Written By Lizzie Howard / Reviewed By Ray Spotts

Ayurveda has been around for thousands of years, and it involves using medicine in a method that cures the mind, body, and soul. Today more than ever, using medicinal methods like these helps you to avoid drugs that have chemicals and harmful side effects on your body.

By implementing Ayurveda into your life, you can reap many benefits, but how exactly? Here are some benefits of Ayurveda and the use of tea.

Boosts Immunity

Ayurveda tea has the ability to improve the function of your immune system because of the anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties it contains. The herbs in these tea leaves can boost the function of your immune cells, fight off infections and keep you healthy.

Even more, not only do the tea leaves fight off infections, but they also help to cure you quicker when you’re sick. Depending on the specific type of Ayurveda tea you consume, some of them are particularly high in flavonoids that can help to support your immune system function.

Reduces Stress

Whether it’s work, family issues, or something other, we all have some issues in our lives at some point. Ayurveda tea leaves have the ability to reduce the amount of stress your body feels and to help you relax in times of great stress. These teas give off a calming effect and can help you sleep better as well.

Additionally, Ayurveda tea leaves don’t contain any caffeine, reducing the harsh effects of caffeine on your body when you replace it with Ayurveda tea instead. That being said, you won’t have the jitters and you don’t have to limit your consumption to just one cup a day.

Improves Digestive System

Tea in general contains properties that have the ability to ease your digestive system into better health. Whether you have indigestion or other irritable digestive system issues, it’s always helpful to further benefit the health of your body. Ayurveda teas are antispasmodic, meaning that they can calm irritable bowel syndrome.

Ayurveda teas contain flowers and herbs that have a calming effect on your body and stomach. That being said, you can consume the tea leaves in any way you want. Whether that may be by powder, like chai powder, or by steeping tea bags, you can reap the benefits of tea leaves on your digestive tract.

Promotes Weight Loss

Aside from being a healthier alternative to drinking caffeine or coffee every morning, Ayurveda tea leaves can even further your health by increasing your success along your weight loss journey. It has the ability to boost your metabolism and increase the fat-burning that takes place in your body naturally.

Also, drinking tea can urge your body to remove the toxins in your digestive tract, ridding your body of unwanted and harmful elements. If you’re trying to lose weight and are specifically drinking Ayurveda tea for that purpose, then consider looking for certain flavors of tea, like lemongrass, basil, clove, and ginger.

Boosts Skin Health

Ayurveda teas contain elements in herbs and ingredients that have the ability to promote the purification of the blood in your body, which not only increases the blood circulation altogether but also improves the health of your skin. The herbs and ingredients in Ayurveda teas can remove the fats from tissues as well, making your skin look healthier and better.

Detoxifies

Lastly, Ayurveda tea has the ability to promote detoxification in your body. The antioxidants and other ingredients help to drain any unwanted toxins and harmful elements from your body, promoting your health overall. Lemongrass tea specifically can stimulate digestion, which can remove toxins from your digestive tract.

Not only does it detox your body, but Ayurveda tea prevents any build-up of unwanted materials or toxins in your system. Because of its anti-inflammatory features, this tea can reduce symptoms of diseases and cancers, like chronic inflammation, breast cancer, and liver cancer.

Conclusion

Given the wide range of benefits and the positive effect it can have on your life overall, consider trying Ayurveda and tea. There’s a range of different tea flavors that you can choose from, and you can have it hot or cold. There are also additives you can use as well, enhancing the flavor even more.
