least once a week, ideally on Saturdays

• Consume cilantro and mint chutney 2-‐3 times a week • Incorporate Moringa leaf (tea, soup mix, drops) into your dietary regimen

• Adopt transdermal detox creams to gently but effectively start unclogging channels and releasing toxins in preparation for full detox

• Switch to natural personal care products with pure ingredients

• Use only chemical free cleaning agents • If you must be in front of the computer for long-‐er hours, then shield your body by wearing raw unrefined silk – either a shawl or a shirt. Then make sure to do an SVA Vibrational Cleanse every evening at least – you can request these steps if you do not have them.
