Karen suffered from lifelong allergies and had consulted with many specialists and as a result was supplied with inhalers, nasal cleanses and allergy medication to help relieve her allergy symptoms.
She explains how after her first Digestive Reset Cleanse with me in 2023 the root of her allergy symptoms was healed and she no longer needed daily allergy medicine.
In July of this year Karen wanted to support her body in transitioning off birth control and reached out to see what the best course of action would be as she was told by professionals that it would not be an easy transition.
I recommended another cleanse as this would help to balance her hormones, regulate her cycle, nourish the tissues and pacify her doshas. She was experiencing pitta aggravation at the time and this could have caused complications with her menstrual cycle. I tailored the cleanse to her current health status and she was surprised to witness that her cycle started at the end of the cleanse without any symptoms and has been regular since.
Karen explains how her Ayurvedic journey has changed her life and how it has affected the way she lives her life today.
