Reminder: Don’t Detox… Just Yet! Plus: Study with the Best…. your SV Ayurveda Newsletter Jan 30, 2025 – #1, Vol 15

This is usually the time of year when, along with all kinds of new resolutions and beginnings, we all also try to lose some extra holiday pounds! All the delicious family meals and get togethers where we indulged just because we “deserved” a break and a reward! And this is ALSO the time of year where all attempts at weight loss and body reset FAIL, and miserably so! Why? The answer is very simple.

According to Shaka Vansiya Ayurveda, Winter is the best season to eat! This is the time when, because of cooler temperatures, our physical channels, or shrotas, are shrunk, trapping our digestive fire, pachak agni, as well as the agni in our tissues or dhatus, in location. This sharpens our agni and our appetite, making us crave AND LITERALLY NEED heavy nourishing meals. Trying to reduce calories, or eat light, or cut back on rich food items, will only backfire. What can happen? Well, for one, you will increase your cravings, and with cravings, it is hard to control a diet. You will end up over-eating and regretting even more… So: let’s repeat this again – Winter is the worst time to detox or lost weight. And reversely: this is the best time to keep eating! You got some extra pounds that are making your uncomfortable? No worries, Spring is just around the corner, and you can then adopt a whole new diet and routine to support your body’s natural “automatic” detox. Trust the precepts of this timeless ancient science that teaches us to live in accordance with the laws of Nature. For in truth, nothing else matters much, except staying aligned with Mother Nature and the flow of time through the seasons.

However, if you do feel like your metabolism is somewhat overwhelmed because you are craving AND consuming rich heavy meals -as you now know you should be – Vaidya gave us wonderful herbal brews that help support digestion in the stomach and the tissues. Amongst these, his Gymnema Brew is a best-seller. This delicious blend’s primary ingredient as the name suggest is Gymnema. In Hindi it is also known as “gur-mar” that literally translates into “sugar-killer!” It literally processes any all sugar molecules so they are transformed into energy, rather than left to roam around and transform into fat molecules. It also help with fat metabolism, so whatever you eat can be transformed into energy and also nourish your bone tissue.

You can drink a cup of Gymnema Brew after a rich meal, or that favorite extra slice of dessert; or you can even start your morning with it, to jump-start your digestive fire. It tastes, looks, smells like coffee but has zero caffeine. Instead it will energize you by giving your metabolism a boost. Start your day or end your day with it. And let us know how you liked it! Or explore our other unique SVA teas. And stay tuned for more tips about detox in our upcoming issues! Happy new year, and let’s keep it happy throughout by staying aligned with the flow of the seasons. Namaste!
