Sodhak - #6032
I’ve been hearing a lot about detox therapies and came across the term sodhak in Ayurveda. From what I understand, sodhak refers to cleansing or purifying remedies that help eliminate toxins from the body. Can someone explain how sodhak works and what conditions it’s most effective for? I’ve been feeling sluggish and bloated, and I suspect it’s due to poor digestion and toxin buildup. Would using a sodhak help with these symptoms? What are the most common herbs or therapies used as sodhak treatments? Does sodhak include only internal remedies, like herbal powders and decoctions, or are external therapies like massages and steam baths also part of the process? If anyone has undergone a sodhak treatment, how was your experience? I’d also like to know if there are any precautions to keep in mind while using sodhak. Can it cause any temporary discomfort or side effects? How long does it typically take to complete a sodhak regimen, and how soon do you feel the benefits?
