6 Signs That Your Body Needs a Cleanse
Spring Is a Time for Shedding Toxins
We have been in a very cold snap in much of the northern hemisphere lately and it may seem like Spring will never come. However, if you pay attention to the difference in just the past few days, you may notice that there is a different quality to the winter right now. The snow is wet and heavy instead of powdery and light like we find in December and January. The ground is swollen with water and any hours of above freezing temps bring melt, run-off, possible rain and then ice. True mid-winter was on February 3rd this year, and so we have transitioned from Vata dominant winter to the Kapha stage of winter that will dominate through Spring. Can you feel it? Perhaps you too, like the earth, feel swollen, heavy, or just plain “stuck in the mud” like the earth and water elements of Kapha.
Find comfort in nature, knowing that Spring always emerges. You may soon be noticing your bodies craving, like Spring itself, for renewal and rebirth. According to Ayurveda, Spring is the season to shed accumulated ama (toxins) and reset the digestion to experience vibrant health.
How will you know if your body would benefit from a cleanse? Here are some tell tale signs that a Gentle Ayurvedic Cleanse could benefit you, along with why Spring is the ideal season for detoxification.
Signs You May Need an Ayurvedic Cleanse
Sluggish Digestion – Feeling bloated, constipated, or experiencing irregular elimination are all signs that digestive fire (agni) needs a reset.
Fatigue & Brain Fog – Persistent tiredness and mental cloudiness may indicate an overload of toxins slowing down your system.
Congestion & Allergies – Excess mucus, sinus issues, or seasonal allergies suggest that kapha (earth + water elements) has accumulated and needs balancing.
Cravings & Emotional Eating – Uncontrollable cravings, especially for heavy, sweet, or processed foods, can indicate an imbalance that a cleanse can help reset.
Joint Stiffness or Body Aches – If you feel heavy, swollen, or achy, it may be a sign that toxins are building up in your tissues.
Skin Issues - Acne, rashes or dull skin can be external signs of internal imbalances, sluggish detox pathways, or malnourishment.

Why Spring Is The Best Time for an Ayurvedic Cleanse
Spring is the season of renewal, making it the perfect time to cleanse: Here’s why:
Nature Supports Detoxification - The body naturally starts to release winter’s heaviness as the snow melts and temperatures begin to rise. Cleansing in the Spring is in alignment with nature and this natural rhythm may ensure better results.
Balances Kapha Dosha - Spring is Kapha season, which can lead to congestion and stagnation. A cleanse helps lighten and refresh the body.
Enhances Mental Clarity and Emotional Well-Being - A well designed Ayurvedic Cleanse clears mental fog, stabilizes emotions, and fosters a deep sense of nourishment and connection to your body’s natural rhythms.
