Start your day the Ayurvedic way with this simple yet powerful morning detox drink. This traditional blend helps cleanse your digestive system, boost metabolism, and energize your body for the day ahead — all with just a few natural ingredients.
Why This Morning Detox Formula Works
In Ayurveda, mornings are considered the best time to detoxify and balance your body’s internal systems. The combination of lukewarm water, lemon, Himalayan salt, chia, and flax seeds gently stimulates digestion, supports hydration, and encourages toxin elimination (known as Ama in Ayurveda).
Each ingredient brings its own benefits:
- Lukewarm Water – Awakens your digestive fire (Agni) and rehydrates your body after sleep.
- Lemon (Nimbu) – Naturally detoxifying, packed with vitamin C, and helps balance pH levels.
- Himalayan Salt – Provides trace minerals and supports electrolyte balance.
- Chia Seeds – Rich in omega-3s and fiber, aiding digestion and hydration.
- Flax Seed Powder – Helps cleanse the intestines and promote regularity.
