Ayurveda Tea

What is herbal tea in Ayurveda?

Ayurvedic tea is being brewed because 80% of the rural communities in India are said to be practising Ayurveda. Balance among three “doshas” or energies that constitute every human being, is intended by this practice.

In Ayurveda there are three doshas namely Vata, Pitta and Kapha which perform different functions within our bodies and bring about spiritual well-being when they are balanced.

Functions of different types of Ayurvedic Teas

Every kind of ayurvedic tea ingredients have different effects on your doshas depending on the type of ayurveda tea you go for. Some contain what is called tridoshic substances.

Those which balance all through the doshas like Cardamom Tea found in Spicy Turmeric Chai Tea supporting Vata, Pitta and Kapha while others mainly target one dosha but still do it effectively.

We have Ayurveda Anti Strain Tea VATA, Ayurveda Balance Tea PITTA and Ayurveda Stimulating Tea KAPHA. From their names alone you can almost tell which one does what. Each has something unique indeed amazing about it just as our other products too not forgetting that we pack them fresh upon order.

Advantages of drinking ayuverdic teas

The word ‘ayur’ translates to life from Sanskrit while ‘ved’ stands for knowledge therefore where “ayur-ved” come together means science or holistic thinking/lifestyle approach towards life. Unfortunately, these days people only associate with natural remedies without any scientific basis behind them.

But it actually also involves reasoning based on science so yes everything holds true even about teas such as these. Currently available evidence strongly suggests many medicinal properties present in the ingredients used to produce various concoctions termed as “ayuverdic”.

For example; antioxidants found abundantly within certain types of black/green/oolong plants do have capacity to neutralise harmful free radicals thereby minimising chances of developing chronic ailments like cancer among others.

There is further information available at present which indicates both parts of turmeric as well ginger have anti-inflammatory effects capable of relieving mild osteoarthritis based on findings from latest experiments carried out but not limited to this alone because liquorice root can also do such job besides helping those suffering from anxiety attacks as well people living with diabetes who are struggling with maintaining their blood sugar levels within the normal range.

Weight loss and Ayurvedic herbal tea

Cardamom, Ginger, Turmeric, Fennel, Black Peppercorns and Peppermint Tea often found in Ayurveda Tea can help one shed some pounds. A research conducted in 2009 by Tufts University Massachusetts USA revealed that mice fed on high fat diet suppressed growth rate for adipose tissue when exposed to curcumin/turmeric.

Hence showing potential benefits against obesity while another study involving only thirteen healthy individuals showed decreased appetite after taking few cups of mint infusion.

Almost all components increase the metabolism of fat cells, which enables the body to burn fat fast and more effectively. This means that exercise periods give better results and sometimes even quicker ones. Besides being a very low-calorie infusion each Ayurveda Tea is also a much healthier alternative to sugary, fatty soft drinks. They taste better too!

Ayurvedic Tea for Coughs, Colds and Sore Throats

Ginger contains high levels of Vitamin C which is known for its support of the immune system. It has antiviral properties too; this was proven by research published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology. Because of these two factors it prevents common illnesses like colds and flu from happening at all. If you have already got “the sniffles” then Ayurvedic Tea for sore throats and coughs will be perfect.

When included in a blend Liquorice shares Ginger’s antiviral properties as well as antimicrobial ones. A small study looked at volunteers who had breathing tubes put into their windpipe before surgery – when it was taken out again the tube caused POST (postoperative sore throat). However scientists discovered that symptoms were reduced by gargling Liquorice Tea solution for 1-15 minutes before surgery.

Ayurvedic Tea for Digestion

An Ayurvedic Anti Inflammatory Tea helps with coughs, colds and sore throats – but it can also support the GI tract further so that makes Ayurvedic Tea one of the Best Teas for Digestion. Fennel Tea was found to be one reason why in a review published in International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition 2012.

They found out that fennel increased spontaneous gastric motility as well as gastric acid secretions in animal models; this led them to conclude that “a herbal combination including fennel eliminated intestinal pain by 95% in test subjects…” Also Ginger again – its calmative properties soothe the stomach and reduce nausea. Turmeric, Peppercorns and Cinnamon Tea Benefits have the same effect.
