It has long been known that all living systems, animal and plant, are subject to rhythmic changes. The most obvious of these are circadian rhythms, which work on a 24 hour cycle, and biorhythms, which relate to the physical cycle (23 days), the emotional (28 days) and the intellectual (33 days). These rhythms, though built into the organism, are controlled by a variety of external environmental factors, including the activity of sun and moon. They have great value in allowing the organism to anticipate and prepare for environmental changes, and have a huge influence in regulating and coordinating metabolic processes.

Modern science is finding out more and more about these ‘biological clock’ processes, but Ayurveda has for thousands of years been aware of the importance of maintaining good health by doing the right things at the right time. A sensible car owner will make sure that his vehicle is properly serviced at the appropriate times, as in so doing he is insuring it against serious and expensive breakdowns further down the line. In fact, sixty per cent of our common health problems can be prevented by adopting a similar approach. Doing the right things at the right time need not be an imposition. We need to be aware of  the best foods for our individual type and the best time to eat them, and we should know the best way to hydrate the body.

To do all of this requires a routine, and to implement such a routine requires equipment. Our lifestyle kits have been designed to make the process simpler and more efficient. The body is assisted in detoxification by cleaning the tongue, nasal membranes, ears,and gums. Nasal drops seal the membranes after cleansing and a herbal tonic helps to balance the doshas and improve stamina. Oils are used to lubricate the joints and to make the skin soft and smooth. The book of ‘Yoga Books’ provides a practical guide to sustaining good health, balance and harmony and includes simple Yoga exercises to help further in shifting toxins from less accessible places.

This relatively modest investment can be seen as an essential service kit which, if used routinely, will greatly improve the body’s ability to absorb nutrients and therby enhance all the metabolic processes, greatly reducing the chance of ill health.
