A model for extraction of both lipid and water soluble toxins using a procedure from Maharishi Ayurveda.
Environmental toxicity from xenobiotic compounds is a major health concern today. This paper presents a hypothetical model for the removal of toxins from the physiology employing procedures of Maharishi Ayurveda, a comprehensive system of natural medicine, which is undergoing renewal. This model combines the use of principles similar to those which are found in lipid extraction, dialysis and bulk flow. A means of testing the hypothesis is also presented.
