Have you recently noticed an increasing sensitivity to indigestion, runny nose, mucous congestion, aches and pains?

It could be that you are experiencing the effects of our current seasonal change from Spring into Summer. During this transition our body does a mini cleanse and signs of ama (impurities) are a good indication to take stock and help your body detox in preparation for a great summer.

Here are the typical symptoms of ama or impurity overload.
Which ones are you experiencing?

1. You wake up tired even after a good nights sleep.

2. You feel lethargic

3. Your tongue is coated especially upon awaking in the morning

4. You don't feel real hunger even when you haven't eaten for hours

5. You have generalized aches and pains. They are often noticed the day after eating certain heavy foods, like meat, cheeses, desserts and fried foods

6. You lack mental clarity and energy

7. You have a sense of heaviness in the abdomen, legs or body as a whole

8. You feel weary and unenthusiastic

9. You experience frequent indigestion like gas bloating and or heartburn

10. You feel blocked anywhere in the body, including constipation, sinus congestion and difficulty breathing.
