Depression and mood swings are often secondary signs of deeper imbalances and may be connected to other areas of health. In many cases, underlying nutritional deficiencies can contribute to emotional lows and should be addressed promptly. In other instances, nervous system depletion or dysregulation may lead to fluctuations in one’s mental and emotional state.

Additional contributing factors may include hormonal imbalances, chronic stress, or improper dietary and lifestyle habits. According to Ayurveda, there are different types of low mood and emotional heaviness, each with its own causes and corresponding traditional therapeutic approaches.

Whether one experiences a subtle sense of sadness or a persistent emotional heaviness, traditional systems of healing offer holistic methods of support. When an individual is motivated and willing to implement dietary adjustments, adopt grounding lifestyle routines, and take herbal preparations traditionally used to uplift mood, meaningful progress is often possible.

Vata Kitchari Cleanse

Vata Kitchari Cleanse:

If you have a Vata constitution or a strong Vata imbalance, then you will want to make sure your cleanse will be nourishing to Vata and the kinetic qualities it possesses. 

Indications for a Vata Kitchari Cleanse:
  • Constipation
  • Chronic gas and bloating
  • Underweight
  • Dryness
  • Anxiety, worry, fear
  • Insomnia or other restless sleep issues
  • Chronic weakness or exhaustion
  • Brown, grey or black coating on tongue

Since Vata is light and airy by nature, it is very important to make sure the cleanse is not overly depleting for these sensitive individuals.  Although kitchari should be the highlight of the mono-diet, it may be beneficial for Vata-types to add hearty, rooty veggies along with lots of warming spices and nourishing oils.  This will help to keep Vata grounded during the cleanse and prevent over-depletion.  It is very important to keep in mind the length of the cleanse as Vata-types typically do better with shorter cleanses.  Anywhere from 3-5 days may be best, especially if you are already dealing with low weight and low energy.
