Post Cleanse Resource List

  • FOODS TO BUILD OJAS: Click here to reference the list of foods that help restore and boost our ojas (vital energy).

  • BUILDING VS. EXTRACTIVE FOODS: You can review lists of building (augmenting) and extractive foods here (see bottom of page). The ratio of 60:40 is generally best to strive for, although it’s not necessary to be obsessive about striking the perfect ratio at each individual meal, rather I encourage you to think across your day, or even about a 30-day average.

  • REJUVENATIVE HERBS (RASAYANAS): Here is a list of some rejuvenative herbs that can be integrated into your daily routine as we move into the coming weeks. You can find all of these products at Banyan Botanicals in the various forms mentioned. (If you have not used it before, code PRANAFUL15 gets you 15% off your purchase.)

    • Triphala – two of the herbs in triphala are deeply rejuvenating (haritaki + amalaki). Continue with the dose we were taking this past week.

    • Ashwagandha – an amazing adaptogenic tonic herb that is particularly nourishing. Wonderful taken as a powder mixed into warm milks before sleep, or you can purchase tablets.

    • Shatavari – the ultimate tonic herb for balancing female hormones and nurturing the reproductive organs. This is also wonderful as a powder in a warm milk, or can be taken in a tablet form. I also hand-blend and sell Shatavari Kalpa, a delicious formula that allows the medicinal potency of Shatavari to be more bio-available.

    • Gotu Kola (Brahmi) – one of the most supportive herbs for brain health. Supports clarity and focus. I really like the tincture form, which can be added to water/juice daily. You can also find gotu kola as a tea.

  • SEED SYNBIOTIC: For ongoing digestive support, I am a big fan of synbiotic supplements, which contain probiotics (good microbes for the gut) along with prebiotics (food for probiotics, which amplifies their effect). I particularly like the research and care that has gone into the formulation of the Seed Synbiotic and have personally experienced changes using it, and have witnessed it help many of my clients with regular use as well. (They also make a wonderful kids formula.) For those taking traditional probiotics (without a prebiotic component), I encourage you to consume plenty of prebiotic foods.
