Dry Brushing
This Ayurvedic treatment of gently brushing the body with a dry brush before bathing is said to stimulate circulation and the lymphatic system (a vital player in immune health) and remove dead skin cells.
Once a week, before your shower or bath, lightly brush the skin with small strokes toward the heart with a natural-bristled brush. Finish with the abdomen.

Drink Hot Water
Sipping a mug of warm water throughout the day is a common Ayurvedic practice to stimulate cleansing.
Adding fresh lemon juice to warm water and sipping before breakfast can stimulate the liver and clear ama (toxins) from your body.
It can help stimulate bowel movements as well. Add a pinch of cumin or ginger for a digestive boost.
