Ayurveda is extraordinarily diverse (in a positive sense). The power of this path lies in understanding the correct, type-appropriate application of ayurvedic philosophy.
So the following question arises for the beginner as well as for the experienced user:
How do I find my ayurveda with my individual characteristics and needs and/or how can I stay on the right path?
Ayurveda and yoga tea time
The tea room is a quiet place that can be used as a meeting place to seek or share experiences and to reveal goals and desires.
As an important part of the panchakarma cure, a quiet place of contemplation like an ayurveda tea hour can be the starting point for all people who are trying to lead a life according to ayurvedic principles in the future. The wishes experienced within the framework of ayurvedic philosophy become tangible here.
Ayurvedic teas:
There are teas for the different ayurveda types.
Tea plays an important role in ayurvedic nutrition. Depending on the type, different herbal and spice blends are served.
The ayurveda tea is drunk according to the recognized doshas, these are vata, pitta, kapha and various mixed doshas.
The possible herbal and spice variants are inexhaustible. They are tasty and extraordinarily versatile. They can even be adapted to individual tastes.
Thus the vata type needs a lot of warmth, e.g. by warming and sharp spices, as for example cinnamon, pepper, cloves or derived individual mixtures.
The pitta type, on the other hand, needs a cooling refreshing tea, e.g. cooling mint, raspberry leaves, lemon grass, cardamom or corresponding tea variations. The pitta type is the only dosha type allowed to drink the tea cooled down.
For the kapha type hot and spicy teas are ideal, e.g. chilli, pepper, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon, coriander or derived individual mixtures.
For all dosha mix types a combination of the different ayurveda spices is ideal.
Our tip for the morning at home:
Tea is a very healthy stimulant, but remember that we do not pour green tea too hot. 80°C is a good temperature, wash the pot out hot beforehand and then pour a good organic green tea (organic) into a pot or cup. You take about 1 level teaspoon per cup. Leave to infuse for 3 to 5 minutes before removing the leaves or decanting the tea. As morning tea you can add a few slices of fresh ginger, a few slices of lemon or lime. This gives the tea a nice infusion with the valuable ingredients of citrus fruit and fresh ginger.
This way you will start the day well.
If you prefer to drink your tea in the evening, please remember not to drink it too late, you should aim for a restful, uninterrupted sleep. Instead of the invigorating ginger you can now use a knife point of cinnamon powder or a small cinnamon stick and for the cold season, to match the cinnamon, replace the lemon with a slice of apple.
