Hot Mess to Goddess 21 Day Group Cleanse

Hi everybody, how is everybody doing?

Good, how are you, Salila?

I'm doing quite well, Natasha. It's good to see you. Have we, have we had a chat before? Did we do like a discovery session before? I feel like we did. Did we?

This is Hema speaking. We did have a session.

Natasha is on the, on the video and she's also speaking. So I feel like I'm speaking to Natasha. Hema, could you please come on video, please? Abha, I already know.

Is that okay if I don't come on the video? I just woke up, I'm still in the bed.

Okay, theek hai, not a problem. Tell me, Hema, did you sign up yet, Hema, or are you still considering?

I'm still considering.

Okay, wonderful, wonderful. Yeah, you know what, I've had so many people ask me about the cleanse, like I I've gone crazy in the last 2 days. I did not expect like thousands of people to ask me questions, so I was like, I'm done selling. Yeah, guys, if you want to join, join. I bless you with the bottom of my heart. If you don't feel this is a fit, God bless you. Like, I can't do sales, I can't do selling. I want to heal, so I want to keep all my time and my energy for the wonderful people who want to heal with me. So rest aap logi shraddha, whatever God makes you, you know, guides you, move forward with that. And we all have our healing journeys. So sometimes even if we try and do our very best, I see that, you know, sometimes my heart is like, no, no, I want to help you, I want to help you, please come, please come. Then I feel like, you know, those people it doesn't work out so well because some part of them is still holding back. So, and that karma comes on me. So easy letting go. You also sit and think about it. You ask me your questions, I'll do my best to answer, and then you go where your heart wants to go. So we are here to talk about the program. And Hema, let me know what questions are coming up for you.

So I watch a lot of videos of yours and others who have knowledge of Ayurveda. But I still feel like I am a beginner. I don't know anything. I don't know where to start. And after the discovery session with you, I learned a lot of things. But it's just that because it's so new to me, it's hard for me to implement everything. And for example, if I'm cooking something, then I don't know what the correct combination is or what I'm doing wrong or what is right. So I'm just wondering if I do this cleanse, will that be a lot for me to handle, especially right now because I'm not doing well, I'm still recovering from an illness. So I just wonder, does it have to be followed 100%? Or there is room to make mistakes? And I will still get the benefit.

Now I remember, Hema, you and I, we've had a consultation, right?

Yeah.

So thank you. My community is so big on social media that I get confused between names. But thank you. If I had seen your face, I would have immediately known it was you. So dear, people who give information on Instagram and social media, obviously they are all coming from having studied at least for 3 years. Hopefully they've studied for at least 3 years. Then the second aspect is they want to create this unique positioning for themselves, so they will take what is controversial. Or if I am saying everybody should wake up with the sunrise, somebody will say No, don't wake up with the sunrise. This is why. And in Ayurveda, there is pros and cons for everything. The acharyas don't tell us do exactly this. The acharyas give us one rule, then they give us contradictions, and they give us who's, who's going to be helped by this rule. So when we look at social media as a tool to teach us some of these nitty-gritties of Ayurveda, we end up being very, very confused. Because they're all trying to create— I also do that, right? If, if a practitioner says, um, heal hypothyroid doing this, I'll now try and look at another way to make that, because we all want virality, we want people to look at our stuff, we want— otherwise who will know who Salila Sukumaran is? So that's the reason why social media can be so confusing. So you are not going to become an expert in Ayurveda based on what you see on social media, not even if you spend 10 years watching social media. You have to go to the shastras, you have to study the shastras, you have to study from somebody. But what you— everybody can do, including me, when I started off, it's taken me nearly 5 years to get to the point where I could start offering consultations. That was 2015. I started my formal studies. Today, even today, I study. 9:00, I have my webinar with a very good doctor from Pune, and I study. Even for me, there are points— I feel like I'm standing by the ocean. I don't understand it. I I, I only know a drop. So that's how vast Ayurveda is. But coming to your question, when we are doing a cleanse in a group format, what we are do— what I am doing, my programs are doing, is I teach you to become very observant about your body. So people who have not had a good response from an Ayurvedic physician, even they start to heal.

Why?

Because your body is the biggest healer. Ayurveda physician is also a human being. He is— he or she is limited by their knowledge of what can be done and how your body will apply. They're applying something that's worked for a good majority of people, but maybe you're the outlier. When such people come to me and they start to apply these things and they start to notice, oh my God, my body reacted like this when I did this, and then they excitedly come to me and next day We will be part of a Facebook group, but I have a special, you know, WhatsApp group for my premium clients. Let me just figure— I wish I could show you all the chats in that. Like, each person will share their daily challenges, their wins, and they become experts at their own body. So, Hema, for you right now, the situation you are in, you are in a very like aggravated situation, and the consultation gave— I gave you is to move you from the aggravation to normalcy. Once you come to normalcy, now that you will going to be part of the group program, the group is going to hold you together. Everybody is going to be posting their updates, and you're going to feel a pinch if you don't have an update to post, right? So you will find ways to cook for yourself, take care of yourself, and then It is just a matter of staying accountable to ourselves and just doing this day after day. And one day suddenly you're like— it's like bicycling. We have to find that time, we have to pedal, and one day suddenly we are off the training wheels and your body is like, the healing energy is now activated. Does that help?

Uh, yeah. So I do have a follow-up question. First of all, um, the things that you asked me to do, even though they're the easiest thing for anyone to do. But the problem is, I'm so sick right now. I was again admitted 2 days ago in the hospital. So it's so hard for me to stay on track. And even if I'm at home, I'm sleeping so much that I can't even cook khichdi or dalia. And my husband, even though he cooks really complicated food, but he doesn't know how to make dalia and khichdi. So I'm not able to follow the easiest plan even. But, um, uh, I— so I would say I've only been able to follow, uh, 30 or 40% of what you said, but there was a significant change in my C-reactive protein. It was really, really big difference. So it has never been that in like 10, 10 years in that numbers. And I just started following this for about a week now, just 30 to 40%. It's already making a difference in my blood work. So I know that it is working for me. Um, but the problem is, uh, as you said, uh, if everybody's going to be posting and if I don't have anything to post, um, I will have, uh, motivation to do it, right? But at this moment, I think it's going to be opposite for me, uh, the way I am. Um, I know that I will criticize myself if I don't follow what everybody is doing, and if I don't have anything to post, that will give me a lot of pressure. So that's what I wanted to know. If I'm not following, but if I'm making notes, and once I'm doing well, and then I start following, uh, but I will not have a group then, I guess, to post everything, and you might not be there to follow up on those posts. So is it still a good plan for me?

We all come to some situation based on our own limitations. There is no pressure. The accountability part is— the aim of that accountability part is not to make you feel bad. But if you are in a state where you are feeling bad, See, I have people in my private coaching, premium coaching, who are— who just are going through such horrible times that they don't have the— similar like you, bleeding every day, diarrhea every day. They don't have the energy. They're in their 70s. They don't have the— they can't even like, you know, do that. But I still tag them and I say, hey dear, do you have an update? Do you have an update? And you know, quietly they will send me a private message, I'm doing better, just like you shared. And that is a huge, huge win. You should celebrate yourself, Hema, that you did that. You stuck to something. See, I can only tell you what to do.

You walk the path.

Even if you walk the path crawling, you walk the path, right? And that PRP, you know, that is inflammation marker.

Yeah.

And with high PRP, you are in the danger of even having a heart attack. So if you've had that elevated, you know, levels of inflammation in your body, lot of dreaded diseases can happen. So now you know, if I do X, the things are going to come into range. So let this be your motivation. And if you join, uh, the group program, I'll be more than happy But if you're not able to join it, and if you think some part of you is saying go check it out, that's why you're here, right? Otherwise, like, done by, right? Yeah, sit with it, pray on it. If it feels it's good for you, I welcome you. And nobody is going to put pressure on you to do anything you don't want to do, but I'm going to gently nudge you every time because that's my job. Because I care about everybody and I want everybody to heal.

Wow, okay, okay. Thank you very much. Yeah, that answers my question.

Great.

So I'm going to quickly take Tejwant's question because Tejwant is not here and I think it's important. So Tejwant is asking, uh, if it's peak winters for Tejwant in Australia, can I start with the cleanse program or do I need to do it with modifications? Uh, that is, the cleanse uniform across seasons and can be— no, the cleanse is never uniform across seasons. Uh, I'm still working on tweaking the intake form to, um, work for the group. So on the 12th of July, I will launch that. So each one of you who signs up on the 12th of July will receive the intake form, and then we are going to go through, um, about maybe 3 intake forms and each one will be of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha imbalance. Because you guys may have different kinds of issues, health issues, but when I put the Ayurvedic lens on top, it's either a Vata imbalance, it's a Pitta imbalance, or a Kapha imbalance. So I'll put that under my lens and I will share with you. We will go through the case study and then each one of you will know whether you have a Vata, a Vata Pitta, or a Kapha Pitta. And then for each Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, we will have a slightly modified cleanse based on our weather, based on our stress levels, based on our work, based on our chronic issues. So I'm going to share all this, and as a group, we will create our own program. I'll share a calendar link with you where you will sit and you will say, okay, these are my days, these are the days how I'm going to take care of myself, these are the days I'm going to do certain— so So the group has— the cleanse has two phases. Phase 1, where we take care of diet and we take care of certain herbal supplements in a titrated manner. We're going to do that. And then the second phase is when we are going to do Vamana, Virechana, Rakta Mokshana through your periods. Everybody who has periods will do Rakta Mokshana through the periods. Vasti, Nasya, we will do throughout. And then anyone who is menopausal or perimenopausal, we will go donate blood and do Rakta Mokshana, if that works for you. So that's how we will do all the 5. And through Vamana, the purgation, the throw up, we are going to clear everything from our chest upwards. So any kind of coughing, immunity issues, hormonal imbalances, we'll take care of that. When we cleanse our gut through Virechana, any kind of digestive issues, constant diarrhea, all that will get cleansed out. When we do Vasti, which is enema, we are going to take care of that mind. Hema, we are talking about the mind, right? When you ask me the question, so that mind becomes calm. I have people saying, oh my God, I had no idea I could be so zen.

My—

like, this has just shut up right now. That sort of effect happens after Vasti. So once we meet on 14th, I'm going to share with you like all the equipments we need for Phase 2. So till Phase 2, you have about 14 days, so I'm pretty sure you'll all be able to get all the stuff to prepare for Phase 2. Phase 2 is pretty intense. This is probably going to be the most intense guided Panchakarma somebody will be doing at their home, which is why we have the Facebook I expect everybody to show up for themselves. Share your tongue pictures, um, your updates, and I'll give you the key, and then I'll say, this is the key. Now using this key, self-diagnose and tell me whether you're doing this right. So I'm actually going to be teaching you even more than I teach my one-on-one clients, because one-on-one clients, what's that? They show me something, I interpret it for them, they get to know, they learn. You guys are going to be learning more because I expect you to self-diagnose, and I'll come in to correct if you're making any mistakes. Does that help?

Yeah, I have a question.

Go ahead, Komal.

Yeah, Salila, if, uh, so if we start on the 14th and the periods are prior to that, yep, or not during those 21 days, so yeah, how do we start on Or when do we start?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Tejwant also had the same question. I assume cleanse is not to be done during periods, but if someone starts it and gets the period in between the course, then what's the protocol? So we take those kind of issues. So in the 21 days, there's going to be at least one of you who has a period starting in the beginning, in the middle, or at the end. So when we have a period that is coming up, let's say we start on the 14th and your period is set to come on the 21st of July, let's say, then what we will do is first 7 days you're simply going to do proper diet. You're going to wait for the period, and then on the 4th day of the period you're going to start the cleanse. So since all the videos are recorded, you can just start following the video starting day 4 of your period. I hope I'm—

so let me take a break.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You are not going to feel left out once you're in the program. Whatever permutation combinations happen, even if it is like a crazy outlier, I'm going to find time to help you. Because once you are on, I'm like crazy. I have to see those results. I want to hear words like Hema's. Kumira PRP drop. I'm doing great now, right? Or, or this was not happening, now this is happening. That is what is my real, like, I want to eat that, right? So once you're in the program, you guys know me, you're connected to me. I'm not running away anywhere, I'm here. So even if it's like some crazy weird outlier issue, we are going to get through it. I'm going to guide you through it. You have 21 days of videos available. You have all the knowledge available from the 8 sessions we do on Zoom, plus you have access to Facebook. So you can always come back and say, hey, Salila Sukumaran, this happened. Then we're gonna help you, and hopefully by then the community would be helping each other. Somebody is already walking ahead of you. That person will be excited to share what they did. Like Nivedita and Kirti, they were my private clients. I don't expect them to talk to you guys in the webinar, in the WhatsApp group, and share their experience, or— but they do it by themselves because they are excited to share. Because once you have so much health restored in your body, you're like, I want to talk about this, I want to help. Becomes like a junoon.

Yeah, yeah, thank you. And if the periods— just last one— if the periods come prior to the cleanse, say July 14th, then it's okay to be— I do the cleanse straight, right?

You do the cleanse on the 4th day. Let's say your periods are coming on 2nd of August, then you do the full cleanse with us. The period becomes your Rakta Mokshana. So we will make sure that first 14 days we are doing the first phase, period becomes Rakta Mokshana, then we do the rest of it. Vamanavirajana vasthi.

Okay, my question, I think, I mean, just being personal, if I get the periods prior to the cleanse, then—

When is your period? Let's just start.

It could be any time, maybe in the next few days.

In the next few days. So we are starting on the 14th. Next few days, right now is 8th, right? Next few days, let's say it comes on the 12th. No problem. That's like one of the best things, because by the time you come in, you settle your periods, it'll be the 4th day of your period, and then you can— you'll be one of the earliest people to start it then.

Okay, I mean, then I could go straight into the 21 days, how you've designed it.

Yes, yes, each one will work on a calendar. We will do this as an exercise on the 14th when we meet. First thing we will do is create our calendars. Create the game plan. You will then print out your calendar or take a screenshot, share it on Facebook. Each one of you will go by your calendar. We have to look at when is my period, when are my off days, what days can I purgate. Because a lot of you are working, so you can't take off and do virechana and have like 7-8 diarrheal episodes. You can't have that. So you have to put that on the weekends. So even though I say it's a 21-day cleanse, usually takes about 30 days with our, you know, holidays and everything. Once you have the program, you have the videos, you have the 8 sessions, you're more than prepared. Then you come back and ask your questions in the Facebook.

That help?

Yeah.

Okay, one more.

I have a question too, uh, Salila. Actually a few questions. Yes, so I, I won't be able to start the program up until, uh, much later in August because I think I told you that I have travel plans coming towards the end of, um, end of July, right? And so even if I start, say, on 14th, I am leaving on 25th for the next 5-6 days, and then once I'm back, I, I would have my periods. Between anywhere from 2nd August to the next 3 days.

Okay, okay.

Which means I, I think I would miss out on the entire 21 days from when you start and when I start. Yeah, um, right. So my thing was that, you know, that would, would I get that support in the sense like, I know there is, you know, there are the videos that I can see, you know, Facebook group is of course there. But in case, you know, something doesn't work out.

Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. I'm not going to leave you hanging for something or something, you know. You have a question that is— if it's something that'll take me 5 minutes to answer, not a problem. But if it's something like really some, you know, when you went on a holiday and some new condition came up and now it's something that I just can't say, kichalo, go and have a bath. 'Or, you know, yeah, drink this and this will be okay.' Then obviously I'll say, 'Please book a consultation.' Otherwise, I don't want to give advice that doesn't help, that doesn't— that makes something, a condition, worse. But I'm assuming everything else remains the same and these are just questions about the cleanse itself. It'll be fine. Yeah, that won't be a problem at all. So you'll be a pretty unique case. I, I have another person also who's signing up who said that it's going to be a little bit delay for them. So I will add you also to the— so thank you for signing up, first of all, and welcome to the community.

Thank you.

Yeah, I will keep you and that other person in mind, and I'll know that.

Yeah.

And if you have questions, just— we'll find a way. Once you are in the program, in the community, we'll find a way to serve you.

Right. And, you know, coming back to the question of the equipment and the things that we would need, you know, if, if you have the list with you, I have someone coming from India who can get me all things. Because Singapore, I mean, of course, there is a lot of Ayurveda in Singapore, but it's way too expensive for everything to, you know, Anu Telang to whatever rest, you know. So if we, if, if, you know, if we get the list out in time, I will have something like I can order it from India and I can get that before I start my plan. So that was another thing that I wanted to request in case you have that.

Yeah, felt, this felt wool.

I think mostly it should, it should be okay. Yeah. Yeah, and another— go ahead. Another question that I had was around— so, you know, you know, I've been to Athreya, right? And for the virechana— virechana is the diarrhea, induced diarrhea, right? So for that, I was given castor oil and it didn't work on me. And then I was given the Abhipati Churna, right? Yeah, which I had to actually do it twice. So I did the 3-day cleanse, the protocols, and then, you know, I was doing the other stuff, and then after a few days I was again put to do these 3 things again because the doctor wasn't satisfied with the results. So, you know, you've mentioned the castor oil for the virechana, right? I know it will not work in my case because it hasn't worked in the past also. So in those cases, then, you know, like, I know Abhipati Char Churna works for me. So would you give those alternatives?

Yes, absolutely.

Yes.

Yeah.

Well, I'm glad you brought this up. Then we are definitely going to do Abhipati Churna as well.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Yeah. So, yeah. So those were my things because, yeah, I mean, you know, there are things that will work for people and that there would be things that won't work. And I know in my case, castor oil is not going to work.

You know, sometimes what happens is because there is so much ama, the castor is not strong enough to go irritate it and get it out of your body. But because you have— for everybody to know, Abha has already done a panchakarma at the center. So as the ama clears up, it could be possible that the castor starts working faster for you.

Right. But now that it's been a few months and I'm— I can already sense that there's toxin buildup in the body. Yeah, because I can sense the pain that comes back and, you know, the inflammation and the vata is there, the pain is there.

So yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll get you back in shape. Just being part, just be part of the group. Even eating normally, I mean, what Hemaji did for her health is just diet, just very basic diet and some basic Ayurveda things because she's not in a condition and, you know, she's shared her, you know, really unfortunate healthcare in our group. So if you guys were following, there's no way we can give anything heavy to her because her system is so, you know, depleted at this point. So even that, regularly doing that with lot of shraddha will make a huge difference in Amma. Something as big as that, you know, the PRP numbers coming to, you, you know, a certain level, it's a huge marker that inflammation has reduced considerably, right?

Yeah.

Um, I think lastly, those were my questions, and I'm quite comfortable. I know I'd be able to do the, uh, you know, like, go through the entire protocol. Um, but yeah, these were the questions I have.

Wonderful, Appa. And I'm excited because you and I, we've shared some, a little bit of history with each other, so I know that.

Yeah.

9 videos that I have, they will really help you a lot with communication, feeling confident in yourself, speaking up for yourself especially.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. And that's one of the big reasons that I thought that I needed it, because it's just not the cleanse, it's also the other aspects that, that I need. And I definitely need it.

You guys will be like, wow, because it, it will go into the woo-woo realm a little bit, but I know most of you are already, you know, you, you all have been healing a lot and, you know, you've been taking care of your body. You understand intuition. We women are powerful. We are born with like this internal guidance system. When we are healthy and when we are connected to our body, we can do magic. Magic happens for us.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

Totally. Uh, Natasha Ji, did you have a question? Komal, I'll come to you in a minute. Uh, Natasha has been so sweet, she's on video, so I want to appreciate that. Natasha's already signed up, so welcome.

Thank you, thank you. My biggest question is, um, for last, uh, I know I, I don't know much about Ayurveda, I'm still learning, um, a few.

You guys trust me to just jump in.

I just take once in a while Triphala, not once in a while, I take Triphala Guggul quite regularly and it's helped me, um, but my biggest thing is I take a lot of vitamins, um, I have B12, I take magnesium glycinate for sleeping, I have some other things. My concern is when we start taking, when we start going through this journey, do I have to stop? Because I recently discovered magnesium glycinate and it's helped me to sleep so much. I don't want to lose that. During this process, would I be still taking them or I should have to hold them for some time?

Absolutely, you'll be continuing to take whatever is supportive to your body. I don't ask you to stop anything except if you were doing something like you were taking iron and it was causing you constipation or something like that. That's the only thing I'll ask you to, you know, I'll request you to stop. I'm not a physician, so I don't intervene in your medication or your supplements in any way. You maintain your health. We are just making everything better.

That sounds good. The last question I have is I have a lot of heat in my body. I take aloe vera juice, I take everything. So my thing is, when we start doing this, and I know there are certain spices that make your body more prone to heat, would I— would that— would you be able to guide me, tell me, hey, don't do this or take that? Because all over my body I have so much heat and inflammation and a lot of other things, but the heat is the worst.

Yeah, yeah. A lot of times when we have ama, it's almost like all the doors and the windows of the house are closed., and then the heat inside the house is staying inside. So as we start to cleanse, as we start to sweat— when was the last time you sweated very well, Natasha Ji?

I do it every day because I work out like crazy. I started taking some vitamins and that's helped me a lot in terms of my energy level with the functional doctor, medicine doctor. So now I work out a lot. I used to not work out so much. I have more. So it's every day, at least 5 times a day.

Okay, 5 times a day or 5 times a week?

Oh, sorry, 5 times a week. Sorry.

Great, great.

Let's—

we'll, we'll look at your diet and see what is causing the heat. Already there is a lot of heat in, in the Bay Area, right? It's very hot right now. So for you, we'll do things a little differently. For people who feel— so I talked about vata, pitta, kapha, right? So people who have a lot of heat in their body, people who are acid reflux people whose skin gets patchy or has a lot of patches. So I'll tell you, like, these are all the signs whereby we know that you have a Pitta body type. So for Pittas, we will have a certain different kind of a diet. For Kaphas, we'll have a different diet. For Vatas, we'll have a different diet.

But yeah, yeah, yeah.

I was going through your intake form, and in that intake form, when I was, um, looking at some of the options, I had more actually. Instead of choosing just one, I had two or three. How do we know which one to like select which is this.

This is because I could—

this was your intake form, the quiz to figure out if you are vata, pitta, kapha. And some of them, when I was clicking on it, I wish there were two options of clicking because I had two similar symptoms in that one question.

Yeah, see, we, we are all pure prakriti when we are born. Unfortunately, because of modern lifestyle, we are all only now vikriti. So it's difficult to say what is the prakriti anymore. So there are very few people who are— so what is prakriti? Prakriti is what we are born with, the specific combination of the three basic energies, vata, pitta, kapha, that we are born with. But now, by the time we are one month old, the environment affects us, mother's milk affects us, and we all start to accumulate vikriti, which are the overlying imbalances. So I may be born a Vata, but I may have Kapha imbalance. By the time we are in our 30s, 40s, we have already had decades of Vikriti, which is why it's all the Vikritis we are diagnosing now, that this is a specific reason I have a Vata Vikriti, I have a Kapha Vikriti, I have a Pitta Vikriti. And then somebody is like, oh, am I a Vata, Pitta, Kapha tridoshik person? No, no, no, we have 3 Vikritis. So that's the thing. So we just look at them, then we try and heal what is giving us most pain out of those 3 Vikritis. All— if you had 3 buckets saying Vata Vikriti, Pitta Vikriti, Kapha Vikriti, we say, okay, now which one of this is causing me most pain? We will attack that and then we will take care of that.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Got it.

Absolutely.

Thank you.

Komal ji.

Yeah, thank you, Salila Sukumaran. My question, so during the cleanse, will we be just eating our regular meals, or would you be helping with some, like, this is good and this is what you can have for breakfast, you can have for lunch and dinner?

Yes.

And is it okay? Yeah. And is it okay to have wheat and milk in during those days?

Um, wheat and milk depends. If you have something like PCOS, PCOD, hypothyroid, or extra weight gain, um, any kind of high BMI, high, uh, visceral fat, uh, very high subcutaneous fat, I will say we will drop wheat and milk. However, if you're a Vata body type, you are emaciated, you are not you're not gaining weight, then we will keep all that on because these increase kapha in the body. Two, um, I will give you some options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but I'm not going to force any one of you to stick to that. My philosophy is if you are not happy, I'm not happy. So I will give you guidelines, guidelines and options Within that, you can take your existing recipes and modify them. I'm not going to come and say, 'No, you have to do this like this, my way.' No, you take your existing recipes, look at the guidelines we have provided, craft those recipes to follow that guideline, and then it'll become much more healthy. That's more sustainable, I have seen. But some of my recipes, people love it. You know, I teach people how to do like millet and buttermilk porridge. I love it so much. And, um, that works great for people with like kapha issues, hypothyroid, PCOS, weight gain, high amount of fat in the body. So when you try it and you're like, oh my God, this is so good, I want to eat this every day.

So will you be sharing some of those recipes?

Absolutely. I'm an ex-chef, so I'm crazy about food.

Okay, all right, thank you.

Totally.

Hey, Maaji, so you answered part of my question when you said we are only working on vikriti these days, we don't know prakriti. But time and again you have mentioned that if you are a Vata person, or if you're a Pitta person. So when you say you're a Vata person or a Pitta person, you're still talking about the Vikriti and not the Prakriti, right?

We are looking at the Vikriti mostly. The— your pain, if you're having a lot of pain, if you have lost a lot of weight, you have high anxiety, if you have very dry skin and hair and bones, brittleness, if you have a lot of creaky, achy joints, then you are looking at a Vata Vikriti. Thank you for correcting that.

Yes.

A lot of people will show up in a slim, thin body when they have these issues, but there are also anomalies to that. If you have a lot of diarrhea, you have rashes, you get easily sunburnt, you lose your temper a lot, you have acid reflux. If you're having blotchy patchy skin and you break out very quickly, you have allergy very quickly on your skin, then you are mostly a Pitta Vikriti. And if you have issues like hypothyroid, you have PCOS, PCOD, you have an increased fat percentage, you feel a— you know, you don't feel like getting out of the house, you don't— you have to push yourself to exercise, you are a Kapha Vikriti. You could be presenting in a Kapha body with all those Usually people present in a body that kind of tells me that, yeah, this could be the issue. I haven't seen someone with a Vata appearance have a lot of Kapha issues. So those are— there are confusions when there's like a mix of body types, but as long as we are using the main Vikritis and the the low-hanging fruit, what can we really hit out of the park. We are addressing that, we are initiating the healing process, and the body then recovers by itself.

Okay, so it's not 100% important to know what prakriti or vikriti. So if I'm somebody who's confused, I don't know what am I, then it's still fine? With the program.

Yes, because the cleanse itself is doing the main thing. You know, it's like we are not— when we are doing a consultation, this becomes more important to pinpoint exactly what is what to apply the remedy. Here we are like bringing, like the maids are coming, they want to clean up your house. It doesn't matter what your house is. It's going to be clean at the end.

Okay. In my consultation with you, you told me that I'm Pitta and Kapha. So those are my imbalances then?

Those are the imbalances. But I think Prakriti is also similar to that.

Yeah.

Because I must have asked you questions about your childhood and all that.

Like, yeah.

So that gives me some idea.

Yeah. Okay. Um, and another question is regarding getting the period. Um, I have PCOS, so, um, it's been a few months now that I have not had my period. And last time, whenever I had it, it's always been like that. I have really heavy period. There was one time when I was bleeding for one whole year and it would not stop with even medications. So I'm, I'm also scared of my period now, but I also want to get it because I don't want to keep it in my body. So If I'm somebody who has not had periods in last few months, when, when you give us guidelines to follow during the period, what am I going to be doing if I don't have my period? And do you also think this cleanse can make me have my period?

Yeah, usually everybody who cleanses, even if they don't have, not have had period for 6 months, I've had clients who will who immediately get period right after the cleanse. The day you finish your cleanse, the next day your period will come. The body knows. And then we are going to nourish you. So, uh, so it's good to know that the last time you got your periods, you bled for a whole year. What does your physician say? That would also be important because your, your periods are going to come when the cleanse is done. 21 days of everything is done. It's going to get restored. You know, God be with us that it is only for 5 days or 6 days or 7 days and not beyond that. I'm pretty sure your gynecologist can put a stop to it if they know how.

So any allopathic doctor has not been able to help me and I only get side effects with allopathic medication. So I don't take that anymore. Just for my diabetes, I do take one, but very low dose. So that's fine. But then For anything else, I've only been taking homeopathic, and that, that's a— that's helped me a lot. So if this cleanse makes me have my period, I'll be more than happy. But then, as I said, I'm also scared because I don't want to be bleeding for that long, because then I can't be a normal person. I cannot work, I cannot eat properly, I cannot do anything properly. But then I do have my homeopathic medication now. If this happens, then I can take that, and that helps me stop the period in a few days.

Yeah, I'll teach you guys Marma, and you can get your period with Marma just like the same day or the next day. So I'll teach you guys that, anybody who has challenges. And if— see, I'm— to be honest, I've never faced an issue where somebody's period has initiated and it's not stopping. So let's say your period goes beyond 7 days, I will talk to my Guruji and then I'll get some remedy for you.

Okay. And somebody else mentioned about getting some equipment to be ready to— ready for this cleanse. Are there— I didn't even think about that. So thank you, whoever asked this question. Are there going to be a lot of things? Because as this person also mentioned, in some places, it's so expensive, but in India, it's cheaper. And in Vancouver area, it's also very expensive everything. So I would like to get everything from somewhere else or maybe get some time to, you know, order it online. So are there a lot of things that we need to order?

No, no, just a little bit— enema pipettes and a couple of oils. And I'll give you guys options. If you don't have this, then you can get this. Usually everybody gets clients are all over the world. India means, you know, they just call and immediately the person is there. In India, it's so easy. But places like Vancouver, Dubai, and all that, you can order on Amazon within, you know, 4 or 5 days, at the most 7 days, you get it.

Most of it is—

we don't need that right away. It'll be in the middle of the program or a few days after we start the program.

Right.

On 12th of July, I will tell you the list of things to get. We only need like a spice. You can get that from any Indian store close by, anywhere they— where they stock Indian supplements and herbs, you'll get that. Or you can order on Amazon, because till you get it from Amazon, you can start your cleanse, you can get on the diet.

So yeah.

Okay, thank you. That's all.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Sorry. Yeah, yeah. I just have a question, right? So I think I mentioned it in my chat as well. And I just remembered now. So, you know, I was given the Ashwagandha and licorice powder to consume on a daily basis, right? So I must— it was around 1 gram, I think, like I was taking it 3 times a day.

Yeah.

Um, and it was in the ratio of 250 grams of ashwagandha mixed with 100 grams of licorice powder, uh, 3 times a day, right? That was basically 3 grams I had to take each time, so 9 grams in a day.

Yeah.

And that would mean that I was taking at least around a gram each time, right, for the pepper powder. Now my question is that when I do the Vamana, right, and I know that it helps you to induce the vomit, my system is already used to it. So if you take 1 gram, it might not be enough for me, like, you know, like, because the system is already habitual to taking it for— I was taking it for my acidity, acid reflux.

Um, we do with the different thing. We do with pepperly and mustard, and we make licorice tea. We make a strong licorice decoction. We'll be using licorice decoction, black salt decoction, and milk for Vamana.

Right, okay. So I mean, okay, so the entire combination works together. It's just not the licorice tea, right?

Right, right.

We liquor— it's, it's licorice plus black salt and then milk separately, and then you are going to drink glasses of it and then induce. So it's going to happen because you're going to chew on peppali and mustard to induce that vomiting. And vomiting will be difficult for many people. However, once you've gone through it, your hormones are going to restore. Your mind is going to restore. So it's incredible how powerful it is. I've had moms who have done Vamana and their breast milk has improved and the baby has become happier.

Right. Also, I'm very used to drinking loads of water. Like, you know, when I did the Vamana earlier, I could drink quite a lot of water. So here I read it, it was around 2 to 3 glasses of water only, right? Or we could drink more also? Because I don't think 2 to 3 glasses would do anything to me because I'm used to drinking more.

Okay, Abha, that is a problem. If you drink at a stretch, you're drinking more than 2 to 3 glasses, are you saying?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. When I was doing the Vamana, we were given loads to drink and I would drink quite a lot. Okay, to vomit.

Yeah, we will talk about it. We will talk about it. If you want to drink more, absolutely go drink more. You've downloaded the ebook, right? I'm going to modify that slightly for, for, you know, for our group situation. I'm going to modify it a little bit. And then I'm going to share again. So yeah, I'll add on that.

Yeah. Okay, right. Thank you.

Absolutely. Komal ji.

Yeah. So Salila ji, my question was, so when we meeting on the 12th, do we, after that, all of us, we start with that herbal mix? I have the PDF that you sent from the 14th. So we start the cleanse?

Yeah.

We meet, I'm only going to send an email and make a post on Facebook for getting our stuff together on the 12th. On 14th, we have the Zoom session where I take you through the, like, the calendar. We will create a plan for ourselves, and then I am going to share a modified PDF for you guys. So we're not going to exactly follow the PDF that we have because I feel like there needs to be some modification to manage the group size. So, um, yeah, so on the 14th, then once you have your calendar, then you'll follow your calendar, but you will stay in touch with the group and attend the Zoom sessions to ask your questions and to share your updates. Because day 1 onwards, your diet is going to be shifted. You will take 1 or 2 days to change your diet, then So it's either 2 weeks of diet, then Phase 1, then Phase 2. Or some of you, like, um, Kamalji, you, right, your, your period is about to come. So by the time we kickstart, you will be jumping straight into Phase 1, Phase 2, and then you can follow with— continue to follow with a good diet.

I think what I feel, uh, so in— so that— does that mean everybody's day 1 will be different?

Everybody's day 1 will be different. Everybody's— so before the pre-cleanse is 2 weeks of diet. If we can get 2 weeks of diet in, that's great. Otherwise, we start with Phase 1 and then Phase 2 and then continue with the diet. The diet, we have to do diet throughout anyway. Some of you will have about 2 weeks of time to do the diet properly, to tweak your diet, to learn from others and all that. Some of you will be jumping right away into Phase 1. Some of you will have a few days to figure your diet and then slowly ease into Phase 1. Depending— all depends on your period start date.

So if I'm getting— I'm thinking, feels like it, that I might get the period today or tomorrow, looks like it. So then when I start, then I will not have period in my 21 days. So that means, will I have to— after Phase 1, I'll have to wait for another for the, my, for the Rakta thing, you know.

Yeah, right.

So once you're done with your, um, entire program, your period will come within days. Your period will come. So Rakta Mokshana you can do within the next 3 months. So if, let's say, somebody was menopausal in our group, they don't have periods. Right, I don't have periods, so if I am doing a cleanse, I will go and donate blood in the next 3 months anytime, that will be considered as Rakta Mokshana. Now you as a lady who's still having her periods, you're going to have your periods, that could be considered Rakta Mokshana, but if you were in good health, then I would say after your periods are done, about 7 days later, go donate blood as well. Because when we donate blood, we donate about, I think, 150 ml. Our periods is only, I think, about 40-50 ml. So if you have some blood toxicity, if you have major Pitta issues where you have patches on the skin, you get quickly allergic, you have diarrhea, any major Pitta issues, skin issues are there, I would say donate blood.

Yeah, I have made— I, it looks like from the PDF, I'm Pitta, and I have those severe allergy symptoms from some foods. So, uh, yeah, we'll see how it goes.

Yeah, right, right.

But I'm— but also I'm low in iron levels, so I'm not sure if I can donate blood.

Yeah, so in the next 3 months, when your iron levels come back to normal, then absolutely. This cleanse itself will improve your iron levels. Because your metabolic fire becomes better.

Okay, I have one similar question to what Komal was just asking. Um, I had a lot of bleeding in the past, and 5 years back I had a procedure done, and now I have— like, with the surgery there was PCOD, everything, IUD. So I have IUD, so that controls my bleeding. I had out-of-control bleeding with pain. Uh, so now my bleeding has kind of stopped, and it does come but it comes very, very, very less. So will this trigger it? Will it make it worse? Because I don't want to go through that pain, and I had periods for more than 7 days.

Yeah, you know, the cleanse is about balancing our energies, so whatever is good for our body, that's going to happen. Uh, and this is why we are doing 8 Zoom sessions, so that you're sharing your issues with me during each time, just like now. And I'm there to quickly catch and course correct if something is going wrong. No part of this cleanse should feel like suffering for you. It should— every day your body should feel better and better. If you are sleeping on time, if you're not exercising like crazy, if you are not, you know, like going out in the cold and not wearing a jacket and things like that, that will set us back. You're not like jumped into a swimming pool and swam for 5 hours, that will be a problem. But considering all the situations are maintained on the same level, your body should every day feel better, better, better, better. And you'd be like, wow, I can't believe this. That's how a good cleanse feels.

Yeah, amazing.

Looking forward for it.

Yeah, thank you.

Sorry to— yeah, sorry to come back to just one more. So if we start on 14th, for example, in I start on the 14th, but my period won't be coinciding with— I think you have some start on this on day 4th or day 5. Can I not wait for that and just start on the 14th, or do we have to match it, the, the, the list that you sent? You know, uh, some— there was something on this should be done starting if the periods are having— start this on day 5 or day 4.

The day you are in, you are in. We are all starting. Okay, so there is the diet period, there is the Phase 1, there is the Phase 2. Diet is we are changing the diet up, we are starting to go on an herbal supplement which works for our body depending on whether we are Vata, Pitta, or Kapha, right? So that is happening as soon as— for everybody on 14th of July. That will start happening as soon as they— on 12th, if they're gone and purchase the supplements that I want them to, like, yeah, maybe one herbal supplement. Yeah, so starting on the 14th of July, irrespective, okay, one of your cleanse will start on the 4th to the 6th day of your period. You can choose.

Then I'll have to wait, that means, for that next period, there'll be a gap. Right, so in that gap we take, we keep taking the supplement that we were taking in the, the, with the diet.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sorry, I'm not able to like draw and show you because I'm a visual person and I also see things better visually. So, so that means 14th we start with the herb, we start, start modifying our diet. Yeah, some people we will have 4 days of that Some people will have 8 days, some people will have 10 days, but by, by the middle, everybody will be in. If they're outliers, we'll take care of them. Nobody is going to spend 3 weeks just doing diet, maximum 2 weeks. Everybody's periods will come by then.

Mine, mine might not. For example, if I'm getting them now and I'm on a 24-day cycle or 28-day cycle, How do you—

if yours is coming now, today is 8th, let's say tomorrow you get your period. Yeah, you'll start on 14th of July. You are starting on your day of— on today is what, 8th, right? So 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. On 12th is your 4th day of period. 14th is your 6th day of period. So you are starting with Phase 1 on 14th. So you are actually ahead of the game. You'll be doing your diet You'll be doing your supplement and you'll be doing Phase 1 altogether.

So if you— okay, I'll have to read what was there in Phase 1.

Yeah, Phase 1 is you're going to be starting on the supplement, the titrated manner. We take the supplements in a certain way.

Yeah, yeah, but that's happening on the 14th, right? No?

Yeah, that's happening on the 14th for you if your period comes tomorrow.

Okay, okay. You—

it's good. For those who have to wait for 1 to 2 weeks, for them, they have the added benefit of managing their diet, getting used to the dinacharya, because it's not just the diet. We are also doing dinacharya, right? We are doing the diet, we are doing the dinacharya, we're doing the supplement, we are getting ready, we are watching, we are reading about other people, we are attending the Zoom sessions every 3 days. So we are staying accountable every day. We are looking at our tongue every day. We are doing Abhyangam, we are doing Nasya. These are the things that really make us healthy. You know, I have magical, magical transformations from my Dinacharya challenges, like people getting pregnant after 10 years of not thinking they were infertile, thinking their body couldn't have a baby. Simply by doing Dinacharya, they got fertile. So just imagine doing the diet the supplement plus the dinacharya, how healthy you will be.

Thank you, Salila.

Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

Salila, I have a question. So I don't know if I can— if that's something that we can do or not. So assuming that I'm away from 25th onwards, right, if I still want you to start on 14th, You know, would I still start on 14th? Maybe those 6 days or 5 days when I'm traveling and I'm away and I can't do anything about the diet, I still try and eat as clean as I can.

Absolutely.

I have people who go to weddings during the cleanse and are able to go to the buffet and select things that work for their body. I created this cleanse for the busiest of my clients who are traveling. It's— they wanted to be healthy even while they were traveling, even while they had their hectic lives.

Styles.

So when we— the supplement, that herbal supplement, that takes— that's like, that pulls the full weight. So these little indiscretions here and there, it's perfectly okay as long as Phase 2 very well, the cleansing very well. Yeah, yeah, right.

So which is the Virechana, Vamana, and the, uh, these, right? So my other then question is that once I'm back, could I still continue with the diet the first 2 weeks and then get on, and then I'll get my periods in between, and then do the cleanse part, the panchakarma part. Is that an option? Like, we prolong the diet phase, basically.

Yeah, it's up to you if you think that will benefit you. See, and then you can get back during your phase 2 in case there's an issue. And for you, I feel confident because you've already gone through it, right?

You—

so basically what we're doing is we're only prolonging. We start from 14. Um, I do it with all the— like, you know, I do it proactively till the day I travel, and then I just be mindful and I eat as much better and cleaner options I can.

Yeah.

And then come back, have my periods, and then again keep on with the diet. And then I do the cleanse?

Uh, it's— or is that too long to do that? I think that would be an overkill. It's better for you to start your— on the next cycle, 4th day, it's better for you to jump into Phase 1 because Phase 1 itself is diet, dinacharya, and herbal supplement. You don't need to prolong it with an additional just diet. Your body will be ready.

Okay, so I basically start then August towards the first week or second week, whenever, when, whenever, basically somewhere around 6th, 7th August.

Yeah, we'll do your calendar. Well, when we have the calendar in front of us, we'll all be able to think better. And then I'll also be able to like give you extra information.

Yeah.

Let me— Himaji, let me talk to Chelsea, Neha, Usha, and Miniji, and then I'll come to you.

Okay? Sure.

They've been very patient. Chelsea, good to see you.

Hello.

Would you be able to be on video?

No, I'm in a Um, I'm with a baby right now, uh, working.

I know you were trying to get pregnant last time.

Yeah, I'm actually— I'm with a baby. I'm working with a family and she's sleeping, so I'll just listen for now. But my question in the chat.

Okay, okay, let me look at the chat quickly. Okay, so we've answered that question. So does that mean we all start on different days? Yes, we all start on different days. Somebody with PCOD like me who has not had periods in the last few months, what happens? You will get your periods most probably by the end of the cleanse. Chelsea's wanting to ask, how can this be helpful for fertility? I'm dealing with— okay, okay, uh, early baby loss and no answers from doctors. Uh, our cats look— looks like twins. Okay, is it okay if we have to travel a few days in between and once we start we commit 100%. Chelsea, this is one of the best programs I have for all kinds of hormonal issues, thyroid issues, PCOS, hypothyroid, hyperthyroid, um, menopause, perimenopause. This works wonderfully well. And, uh, during our final meeting, I will share the way forward, what you have to do. Chelsea, you've also been part of my fertility, um, journey, right? So you have a lot of fertility-related information, so perhaps— and you have access to all that. So as you're doing the cleanse, if you could go back to those modules and look at it, there's a lot of good, uh, like milks and stuff that I've given there. So once you do this cleanse, you prepare your body, and then you apply that and connect with your partner. I'm very hopeful things will work out for you.

Thank you.

Yeah, and you've not had any issues per se, right? There's no physical issue, right? There's no— like, gynecologists have not told you anything about AMH levels and things like that?

Yes, so I have had higher, uh, AMH levels. And, um, they thought I had PCOS, but then when we looked at it, I have my period very regularly, no weight gain, so they said I don't meet the list for PCOS. And now there, there might be, um, issues with my progesterone levels. Okay, but I haven't been approved for the infertility tests because I keep getting pregnant, but I'm not keeping it. So yeah, and here in this—

after you get pregnant, yeah, yeah.

And it's very early, like within the first 3 months.

Yeah, yeah. I'm sorry, dear, that's tough. I went through a bunch of those myself. Yeah, let's work together. This is the best program we have. Rest is up to God, unless you wanted to go to Kerala and do a proper panchakarma in center. But Abhaji here has done that, and you know, we can do that to heal our body, but to stay healthy and to continue to make good choices for ourselves it's important to do a little bit more involved work one-on-one. And you've already taken many of my courses, you, you know me, that, uh, and, and you have access to the fertility courses, so you can really tailor this for yourself. If you have any questions, we can talk about this as well, because when I met you last year, I set the intention in my own heart that, you know, you are successful that you are able to be a mother.

Thank you, Salila.

Absolutely, dear.

Meeniji, how are you?

Namaste. Namaste.

Good, good, good.

How are you?

I'm doing well. You're looking well. You're— ah, there she is, your little one. Keeping time. So I just wanted to—

before that, I wanted to just listen to you.

Yeah.

To join you as soon as possible.

That's what I could say now. Are you going to be joining?

No, not now.

Okay.

Because it's a handful of jobs.

Yes, I see. Yeah, thank you so much for being a part of this. And yes, thank you.

Thank you, Prof.

Usha Ji.

Namaste, Salila Ji. Yeah, so basically some of my questions that I had, I think has been answered. My main concern was I want to register, I've not yet joined, but my concern was I kind of handle dropping and picking up my daughter on a daily basis, couple of times to all her classes and her school. So I just wanted to know if, if I do this, will there be some kind of weakness Will the body need rest? So I wanted to know, but I think you said there are some people who have attended weddings. So, and I do not have any help at home. We have recently moved to Meghalaya just about 2 months back. And I do not have any house help. So I'm doing everything at home plus the office work. And, you know, this going around and dropping her to classes and schools and all that. So it's a very active life that way where I have to constantly keep moving out, in and out of the house. And if that's okay, if I register, and then I should not be in between feeling, you know, I can't do this. So just wanted to know that.

To be honest, you will have days where some days you will feel very tired and you take a nap. So it's up to you. You can arrange your life in such a way that, you know, you can take care of these issues Because sometimes I'll have clients who are like, I'm doing all this, now I'm also going to go do a workout, right?

Right.

And then there's only so many energy points in the morning. When we are doing a cleanse, 50% of that will get taken by the cleanse because the cleanse is like, it's making our body work hard, it's burning through the ama, right? And then you have to show up for, you know, picking and dropping and all that. I know that can be stressful. I'm a child mother myself. Uh, what I would say is make everything else very easy so that your priorities are your body, your child. I know women who are so caught up by managing the household that they have like chronic, chronic issues, and they are not able to take time for themselves. So maybe not a good time for you, maybe, because you are going to go— when you go through like diarrhea, you are going to be in the bathroom till 3 PM. So you don't have any help at all, and that you have to go pick up your child, that's not going to work that day unless You do have like Saturday, Sunday off? Do you get a break on Saturday and Sunday?

Yes, Saturday, Sunday is off work-wise as well as school and other classes.

Okay, then we can totally— yeah, we can do it. But on weekdays, I will request you, I will like beg you, please don't do crazy workouts. Please don't. Become super mom and do something. Just cruise.

Just— right.

Because the cleanse will demand a lot. Because when there's a lot of strain on the system, if we do more, the system breaks.

Right.

I'm sorry, my daughter was laughing at the super mom thing when you mentioned.

You'll catch a fever. Because I've had Every, every month I have about 5 to 6 premium clients coming into my system. And some of them will push themselves, they'll start feeling very good. So then they'll be like, yeah, let me now go do this. They'll catch a fever. So okay, and then I have to ask them to go and take care of themselves and then come back again.

Right, ma'am.

So no superheroes in this group.

Yes.

All right, sign up because I'm gonna raise the price. I haven't been able to go check the stuff, but today I'm launching, so I can't give the presale price anymore. I will be raising it, and I will be raising it considerably because I want people to value it. This presale price is only for my community. Because you all have stayed in touch with me in the WhatsApp group, in the webinar group, and all that. Hello, Hemaji.

Yes, so you said I might get my period during the cleanse, but what if I don't? How will I get to Phase 1 and 2 then?

If you don't have a period or you, you know, you're not getting a period, we start right away for you.

So from Phase 1?

Yeah, Phase 1, July 14th. By July 14th, you will have everything you need and then you start.

Okay. And All the Zoom sessions, are they going to be all at 7 AM Pacific time?

I hope so, yeah.

Okay, so right now I'm not working. Hopefully I will get back to work, but if I do get back to work during the cleanse, I start working at 7. That means I will not be able to attend any sessions then. So you think just watching the videos will be enough? If I don't, if I'm not able to, assuming I'm not able to attend any sessions at all.

Yeah, because it'll be again question and answers like this. And then it will be posted on our Facebook group. So you can watch it there. And if you have any questions, just ask in the Facebook group, then we'll manage that from there.

Okay, and just one last thing. And if you want, you can choose not to answer. Because I know it, for you, it's your passion for healing, plus it's your bread and butter as well. So you can choose not to answer if you don't want to. So if I'm not able to do the cleanse right now, but now that you have this program set up, do you think you will have something similar or maybe the same one in the future as well?

So all this takes a lot of energy, right? For me, working with premium clients one-on-one is the easiest for me, gives me the best work-life balance, right? And I don't— or I've worked in the corporate world. I am a sort of person who works her butt off, so it's my nature to work more than less. So for me to now come to a place where I don't have to worry about working like crazy. I do all this because I, I want to offer the same experience at a lower price for a long— a large number of people. You guys are not going to believe it, but last 2 weeks I've had to work really hard to set all this up, right? And then I have a big community on social media, so when I post something, thousands of people reach out to me. So this is all a lot of work for me. So for me, if I'm just handling one-on-one clients, very easy setup. So I might take a break in the next coming months, um, or if, if I look, if it seems like, oh, I don't, this wasn't as bad as I thought, and that I can have the stamina to do this month after month after month, or every 2 months, I might come back to that as well. But right now, this is a pilot. So I'm testing it out, like, how much of my energy is this taking?

Okay.

Yeah, I hope that answered.

Thank you. Yes, it does.

Thank you.

All right, my dears. Anybody else has a question before we say bye? I think we've already passed.

Last question, Salila Sukumaran. For the things to be bought, like pure castor oil, the abean oil and there was something oil, uh, and the pipettes. Would you be recommending some, uh, like buy these or, or because I might not know if this oil is castor oil is what I should be using or I'm, we are in, I'm in Vancouver, so something like that which if you could maybe from Amazon.

Yeah, so 12th of July I'll send you guys that information. On Facebook. If you want, I can shoot a video so that, you know, you can watch the video. Otherwise, I'm going to send you a list. I don't— when it comes to medicines, I have one favorite brand, which is Kotakal Arya Vaidya Shala, because they have one of the best. And then pipits and stuff, each nation, country will have different manufacturers, but I'll tell you that these are the specifics. Then, um, castor oil. I ask you to look for, um, pure medical grade castor oil because what you buy on Amazon for beauty and hair treatment and this and that, sometimes 1 out of 100 clients will react to that because the purification process has not been done right. It has something called ricin, which is a very major poison, and I have had clients who had gone into ER by using castor oil they got from Amazon. So best to buy from pharmacy, castor oil from pharmacy.

Okay.

Usually Indian stores don't have it.

Yeah, Indian stores do have it, but I can't trust them. Like, we don't trust because how authentic? It's just like getting mustard oil or any other oil, right? So I would rather go buy from a pharmacy because it I don't know. I mean, I have it from an Indian store, but as you mentioned, I don't know how authentic that is.

Right, right.

Farmacy is the best. Yes.

Yeah. And the other organic oils would be— you'll tell us where to buy from, right?

Right, right.

As long as it is anything that is, you know, in any country, the best grade, that's perfect. I'm not tied to any brands. So Medicines, I say, okay, either Cortical or Kairali or Kerala Ayurveda or Sitaram. These are some of the ones. Cortical always gets the top marks. Rest are all comparable, but next in line.

Yeah.

All right, Nehaji.

Hi.

Hello, how are you?

I'm doing very good. So I was— so I started my periods on Saturday and I'll be ending it in a day or two. And I don't think in the 21 days I may have my periods. Does that matter?

No, I have my periods. Right after you finish, you'll get your period and that will be your Akta Mokshana. Unless you wanted to go donate blood and make it a little bit more.

No, so I am exactly— I am very low on iron and I'm on iron supplements. So I do feel breathless if I walk a lot of stairs or, you know, if I do an uphill walk. Yeah, so blood donation is way out of my league right now.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You signed up, right?

I think—

yes, I did.

I did speak to you offline as well.

Wonderful. Well, thank you so much for joining the program. So thank you to everybody who joined the program, and I hope I can inspire the rest, um, as well. Neha ji, any— anything else?

No, no, this was the only thing about periods that I wanted to ask.

Thank you for being so patient.

Thank you.

Well, I send everybody blessings and lots of good wishes, and I'll see you all soon.

Namaste.

Thank you.

Thank you, everyone. Thank you, Salila Sukumaran.
