Teasana Kadha Chai

Description

This unique blend of herbs draws on ancient traditions and natural ingredients to potentially offer comfort for those experiencing asthma symptoms. Let’s delve into the individual contributions of each element:

Green Tea: Known for its antioxidant content, green tea may help reduce inflammation in the airways, a common trigger for cold and allergy.

Ginger: This versatile root boasts anti-inflammatory properties that may help ease airway restriction and soothe coughs.

Turmeric: The active component in turmeric, curcumin, is a potent anti-inflammatory that may offer management support for asthma symptoms.

Lemongrass: This fragrant herb possesses potential anti-inflammatory and decongestant properties, aiding in easier breathing.

Cinnamon: Beyond its warming flavor, cinnamon may help reduce inflammation and relax airway muscles, potentially easing breathing difficulties.

Nutmeg: This aromatic spice may offer some relief from congestion and coughing, common asthma symptoms.

Rock Salt (Himalayan Pink Salt optional): A pinch of salt can enhance the overall taste of the tea and may have some potential to clear mucus.

Black Pepper: When combined with turmeric, black pepper enhances the bioavailability of curcumin, allowing your body to absorb its benefits more effectively.

Tulsi (Holy Basil): Revered in Ayurveda, tulsi is known for its adaptogenic properties, which may help the body adapt to stress and potentially reduce asthma flare-ups.

Clove: This aromatic bud may offer some relief from coughs and may possess anti-inflammatory properties.

Asafoetida: While strong in flavor, asafoetida is traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine for its potential respiratory benefits, including easing congestion.

Recipe:

Heat water: Heat water to around 175°F (80°C). Don’t let it reach a full boil, as it can scorch the delicate flavors.

Steep: Pour the hot water over the tea. Cover the teapot or mug and let it steep for 2-3 minutes, depending on your desired strength.

Strain (optional): Stain the tea into your mug using a strainer.

Sweetener (optional): If desired, add a touch of honey to enhance the flavor.

Enjoy: Relax and savor the calming aroma and delightful taste of your Kadha Chai.
