Juice cleanses date back over 5,500 years, to an Ayurvedic medicine practice in India in which cleansers underwent an annual body detoxification ritual known as pancha karma. In English, this translates to “five actions” or “five treatments” which include purifying, cleansing and eliminating waste from the body, mind and consciousness, to prevent disease, eliminate toxins and restore balance.
