排除深层毒素│Removing Deep Ama

The original Sanskrit texts of Ayurveda make a powerful, wonderful point. It is a secret of health. The texts state that one should:

阿育吠陀的梵文原著经典提出了一个有力的、精彩的观点，这是健康的秘密。经文上说人们应该这样：

Chikitsatam vyadhikaram pathyam sadharanamaushadam prayshitam prakritisthapanprashanam itaman.

Translated, it says we should 'eliminate that which is not wholeness, that which is disrupting, by that which is suitable for the self, using procedures and preparations to restore the self, tore-establish prakriti (wholeness — our essential nature) and pacifyby that which is conducive to health.'

翻译过来：我们应该“消除那些不完整、扰乱的东西，通过那些适合自己的东西，运用规程和准备来修复自我，重建整体（prakriti我们的本质），并使用有益健康的东西来缓解。”

This is a potent understanding and a template for understanding how Ayurveda works. It is a pivotal insight and a key to understanding the mechanics of how you can maintain your health at a high level.

这是一个有效的理解，也是理解阿育吠陀如何作用的模板。这是一个关键的见解，也是理解如何保持健康的关键所在。

毒素的概念

The concept of Ama is unique to Ayurveda.In the classic texts of Ayurveda, Ama is described as the underlying cause of many health issues. In the Western medical approach, the focus is on the manifest state of illness or the sequence of events that leads to the creation of an illness. Ayurveda focuses on handling imbalances while they are in their infancy, and eliminating them with mild but effective non-obtrusive methods.

Ama（毒素）的概念是阿育吠陀所独有的，在阿育吠陀经典文献中，毒素被描述为许多健康问题的根本原因。西医方法关注疾病的明显症状，或导致疾病产生的系列事件。阿育吠陀专注于对治尚处于萌芽期的不平衡，并用温和有效的、非强迫性的方法消除它们。

三类毒素

Ayurveda recognizes three types of Ama. First, there is the Ama that is heavy and sticky; it is formed through poor diet aryhabits and low digestive fire. Over time Ama tends to accumulate in the system and block the channels of the body, causing a variety of conditions.

阿育吠陀认识到三类毒素。第一类毒素又重又粘，它是由不良饮食习惯和消化火低形成的。随着时间的推移，毒素倾向于在系统中积累并阻塞身体通道，导致各种状况。

The second type of Ama, which is more toxic, is called Amavisha. This type of Ama mixes with the Doshas or tissues or waste products of the body and causes more chronic problems.

第二类毒素毒性更大，被称为Amavisha。这类毒素与能量（Doshas）或组织、或身体废物混合，导致更多慢性问题。

A third type of Ama is called Garvisha; this is associated with bioaccumulation of environmental toxins. The human body has hundreds of different cell types and 50 to 75 trillion cells. Each one of your cells knows who you are and where it has to be in order for it to be part of you and to be able to communicate that to all the other cells. This is what is called inner intelligence. In the world of cells information must flow, and Ama blocks the flow of this information.

第三类毒素被称为Garvisha，这与环境毒素的生物积累有关。人体有数百种不同细胞类型，和50到75万亿细胞。你的每个细胞都知道你是谁，它必须在哪里才能成为你的一部分，并能够与所有其他细胞交流，这就是所谓的内在智能。在细胞的世界里，信息必须流动，而毒素阻碍了信息的流动。

Each type of Ama can lead to chronic illness if not addressed. Since the Ayurvedic texts were written down 5,000 years ago,pollution has become more of a concern. These days our body and mind are assaulted by all types of environmental toxins that have been associated with a wide variety of health imbalances. Removing this Ama has become more of apriority over the years.

如果不加以处理，每类毒素都可能导致慢性疾病。自从阿育吠陀文献在5000年前被记载下来以后，污染已经成为一个越来越令人担忧的问题。如今，我们的身心受到各种各样环境毒素的攻击，这些毒素与各种各样的健康失衡有关。近年来，排毒已经成为当务之急。

毒素如何形成

The main cause begins with what is called Pragya Aparadh, the mistake of the intellect, which leads to misuse of the mind, the senses and time. Mistakes of the intellect begin when one sees that which is harmful as useful, or not eating according to one's level of hunger or digestive power. The mistake of the senses can lead to being overshadowed by sensory desire, often seen in overeating, and mistakes in time relate to not eating according to the seasons or not varying one's diet according to the seasons. These mistakes lead to poor diet, wrong eating habits, overeating, unnecessary cravings and wrong routine. This in turn leads to aggravation of Vata, Pitta and Kapha ; imbalance within the Shrotas or channels of the body; and weak or dull digestive fire (Agni), which creates Ama.

主要根源始于所谓“智力错误”（Pragya Aparadh），它导致了对心智、感觉和时间的误用。当一个人把有害的东西看作有用的东西，或者不按照饥饿或消化能力水平进食时，就会导致智力错误。感官错误会被感官欲望所掩盖，通常表现为暴饮暴食。而时间上的错误则与不按季节进食或不按季节改变饮食有关。这些错误会导致不良饮食习惯、错误饮食习惯、暴饮暴食，不必要的渴望和错误的习惯。这进而导致了瓦塔（Vata）、皮塔（Pitta）和卡法（Kapha）的恶化，体内通道（Shrotas）不平衡，消化火(Agni)虚弱或迟钝，从而产生毒素。

毒素的体征和症状

It is said in the texts that the signs and Symptoms of Ama are seen as blocked channels, such as plaque building up in the arteries, lack of strength, or feeling heavy or sluggish. It's like you have not changed the oil in the car for too long and the engine is not running very well. Vata may feel disturbed, like things are not flowing properly. One can feel lazy, disinterested, with no enthusiasm. There may be signs of indigestion such as gas, bloating, constipation or diarrhea. One may have more mucus than usual, a lack of taste, and mental and physical tiredness.

据文献记载，毒素的体征和症状表现为通道堵塞，比如动脉斑块堆积、乏力、感觉沉重或乏力。就好像你很久没有给车换机油，引擎运转得也不是很好。瓦塔可能会感到扰乱，就像事情不正常流动，可能会觉得懒惰、冷漠、没有热情。可能有消化不良的症状，比如胀气、便秘或腹泻。可能比平时有更多的粘液、缺乏味觉、精神和身体疲劳。

When the Vaidya (Ayurvedic physician)takes the pulse, he feels as if the inner intelligence is covered; there is a lack of clarity, and it is hard to get information. The pulse is dull, lacking in vitality; it feels heavy, weak and sticky. Almost always the digestion(Agni) and metabolism are weak.

当阿育吠陀医师（Vaidya）把脉时，他感觉患者似乎内在智慧被遮盖，缺乏清晰度，很难获得信息。脉搏迟钝、缺乏活力，脉象沉重、虚弱、发粘，通常消化火（Agni）和新陈代谢很弱。

排除毒素

It is when the Vaidya sees, via the correct assessment of the unique nature of the individual, their Prakriti ,as well as the nature of their imbalance, Vikriti,that they can then be confident in the approach to the best way to rest orebalance. Only through skilled assessment and full knowledge can the strength of the Vaidya's recommendations and the sequence that is required to restore andmaintain health be ascertained. It is essential to not create a new imbalance or set of symptoms; intelligent and natural purification should balance all areas of the body. The nature of the detoxification procedure is to support the natural ability of the body to purify itself.

只有当阿育吠陀医师通过对患者个人体质（Prakriti），以及失衡本质（ Vikriti）做出正确评估，他们才能确认恢复平衡的最佳方法。只有通过熟练的评估和充分的知识，医嘱力度以及恢复和维持健康所需顺序才能确定。重要的是不要造成新的不平衡或系列症状，智能和自然净化应该平衡身体的各个部位，排毒程序的本质是支持身体净化自身的自然能力。

五步降低毒素

The first stage in eliminating Ama is always Nidan Parivarjanan — reduce the causes of Ama. Below, ten things that cause Ama:

排毒的第一步：减少毒素根源。下面是导致毒素的十件事：

• Overeating

  暴饮暴食

• Eating before the previous meal is digested.

  在前一餐未被消化前又进食。

• Not making lunch the main meal; eating large meals at night.

  不把午餐当成主餐，晚上吃大餐。

• Ice drinks and cold-food meals.

  吃冰饮料和冷餐。

• Food that isn't fresh, pure and organic. Old food,stale food, packaged foods

  吃不新鲜、不纯净、非有机、陈腐、包装食物。

• Eating without full attention on the meal; watching TV or reading. Eating too quickly.Eating while emotionally upset.

  吃饭时不全神贯注，边吃饭边看电视或读书，吃太快，情绪低落时吃东西。

• Not taking the heaviest parts of the meal first when the agni (digestive fire) is strongest.

  不在消化火最强时先吃最不易消化的食物。

• Not practicing the Meditation technique regularly.

  不经常练习冥想技巧。

• Not engaging in light, enjoyable exercise daily whenever possible, or a few times a week.

  没有每天或每周数次（只有可能）做轻松愉快的运动。

The next step is to digest the Ama, a processk nown as Ama Pachan, through the use of digestive substances. This can beas simple as sipping hot water, or using specific spices or herbal preparations.

下一步是通过运用消化物质来消化毒素，这个过程被称为Ama Pachan。这可以是简单的喝热水，或饮用特制香料或草药制剂。

Then comes Lekhan, or cleansing of the digestive tract. Lekhan means 'to scrape.' Again, this can be as simpleas taking a drink such as hot water and lemon in the morning, and may also include the use of specific spices such as ginger and black pepper or specific herbal preparations. But this depends on the prakriti of the individual, as certain spices may be too heating.

然后是清理消化道（Lekhan），Lekhan的意思是“刮掉”。同样，这可以是简单的喝一杯水，比如早上喝热水和柠檬水，也可以包括使用特定香料，比如生姜和黑胡椒，或特定草药制剂。但这取决于个人口味，因为某些香料可能太辣了。

The next step is to increase the digestive fire.This is known as Agni Dipan, or kindling the digestive fire through light diet. This may consist of a strict regimen beginning with liquid meals, progressing gradually to semi-liquid meals, then to thicker soups and gradually to more solid food over a period of time. One can always have a liquid diet once a week, particularly if over weight or more Kapha. The use of specific spices in the food, and herbal preparations taken at specific times of the meals and during the day, is helpful. Again, this is judged according to the agni of the individual and their nature.

下一步是增加消化火，这被称为Agni Dipan，或通过清淡饮食点燃消化火。这可能包括严格的方案，从流食开始，逐渐半流食，然后浓汤，一段时间后吃固体食物。人们可以每周吃一次流食，特别是如果超重或卡法（Kapha）过多。根据个人消化火及其体质，在食物和草药制剂中使用特定香料，白天在特定时间吃饭是有益的。

Finally comes Shodhan, which is the elimination of ama. This can be done with specific ayurvedic herbal formulas or, for a more intensive ama reduction, through Panchakarma. Panchakarma is aspecific supervised in-house cleansing program.

最后是排除毒素（Shodhan）。这可以通过特制阿育吠陀草药配方来实现，或者通过五步净化法（Panchakarma）排除更顽固的毒素。五步净化法是特殊监督下的内部清洁项目。
