According to Ayurveda “ AMA” (Toxins or Waste Products) is responsible for the DISEASE, which occurs due to the doshic imbalance, signs and symptoms such as lack of proper appetite, coating on tongue (thick and yellow), lack of proper emptying habits and lethargy are early symptoms of accumulation of AMA. The best Ayurvedic approach to bring the balance is to cleanse AMA by various Ayurvedic methods such as fasting, Deepana (Appetising ) and pachana (Carminative ) therapies, in some cases it may need Panchakarma to eliminate effectively.
