The Autumn Ayurveda Cleanse & Renew
As summer fades into autumn and the air turns crisp, our bodies feel the shift as much as the trees and winds around us. The junction between seasons, known in Ayurveda as Ritu Sandhi, is a time of release and renewal—a sacred pause before life transitions again.
One of the most powerful ways to honor this time is through a seasonal Ayurvedic cleanse. And at the heart of this practice lies the simplest, most nourishing dish in Ayurveda: kitchari.
This autumn, beginning September 21, we’ll gather as a community for an Ayurvedic Kitchari Cleanse—a gentle yet transformative reset designed to align you with the rhythms of nature, support your digestion, and restore balance in body and mind.
Why Cleanse in Autumn?
Ayurveda teaches that seasonal transitions offer a unique opportunity to prevent imbalance and maintain health. As autumn arrives:
Summer’s heat (Pitta) leaves behind accumulated intensity, inflammation, and activity.
Autumn’s dry, cool winds (Vata) can unsettle digestion, the nervous system, and immunity.
A gentle autumn cleanse helps:
Clear out summer’s excess heat and toxins before they lead to imbalance.
Strengthen digestion (Agni) for the season ahead.
Calm the nervous system, bringing grounding and stability.
Prepare the body for winter, building resilience and immunity.
Unlike harsh detoxes that deplete energy, an Ayurvedic cleanse nourishes while it cleanses—resting the system while giving it exactly what it needs.
Why Kitchari Is the Star of the Cleanse
Kitchari is a simple dish made of split mung beans, rice, ghee, and digestive spices. Considered tridoshic—balancing for all three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha)—it offers:
Easy digestion: Frees energy for healing and repair while giving the gut a gentle reset.
Deep nourishment: Protein, fiber, and healthy fats keep you grounded and satisfied.
Digestive support: Warm, lightly spiced, and moist foods strengthen Agni (digestive fire) and reduce Vata’s dryness.
Versatility: Supports adding herbs like Triphala or medicinal ghee for deeper detoxification and rejuvenation.
Eating kitchari for several days gives the body a chance to let go, while keeping the mind clear and the heart steady.
What to Expect During the Cleanse
Our Autumn Ayurvedy Cleanse & Renew program provides everything you need to reset with confidence and support:
3 Day Kitchari Kit: A simple, delicious recipe for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with ingredients for you to create your kitchari meal.
Herbal Support: Gentle cleansing herbs like Triphala to aid detoxification.
