Garavisha Tea for Xenobiotics

What is Garavisha tea?

Gar(a) means “slow” and vish(a) means poison. Garavisha is a slow poison, a substance whose toxic action reveals itself after an extended period of time. In ancient times, the ayurvedic healers coined this term to refer specifically to slow poisons external to the body, such as does carried by some animals and insects. SVA extends the original definition of garavisha from the ayurvedic shastras or texts to encompass our modern concept of xenobiotics – from xenos (Greek for foreign) and bio (living organism). Garavisha, as Vaidya Mishra explains, can help us deal with the modern phenomenon of xenobiotic toxicity or chemical compounds that are foreign to our bodies, not produced by our own bodies, and thus externally acquired. Our bodies do not produce garavisha. Rather garavisha toxins enter our bodies from the environment. Garavisha is thus an exogenous toxin, a poisonous substance that enters our body from outside. For example: drugs (medicinal or recreational); environmental compounds or pollutants such as synthetic pesticides, herbicides; industrial pollutants and preservatives that are nowadays commonly used in personal care products such as SLS (Sodium Laurel Sulfate as a foaming agent); Parabens (a preservative); synethetic scents, flavors, and coloring agents; etc. All these are not found in nature, but are rather lab manufactured and derived.

Xenobiotics enter our body insidiously, silently, without our being aware or feeling anything. They enter our bodies when we inhale toxic fumes; or they transdermally crossing our blood barrier when we apply them on our skin or touch them; alternatively, they result from the oral consumption of synthetic chemical products or products that contain synthetic elements.

Garavisha molecules are too small and foreign for the immune system to process them, so they get to sit around in the physiology and cause slow but long term damage on a micro-cellular level, eventually resulting in chronic ill-health.

But you do not need to wait to get sick in order to detox garavisha. SV Ayurveda recommends safe and effective daily detox for optimal well-being. This herbal tea specially formulated by Vaidya Mishra will help bind and evacuate toxic molecules of garavisha that we willy-nilly ingest since we are exposed to xenobiotic molecules in so many aspects of our daily lives from personal care products (soaps, toothpaste, shampoo, perfumes, hair dyes, shaving products, laundry detergents, dishwasher liquids, general cleaning products, chemicals and dyes in our transportation systems or the environment we work in, not to mention preservatives in our food, etc).

In this formula, Guduchi will re-establish molecular intelligence and support the body to identify and eliminate toxic micro-molecules; Indian sarsaparilla will eliminate the fat soluble toxins by supporting the intelligent functioning of the fat metabolism; Neem will activate the detox process and support the immune system; Basil will support the body’s immunity to help ward-off any detox crises and nourish tissues supporting the production of ojas – the finest substances of post-digestion that nourishes the neutro-transmitters ; Marshmallow root will lubricate the channels to protect from the toxins, as it also coats the toxins to contain their reactivity while they are evacuated through our detox pathways; Peppermint will help maintain the channels open so as to facilitate toxic evacuation; Slippery elm will  supply lubrication for the channels as well as support the growth of friendly bacteria to help strengthen immunity; Coriander will help bind and eliminate virulent toxins such as mercury, lead, arsenic, and more; Rose will maintain the physiology cool and balanced during the detox process of the insidious and highly toxic garavisha waste.

For optimal results, it is best to use this tea in conjunction with the SVA Diet, and/or prep your physiology by stopping the intake of toxic substances or food, or exposure to a toxic environment before initiating detox. For more information on the SVA diet, go to: www.vaidyamishra.com
