Authentic Ayurvedic detox diets at wellness retreats vs tourist spas

An authentic Ayurvedic Panchakarma center will strictly control your diet. A certified doctor will check your dosha (body constitution) and prescribe a specific, often very plain diet (like Kola Kenda porridge, boiled vegetables, and herbal teas) to cleanse your system. No alcohol, no meat, no heavy spices. If a place offers Ayurveda but serves you a standard spicy hotel buffet with beers, it is a tourist spa.
