All you need is a good Detox to get you back on track and feel energetic again.
Detoxification involves clearing impurities from the blood boosting the liver function and thereby eliminating impurities from the blood. It is necessary to detox once a year like we do in our religious rituals and customs. This has been the ancient practice recommended by Ayurveda also as a good system cleansing practice to be followed by adults.
Note: Pregnant and feeding mothers, children below 12 and people suffering with terminal and chronic diseases should not do it.
