The Science of Chhath: Detoxification and Healing

Besides its deep spiritual significance, Chhath Puja incorporates rituals that harmonize well with natural healing and Ayurvedic concepts.

Fasting and Autophagy

The 36-hour Nirjala fast serves as an extensive cleanse for the digestive system. According to modern science, extended fasting initiates autophagya cellular maintenance mechanism that decreases inflammation and supports cell renewal.

Safe Sun Exposure (Heliotherapy)

Performing Arghya at specific sunrise and sunset times exposes the body to safe ultraviolet radiation levels. This encourages Vitamin D production, essential for bone strength and seasonal immunity just before the onset of harsh winter.
