Jonathan Toews Shares Health Update After Detox

Former Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews has been largely absent from the public eye since his last NHL game in April 2023, as he continues to address serious health issues stemming from chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS) and long COVID. Recently, Toews shared an update on his healing journey, revealing that he spent five weeks in India undergoing an Ayurvedic detox program called Panchakarma, which he believes is yielding positive results. Throughout his career, Toews faced significant health challenges, including missing the entire 2020-21 season and struggling with his performance in the last two seasons of his career. He has not officially retired but has taken time away from hockey to focus on his recovery. In his social media posts, Toews expressed that Ayurveda has taught him to take responsibility for his health and align with nature's rhythms. Despite his uncertain future in the NHL, he remains optimistic about his path to wellness.
