Rooted in the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, the holistic healing system originating from India over 6000 years ago, this Pitta herbal tea embodies the perfect balance of nature and tradition. Ayurveda—meaning “knowledge of life” (Ayur = life, Veda = knowledge)—is based on a profound understanding of the body’s energies and their influence on health, first preserved through oral traditions and later recorded in sacred texts known as the Vedas.

According to Ayurvedic philosophy, the physical body and mind are governed by three vital energies called doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. These doshas exist in different proportions in every individual, determining their unique constitution (prakriti) and overall well-being. Health is achieved through maintaining the balance of these doshas, while illness arises when they become imbalanced (vikriti).

Pitta Dosha—the focus of this blend—is composed of the elements fire (tejas) and water (jala). It governs transformation and metabolism, encompassing both physical digestion in the stomach and mental-emotional processing. Pitta embodies qualities such as heat, sharpness, lightness, fluidity, and clarity.

Primarily seated in the small intestine, Pitta is responsible for the body’s digestive “fire” (agni) and mental acuity. The five sub-doshas of Pitta—Pacaka, Ranjaka, Sadhaka, Alochaka, and Bhrajaka—manage various aspects of digestion, metabolism, cognition, and vision.

This carefully crafted Pitta tea combines traditional Ayurvedic herbs selected for their cooling, soothing, and balancing effects on Pitta energy:

• Cinnamon: Adds gentle warmth and supports digestion.
• Cardamom: Known for its calming properties and digestive aid.
• Licorice: Soothes the digestive tract and balances inflammation.
• Coriander and Fennel: Aid digestion while cooling excess heat.
• Ginger: Stimulates digestion while harmonizing Pitta’s fiery nature.
• Rose Petals: Offer a cooling, calming aroma and effect to ease emotional intensity.
• Each ingredient is sourced from organic agriculture, ensuring purity and sustainability.

Maintaining balance and health through Ayurveda, Ayurveda teaches that imbalances in the doshas arise from three primary causes:

• Prajna-Aparadha (Intellectual Error): Repeating actions or behaviors knowingly detrimental due to material desires or impulses.
• Kala-Parinama (Natural Cycles): Fluctuations of dosha balance across daily rhythms, seasons, and life stages.
• Asatmyendriyartha-Samyoga (Improper Sense Use): Excessive or insufficient use of the senses leading to disharmony.

By understanding and addressing these factors, one can restore doshic balance and promote health.

This Pitta herbal tea is ideal for individuals seeking to calm excess heat, support digestion, and maintain emotional clarity. It is a mindful, natural approach to harmonizing body and mind, helping you navigate daily stresses while nurturing inner balance.
