“Your digestive fire isn’t your friend’s digestive fire.” We all have that one friend who swears by Intermittent Fasting (16:8) and seems to glow while eating just two meals. But here’s the catch – ancient Ayurveda never said the same rules apply to everyone . Ancient Meal Wisdom vs. Modern Lifestyle According to Ashtanga Hridayam : “Sūryodayāt pūrvam utthāya bhojanaṃ Yaḥ karoti prātaḥ sa bhavēt nirāmayaḥ” Translation: He who eats before sunrise remains free from disease.

  "My digestion feels like a clogged sink." That’s exactly how Sarah, one of my clients from the USA, described her bloating last month. She had tried probiotics, teas, and endless remedies… but nothing gave her lasting relief. That’s when I introduced her to an Ayurvedic secret: Nitya Virechana — your gut’s daily cleaning service. What is Nitya Virechana? In Ayurveda, Nitya means daily and Virechana means gentle cleansing . Think of it not as a harsh purge, but as a soft, natural sweeping crew for your intestines . Charaka Samhita beautifully says: “Nityam virechana yogena Rasayanam bhavet param” Translation: Daily gentle cleansing becomes supreme rejuvenation. And the tool for this? 👉 Avipattikar Churna – a time-tested classical formulation. How to Practice Nitya Virechana (Step-by-Step Ritual) Here’s the evening ritual I recommend to my patients (and what Sarah followed too): Take ¼ teaspoon Avipattikar Churna in warm water (2+ hours after di...
