FASTING THERAPY FROM MAY 6 TO MAY 10
Renza Bellei has been collaborating for many years with Swami Joythimayananda in organizing therapeutic fasting programs.
The fasting period (only liquids such as herbal teas or water are taken) lasts 4 days but can be extended according to individual needs. It is recommended to practice fasting once or twice a year, preferably during seasonal changes.
According to Ayurveda, fasting is an excellent tool for purification and rejuvenation. It is a natural discipline that allows the body to heal itself. Fasting is also an effective process to rebalance and ignite the digestive fire (Agni), burning accumulated impurities and toxins (Ama). Toxins are considered the cause of most psycho-physical imbalances.
Fasting completely rejuvenates the mind, body, and spirit. It brings overall well-being by eliminating toxins and increasing mental clarity. It provides a feeling of lightness and boosts physical energy.
PREPARATION FOR FASTING THERAPY
In the week prior to fasting, it is necessary to reduce or, even better, avoid heavy and fried foods, red meat, alcohol, and coffee.
