In ancient times, yogis practiced dhauti as one of the original forms of Shatkarma. Dhauti was a practice that cleansed the digestive tract. Dhauti is one of the Shatkarmas (or Shatkriyas), which form the yogic system of body cleansing techniques. It is intended mainly to the cleaning of the digestive tract in its full length but it affects also the respiratory tract, external ears and eyes. As a modern day alternative to the ancient practice of dhauti, many people practice the lemonade cleanse.
This simple recipe will cleanse the digestive tract and solve many digestive problems. It is one of the many natural health remedies to keep the body in balance. The Lemonade Diet, also called the Master Cleanse, is a liquid-only diet consisting of three things: a lemonade-like beverage, salt-water drink, and herbal laxative tea. The claim is simple: Give it 10 days (or more) and you’ll drop pounds, “detox” your digestive system, and feel energetic, vital, happy, and healthy. The same people who like the lemonade cleanse tend to like the ayurvedic remedy for sore throat.
