Your gut is more than just a food processing system — it’s the command center for your immunity, mood, and overall vitality. When your intestines are clogged with toxins from processed foods, stress, or lack of sleep, your body shows it through fatigue, brain fog, bloating, and even skin breakouts.
Inspired by ancient wisdom and natural healing, including insights from Sadhguru, this guide gives you 7 natural ways to reset your gut and detox your intestines — using only affordable, everyday ingredients.
✅ 1. Start Your Day with Warm Lemon Water
Why it works:
Lemon water helps flush out toxins, stimulates bile production, and kickstarts your metabolism.
How to use it:
Squeeze half a lemon into a glass of warm water. Drink it every morning on an empty stomach for best results. Add a pinch of turmeric for anti-inflammatory benefits.
✅ 2. Try the “Triphala Cleanse” (Ayurvedic Remedy)
Why it works:
Triphala is a traditional Ayurvedic formula made from three fruits: Amla, Haritaki, and Bibhitaki. It’s gentle yet effective in cleansing the colon and supporting regular bowel movements.
How to use it:
Mix 1/2 teaspoon of Triphala powder with warm water. Drink before bed. Regular use helps detoxify the intestines naturally.
✅ 3. Use Psyllium Husk for Natural Fiber Boost
Why it works:
Psyllium husk acts like a broom for your intestines, sweeping out waste and toxins while supporting gut bacteria.
How to use it:
Add 1 teaspoon of psyllium husk to a glass of water or a smoothie. Drink it quickly before it thickens. Follow with another glass of water to prevent blockage.
✅ 4. Eat Fermented Foods for Gut Bacteria Balance
Why it works:
Fermented foods like yogurt, kimchi, kefir, and sauerkraut are rich in probiotics. These beneficial bacteria crowd out harmful microbes and help break down food efficiently.
Daily serving idea:
Add 1 tablespoon of kimchi to your lunch or have a bowl of unsweetened yogurt with chia seeds in the morning.
✅ 5. Add Ginger + Turmeric Shots for Gut Reset
Why it works:
Both ginger and turmeric have powerful anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. They soothe the gut lining and promote digestion.
Homemade gut shot recipe:
-
1 inch ginger root
-
1/2 tsp turmeric
-
Juice of 1 lemon
-
1 tbsp honey
-
1/2 cup warm water
Blend and drink it once daily before meals.
✅ 6. Do a 3-Day Natural Detox Soup Plan
Why it works:
Giving your gut a break with light, plant-based soups loaded with fiber, herbs, and spices helps reduce inflammation and clear out intestinal buildup.
Sample detox soup:
-
Boiled carrots, celery, garlic, turmeric, and ginger
-
Add lentils or mung beans for protein
-
Avoid cream, sugar, or dairy
Eat this soup 2–3 times a day for three days, combined with herbal teas and water.
✅ 7. Practice Yogic Gut Breathing & Movement
Why it works:
Simple yoga poses like Pawanmuktasana (Wind-Relieving Pose)
and Twisting Asanas help stimulate the abdominal region and improve digestion. Sadhguru often emphasizes yogic kriyas and breathwork as essential to inner cleansing.
Try this:
-
Practice deep belly breathing for 10 minutes daily
-
Perform twisting yoga poses after waking up or before bedtime
