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 60% 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.

INCREASES
Guna Help

Increases These Biocharacteristics (Gunas)

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

TASTES
Taste Help

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
Dosha Help

The Three Doshas / Body Types

According to the biocharacteristic theory of medicine, people tend to get sick, over and over again, due to habitual causes and imbalances that are unique to the person. Your body type summarizes this tendency, showing you the 'type' of conditions and imbalances that frequently challenge your health & wellness. Using body type, you can also identify remedies likely to improve your strength and resiliency. Your body type identifies physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses. The calculation of your body type is based on your medical history.

The 3 functional body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha). Catabolic individuals tend to break down body mass into energy. They are easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry. Metabolic individuals tend to burn or use energy. They tend to be rosy-cheeked, easily irritated, focused, driven, and easily inflamed. Anabolic individuals tend to store energy as body mass. If they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion. Anabolic people tend to be stable and grounded.

Can this be used in conjunction with triphala?
- Debra, Fitchburg, WI , 10-01-12 (Reply)
Yes - although we generally recommend triphala for Pitta Kapha individuals only...
Would it be the formula is inappropriate for an "extreme" Vata w/little Pita Kapha and need adjusting in their situation?
- Greg Patch, Surf city, NC , 10-16-12 (Reply)
Dear Greg, This formula is made for Vata - but of course we are always available to customize it for individual concerns. In that case order the 'Custom Herb Formula'. Thanks for asking.
Any recommended duration of time to take this tea? Many thanks!
- jin lian-hua, Los angeles, CA , 11-21-12 (Reply)
Generally we recommend three months on one month off for most herbs. Thanks for asking!
The new name makes it sound like a remedy for constipation (soften).
- Victoria, Istanbul, NY , 02-18-15 (Reply)
It is more directly for gas and bloating, but will secondarily help soften stools. It's a lovely formula!
- Heather Vaughan, CAy, RYT, Albuquerque, NM , 02-18-15 (Reply)
Is this safe to take while breastfeeding?
- Amy Detgen, Washington, DC , 02-11-16 (Reply)
Licorice is generally contraindicated during breastfeeding.
- Kimberly Kubicke, Asbury park, NJ , 02-15-16 (Reply)
Goes well with green tea and protein shakes. Seems to reduce indigestion.
