The festive season brings joy, lights, and delicious food — but it also brings late nights, heavy sweets, and irregular routines. After Diwali, many people feel sluggish, bloated, or hormonally imbalanced. For couples planning conception, these changes can temporarily disturb metabolism, digestion, and fertility health.
Ayurveda recommends a seasonal post-festival detox to restore Agni (digestive fire), balance doshas, and rejuvenate reproductive tissues. This is especially beneficial for those preparing for conception or already on fertility treatment.
How Diwali Lifestyle Affects Fertility
- Overeating sweets & fried food → produces Ama (toxins) and slows metabolism.
- Irregular sleep & stress → disturbs hormonal rhythm and ovulation.
- Neglected exercise → increases Kapha, leading to sluggish digestion and weight gain.
Ayurveda suggests a short cleansing phase after festive indulgence to re-activate the body’s natural fertility rhythm.

A gentle detox lasting 7–15 days with the right diet, routine, and therapies gives effective results.
Q4. Is detox safe for those planning pregnancy?
