Though in the height of summer, Ayurveda doesn’t recommend cleansing or detoxing, it is important to gently detoxify monthly, and doing so with the Moon cycles in mind is ideal. At the time of the waning Moon, eating lightly is essential. Making meals that are easy to digest, cooked with digestion in mind, and utilizing basic Ayurvedic principles, are all excellent habits to utilize during the inner waning Moon cycle.
We all need to hit reset from time to time, even if it’s not during the new Moon. Travel, stressful and hectic life styles and eating restaurant food can all wreak havoc on the digestion, immune system and the needs of the body. I notice that my body reminds me when it needs to alkalize. Maybe I’ve had too much sugar, or coffee. Or maybe traveling and eating on the run have compromised my system. When it’s really imbalanced, I will feel sluggish, dull and not energized. At my worst I may get canker soars or inflamed skin. These are tell tale signs that my body needs some green magic!
You may have other inflammatory issues appear when your body is telling you to reset and alkalize. Let it tell you when it needs you to get simple and go back to the basics. My Magic Greens recipe is one that I’ve adapted from my beloved Vaidya Rama Kant Mishra’s Green Protein recipe. He suggests adding homemade panir, for some extra protein. I rarely do that, but if you are needing a bit of protein, go for it! This simple green puree recipe will get you back in balance immediately. I especially like to make this for dinner and I notice by the next morning I feel much better- more alkalized and lighter! My dogs have always loved these Magic Greens and come running when they hear the blender. Try sharing with your furry friend and see what they think.
