Doshas in Ayurveda

From the Ayurvedic viewpoint, the mind naturally functions in a calm and clear manner. Aggravated Vata can disturb this calmness. Apart from lifestyle, times of day or diet, the seasons also play an important role in balancing the doshas: the energetic, enthusiastic, clear and alert Vata dosha reacts sensitively to certain factors such as cold, windy weather.

This can result in nervousness, low resilience, sorrows, problems falling asleep and irregular appetite.

In addition to regular relaxation, sufficient sleep and warm, nutritious meals, Ayurveda recommends taking food supplements suited to the needs of the body. This special herbal blend is said to bring an aggravated Vata back into balance.

This natural formula is made from time-tested Ayurvedic herbs and ingredients such as Ashwagandha, Jatamansi, Mulethi, Giloy, Kulangan, Giloy Satva, Shankhpushpi, Brahmi and more that are famous in Ayurveda for their calming, supporting and balancing effects. The most precious ingredient is crushed pearls.

Start the day full of zest! Instead of experiencing high spirits and zest for life, many people find it difficult to get going especially in the winter months. You feel tired, exhausted and lacking in drive – and simply put it down to being a "morning grouch". According to Ayurveda, these are typical signs of excess Kapha.

With more than 20 specific ingredients, Kapha-Balance food supplement supports the restoration of inner balance. It also reduces ama (in Ayurvedic teaching a type of metabolic waste product, see Note). Contains valuable herbs and spices such as winter cherry, basil, nutmeg, amla and bela fruit, ginger and different exotic types of pepper. For a good attitude to life, every day 

The tart, bitter tasting herbs in this valuable food supplement are recommended in Ayurveda to be taken for one month at each change of season.

What is ama?
Ama is a term commonly used in Ayurvedic texts. The literal translation of ama is "undigested". According to the Ayurvedic texts, ama occurs when the nutrition we take in is not properly digested because of poor nutritional habits or weak Agni (digestive fire). Ayurvedic teaching describes ama as a type of waste product in the body that can affect all possible metabolic processes. The term ama, which we have translated into English as "metabolic waste product", does not have an equivalent in Western science. Ayurveda places great emphasis on a type-specific diet, as fresh as possible, since according to Ayurvedic teaching this helps prevent the formation of ama. 

Our food supplements are prepared according to original, millennia-old Ayurvedic recipes from Ayurvedic writings, and have been used successfully since time immemorial.
