How Does This Ayurvedic Herb Supplement Improve Wellness?

CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW

formerly "Soften & Soothe: Digestive Comfort Tea"

Find relief from gas, bloating and constipation with this nourishing digestive tea. If your digestion has been left frail after years of digestive issues, long term stress, severe illness, or a bout with parasites, chances are you dream of feeling soothed, comforted, satisfied, and nourished by food. Digestive Comfort & Support Tea is designed to nurture your intestines, so that you can digest food with ease. You'll feel cradled and nourished by this comforting formula.

Digestion & Blood Flow


Did you know that digestion uses up to 30% of your daily metabolism? Most of the energy and fluids used for digestion are supplied through the blood. Thus, you need hearty blood to have good digestion. Stress, excess activity, dehydration, and a cold body temperature can all make the blood weak and the digestion more sensitive. Digestive Comfort Tea targets these root causes of poor digestion and is useful for light and average weight individuals with sensitive digestion. This formula is suitable for:


  • Heaviness, gas or bloating even after small portions and normal foods.
  • Stomach distress after cold drinks and raw food.
  • People who skip meals, are over-committed and eat on the go.
  • Restoring stomach strength from chronic poor digestion.


Dry Stomach Syndrome


Dehydration reduces the production of digestive juices by the stomach, liver and pancreas. Food that remains partially undigested begins to ferment and rot in the intestines, causing inflammation, degradation of tissue, and production of gas. Digestive Comfort and Support Tea directly counteracts dry stomach syndrome by stimulating blood flow to digestive organs and preventing loss of fluids from the kidneys. Here are some signs of a dry stomach.


  • If your mouth or skin is dry, chances are your stomach has a deficiency of digestive fluids and enzymes as well.
  • A small appetite could indicate insufficient acid production in the stomach.
  • Bloating, gas and burping signify food remains partially undigested.


Kidney Flushing and Chronic Dehydration


Rotting food in the gut makes the blood toxic. Since the kidneys filter the blood, toxicity ultimately has a diuretic effect. Cold temperatures, stress, and other factors can also have a diuretic effect leading to chronic dehydration from kidney flushing. People with kidney flushing lose fluids no matter how much water they drink. Digestive Comfort Tea directly prevents kidney flushing making stomach glands more juicy. The classic sign of 'kidney flushing' is a trip to the bathroom and peeing clear urine soon after drinking liquids.

Contains: Shatavari, Ashwagandha, Licorice Root Powder, Trikatu, Cardamom

Metabolic Nature of Digestive Comfort & Support Tea

See a complete list of all biocharacteristics.

METABOLIC NATURE

Metabolic Nature

Ayurveda assesses metabolic imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics (gunas). Aggravating them weakens your body and causes imbalance. By knowing which biocharacteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct metabolic imbalances before you get sick. Every biocharacteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold). You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite biocharacteristic.

TASTES

The 6 Tastes

Taste is used to sense the most basic properties and effects of food. Each taste has a specific medicinal effect on your body. Cravings for food with certain tastes indicate your body is craving specific medicinal results from food. Taste is experienced on the tongue and represents your body's reaction to foods. Sweet taste causes physical satisfaction and attraction whereas bitter taste causes discomfort and aversion. Kapha should use less sweet taste while Vata and Pitta would benefit from using more sweet taste. One of the first signs of illness is that your taste and appetite for food changes. The six tastes are sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent. Do you crave foods with any of the tastes below?

DOSHAS

The Three Doshas / Body Types

Ayurveda is a metabolic theory of medicine that explains individual health, tendencies, and disease patterns through the concept of doshas, which can be understood as your metabolic patterns and tendencies.

Each dosha reflects a distinct metabolic nature and describes strengths & weaknesses in bodily function, and how these affect energy levels, digestion, susceptibility to disease, and many other tendencies.

Your metabolic nature not only affects your physical characteristics, but also influences your mental thought patterns, confidence, and enthusiasm.

Ayurveda balances these metabolic strengths & weaknesses to support your body's vitality and prevent recurrent disease cycles. This support is a critical aid, especially in chronic or incurable disease conditions.

The 3 metabolic body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).

Through dosha, Ayurveda empowers people to identify metabolic imbalances early, break repetitive patterns of disease, and cultivate habits that support long-term vitality and well-being.

Ultimately, these metabolic patterns also provide a framework for understanding yourself, including body, mind, and spiritual tendencies.
