Maharishi AyurvedaMA 1010 - Ama-Clean

AMA are bitter and astringent herbs. These valuable dietary supplements are recommended by Ayurveda during the changing seasons. The recommended period of use is 1 month.

What is Ama?

• The term "Ama" is mentioned in many places in Ayurvedic texts. The literal translation of Ama is: undigested. According to these Ayurvedic writings, Ama arises when the food we eat is not properly digested due to our poor dietary habits or weak Agni (= digestive fire).
• According to the Ayurvedic doctrine, ama is described as a kind of waste substance in the body that can hinder all metabolic processes.
• Ayurveda greatly values a fresh diet, as this helps avoid the formation of Ama. Ayurveda recommends a series of measures to reduce this ama build up and cleanse the body.

Recommended use (for adults):
