Aaron Rodgers’ Extreme Panchakarma Cleanse Explained

Aaron Rodgers just got out of an extreme cleanse.

Of course he had to let the entire world know about it. Rodgers told Pat McAfee that he just completed a Panchakarma cleanse, which put him off the grid for about two weeks.

“There will be no news today,” Rodgers said. “No decision on my future. As I was texting with you yesterday, I just got out of a 12-day Panchakarma. Look that up. I know you did after we talked. It’s a cleanse that originated in India. It’s been going on for thousands of years, and it’s something I’ve done in the offseason. So I’m just getting my hand above the sand now and seeing what’s going on there.”

After the cleanse, the Green Bay Packers star took to Instagram to express his gratitude to everyone in his life.

This had everyone asking what the cleanse involves.

Via NBC Sport Chicago:

What is a Panchakarma cleanse?

A Panchakarma cleanse is a five-step detox process that cleanses the body of all unwanted waste out of the body.

Many have reported that the cleanse heals the digestive system, enhances immunity, produces deep relaxation and a “meditative outlook on life,” among other things.

Sounds pretty intense.

Remember back in the day when  Aaron Rodgers was just a QB playing in Green Bay.

Now he loves the sound of his own voice more than most.

Hopefully that cleanse cleaned out all the BS he’s been spewing over the last few years.
