Shatkarmas is process of cleaning the Body from inside. Why we need to clean the body from inside? We daily intake harmful chemicals, toxins and pollutants through eating, drinking and inhaling. Same also gets generated inside our body due to some body dis-functions. Imagine a plate we use daily to ear our meals and but never washed! How healthy and hygienic would it be to eat in that plate? That will get infected with germs and bacteria and they will produce harmful chemicals. To avoid the infection and production of harmful chemical we prefer to wash our plate every single time.
Our body also functions almost the same way. It observes all the nutrients and minerals from the water and food and leave all the unwanted chemicals and toxins there in our stomach. Though body though them out through urine and latrine but some particles keep stuck insides intestines and some get transmitted into our blood circulation. Similarly when we breather, our nose stop the dust and pollution particles in it and which leads to infection and allergy. It is really important to clean our body from inside more than from outside.
