Feel alive, bright, and refreshed with every sip of Green Tea with Ginger & Basil. Its vibrant tastes refresh your palate, enliven your taste buds, and stimulate your blood flow. Altogether, these detoxicant herbs leave you feeling clean and clear. If you feel sleepy and sluggish, this peppy yet elegant blend will keep you on your toes, alert & inspired.

Wake Up Your Mind

Green tea energizes your mind, but without the jitters of coffee, so you feel present and aware. Basil's nervine qualities sharpen memory while they reduce anxiety. It's peppery taste warms up your mind and sharpens your will, while ginger lights a fire under you to jump to action.

Cardiac Stimulant

Basil, ginger, and hot water warm up your circulation. Ginger is a cardiac stimulant to get your heart rate up. Basil is a strong vasodilator opening up your vessels to encourage the smooth flow of blood. Each of these ingredients has blood thinning properties to improve your circulation. With these invigorating hot herbs you might even break a slight sweat.

Detoxicant Good for Weight Loss

The diuretic properties of basil and green tea remove excess water from your system reducing puffiness, edema, and a feeling of heaviness. Basil opens up your vessels & pores, cleansing your entire lymphatic system so your skin appears bright and glowing with a rosy hue. As this tea stimulates metabolism and your heart rate, it is helpful for weight loss. Pungent taste and a touch of bitter taste in these herbs directly aid fat metabolism.

Metabolic Nature of Metabolism Boosting Green Tea with Basil & Ginger

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.
