Kashayam Herbal Teas

Kashayam is one of the panchakalpanas (5 methods of herbal preparation) of Ayurveda. Kashyams are a widely used form of herbal preparation and do not refer to any one type of Ayurvedic formula. It is a generic term for a certain type of herbal tea decoction.

Kashayam refers to a water decoction or water extract of a single herb or group of herbs. Herbal decoctions support many types of acute and chronic illnesses.

Kashayams are an ancient form of preparing herbal remedies and are prepared with fresh plant material. Arya Vaidya Sala's Kashayams are available in liquid form, but many are also available as tablets known as Kwathams.

Spring is Allergy Season

Ayurveda views allergies as a sign of an imbalance in the body. According to Ayurveda, allergies are caused by the accumulation of "ama" or toxins, in the body. When the body is unable to eliminate ama, it builds up in the tissues and cause inflammation, which triggers allergic reactions.

Supporting Hemorrhoids with Ayurveda

by Julie Wardwell March 08, 2023

Ayurveda recognizes a similar condition called arsha. According to Ayurveda, the root cause is improper eating and lifestyle habits. The tri-dosha energies of vata, pitta, kapha become aggravated which causes the vitiation of both vata and pitta dosha. The vitiated pitta dosha accumulates ama within the digestive system and vata dosha then obstructs the digestive channel.
