Often, the three bioenergies are imbalanced, which can lead to blockages. The so-called pulse diagnosis determines what problems are present.

Traditionally, the Rauchnächte, or the "12 Nights," as they are also known, are considered particularly sacred. In European customs, they have a long history and are honored to this day—mostly in the form of incense.

The Rauhnächte are attributed with great spiritual energy and power. It is also believed that the threshold to the "other world" is particularly thin.

It is said that for every ailment there is a herb. Indeed, nature has blessed us with an abundance of herbs and medicinal plants. For relief from pain, calming nervousness, refreshing thirst, and warmth on frosty days. But drinking tea is also a ritual of importance in various cultures. It structures the day, serves to slow down, rest, and bring people together. You are more likely to have good conversations over a cup of tea than to argue. Often the tea needs to steep so its full flavor can develop. This automatically lowers your stress level. And the right Ayurveda tea for your Dosha additionally ensures even more harmony.

A cleansing or detox cure is very trendy. This goes hand in hand with the generally growing awareness of a healthy lifestyle.

Ayurveda originates from India and translates to "The Knowledge" (veda) "of Long Life" (ayur). It is the oldest holistic healing art of humanity and not only massages, special detoxification treatments, and yoga belong to the Ayurvedic lifestyle, but also nutrition. All elements together are intended to keep various body functions, such as metabolism, digestion, and tissues in balance, so that illnesses cannot arise. Eating habits can be adapted depending on the type. Ayurveda differentiates between the three doshas: Kapha, Pitta, and Vata. Each person corresponds, depending on the manifestation of various characteristics, to one of these three doshas.

Stress, unhealthy diet, lack of exercise - high blood pressure is a condition that can affect young people depending on their lifestyle.

What you consume is an essential component for your health and well-being. Often, factors like lack of time and stress become barriers on our path to a balanced diet or detoxification. Especially work is often used as an excuse to postpone the detox program to the weekend or vacation. In reality, it's just a lack of ideas or convenience that lead us to grab fast food during lunch breaks, so we at least consume something. After all, we need energy to be able to master our working day.

A good day already begins with a positive start in the morning. An Ayurveda morning routine keeps the doshas in balance and helps you start the day strong and harmonious.

Slowly we leave the summer behind. The previously dominant Pitta is gradually losing strength, and Vata, the dosha of movement and change, is gaining more influence in the environment and nature. Autumn is the season where everything prepares for the coming winter. The bioenergies slow down and gather their strength for regeneration during the cold months. To get through the winter well, it's advisable to start a detox regimen to rid the body of unnecessary toxins. Additionally, you need to keep your immune system fit. Because the strong temperature fluctuations, the cold and damp weather, and the shortening days thoroughly challenge the body's defense system.

In autumn, nature undergoes a transformation that is at least as intense as in spring. The Vata-Dosha is at work again, preparing the environment for the coming winter months. Everything retreats into stillness and regeneration, so that Kapha can prepare the life forces for the coming year. In these times of change, a detox cure is accordingly a recommended measure. The body is freed from old waste, the immune system is strengthened, and body, mind, and soul can gather new energies once again. In particular, nutrition plays an important role during this time. With the right recipes, the digestive fire Agni is strengthened. Our bioenergies can be brought back into balance and Ama can be transported away.
