Ayurvedic teas

Tea has long been used for all manner of purposes, from medicinal to ceremonial, and for the health of both the body and mind. Eastern cultures are particularly fond of tea, and Ayurveda specifically uses tea to help balance the three doshas: Pitta, Vata and Kapha. Just as we might choose a warming, nourishing cup of milky chai in the Winter, and a cooling cup of mint tea in the Summer, Ayurveda recommends using different teas according to how the body feels day-to-day and depending upon whether we require stimulation, relaxation or rejuvenation.
