According to Ayurveda, due to the effect of atmosphere, weather, improper diet and lifestyle habits etc, the toxins in the body accumulate. These toxins, in Ayurvedic term is called as ‘Ama’. Toxins can be of two types –
Any disease manifestation can be explained in terms of toxins and the related effect that it exhibits on Doshas, and on body (and mind) and its function.
The toxins that enter into the body due to improper food / lifestyle – such as exposure to micro organisms through food, air etc.
The toxins that our body generates due to seasonal variations, improper diet etc – such as high fat consumption leading to excessive cholesterol, old age causing wear and tear in joints causing arthritis etc.
