Fasting is an ancient practice in the science of Naturopathy. It is a practice that involves abstaining from food or consuming very limited amounts of food for a period of time. It has been practiced for centuries in various cultures and has gained popularity in recent years for its potential health benefits.

before beginning a fast, one's individual constitution is taken into account. Since the digestive system is in a resting state during a fast, it is crucial to avoid unduly foods taxing the body's digestive fire. When one fasts, the digestive fire is triggered; in the absence of food, the digestive fire or agni gradually burns away, dissolving any toxins that have lodged deep within the intestinal tract.
