“Tea awakens the good spirit and wise thoughts. It refreshes the mind. If you are down, tea will cheer you up.” (Shen Nung)

Your cup of tea – Your Ayurveda tea from natural herbs

Although drinking tea is a pleasure all year round, we reach for the teapot more often in the cold months. In Ayurveda, teas are especially important because they can bring the Doshas into balance. With our concept of European Ayurveda®, we aim to adapt the ancient Indian healing teachings to our modern European challenges. This also includes using local herbs and plants for your own tea blends . Tailored to the needs of specific constitution types, we have the right Ayurveda tea for your Dosha.

The right European Ayurveda® tea for your Vata Dosha

In autumn, the Vata Dosha is particularly noticeable. It consists of the elements of space and air. Regardless of your Dosha type, Vata automatically increases in this season. And with it, certain problems that Vata types experience throughout the year. These include restlessness, nervousness, cold, dryness, weak digestion, bloating, too much or too little appetite, insomnia, or headaches. With our European Ayurveda® Vata tea , you can counteract an excess of Vatawith the special effects of the natural herbs it contains. The following is included in this Ayurveda tea:

• Ginger: warms you up and stimulates your Agni for good digestion

The right European Ayurveda® tea for your Kapha Dosha

Kapha becomes particularly evident in winter – the cold season. It consists of the elements water and earth and is mainly characterized by heaviness, coolness, and immobility. If you are generally a Kapha type, tendencies towards depressive moods, fatigue, oily skin, weight gain, lethargy, and colds with mucus formation may occur more frequently. These are conditions that we all have to deal with to some extent in the cold winter months . Our European Ayurveda® Kapha tea blend helps with natural treasures for gentle balance:

Typical of the fire element, Pitta becomes particularly apparent in summer. The properties are hot and oily. Temperament in disposition can lead to partially to disharmonies, as Pitta types tend to aggression and fits of anger. If your Pitta Dosha gets out of hand, you may be prone to sweating, diarrhea, skin irritations, heartburn, acidity, and inflammation. Everything that cools is good to curb Pitta. And here come the healing powers of fantastic herbs into play again. We have bundled these for the European Ayurveda® Pitta tea, so you can quickly regain balance. They include:
