Cleanse Ama From The Physiology

Avoid Drugs, Alcohol and Smoking

Arterial plaque is ama toxic matter that builds up in your blood vessels because your physiology cannot get rid of it efficiently. Ayurveda recommends a program of internal cleansing with every change of season to help your body flush out ama. Other things you can do to clear out ama is to drink lots of warm water through the day, go to bed by 10 PM to help the body cleanse itself during the natural purification time and eat a lighter diet high in fiber and antioxidants from fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts. Avoid drugs, alcohol and smoking.
