One of the most widely used internal purification programs of Ayurveda is Panchakarma. It eliminates the toxins from the body and rejuvenates it.

And in Panchakarma, the only thing you can eat for 7 days is Khichdi. It is a wholesome, nourishing, balanced food and is an excellent protein combination.

It is easy to digest and good for all the three doshas, and it is also cleansing.
