Foundations of Digestion & Detox

Agni

(UG-nee)

Digestive fire

Your body’s metabolic spark. When Agni is strong, you digest, absorb, and detox well. When weak, bloating and fatigue set in.

Strengthen Agni daily with Digest Your Best.

Ama

(AH-muh)

Toxic buildup

Sludge from poor digestion. Shows up as brain fog, bad breath, or bloat that won’t budge.

Reboot + Exit Strategy help clear it fast.

Srotas

(SROH-tahs)

Channels or pathways

Your body's internal highways. Blocked srotas mean stagnation—physically and emotionally.

Clear with Exit Strategy, movement, and minerals.

The Three Doshas

Your Mind-Body Blueprint

Vata

(VAH-tah)

Air + Space = Movement

Controls circulation and elimination. When high, you feel scattered, bloated, and dry.

Ground Vata with warm meals, routine, and LuminosiTEA.

Pitta

(PIT-tah)

Fire + Water = Transformation

Governs metabolism, focus, and drive. Too much? Think reflux, rashes, and irritability.

Cool excess heat with kitchari and Ignite Your Detox.

Kapha

(KAH-fah)

Earth + Water = Stability

Provides strength and calm. When heavy, it causes congestion, fatigue, and stubborn weight.

Lighten up with warming herbs and Ignite Your Detox.

Vital Energy & Immunity

Ojas

(OH-jus)

Vital essence

Deep immunity and glow. Built from good digestion, rest, and rhythm—not stress.

Boost Ojas with LYTEning Drops, ghee, and calm meals.

Prana

(PRAH-nuh)

Life force

Subtle energy of breath and vitality. When low, you feel foggy, flat, or anxious.

Restore flow with breathwork, hydration, and consistent meals.

The Building Blocks of the Body

Dhatus

(DHAH-toos)

Tissue layers

Seven layers from blood to bone to hormones. Weak digestion = weak tissues.

Feed your dhatus with ghee, kitchari, and Digest Your Best.

Tikshna

(TEEK-shnuh)

Sharp, intense

A fiery quality that drives digestion and focus. In excess, it burns—literally.

Cool Tikshna with LuminosiTEA and gentle detox rituals.
