Saumya Herbal Tea
Saumya Herbal Tea
This tea is a boon for the heart, rheumatic diseases (of joints and spine), and cancer patients. It also acts as a preventive if consumed regularly (as a replacement for your regular, black, CTC, or even green tea). It is a mixture of a few herbs and spices known for centuries immemorable for both heart and rheumatism, besides having numerous other benefits. We present the formulation of this herbal tea in the Some Diseases-àCardiovascular section of the website. Thus, it can be made by anyone at his home. However, since many people may not find it convenient to collect these herbs from the market, and to grind them before mixing, to help them out, we have done this job for them. Moreover, we have procured all these ingredients from certified organic sources, which may be difficult for the commoner to find, particularly in small quantities. Let us look at the medicinal benefits of all herbal tea ingredients individually
Arjuna is a natural, rich antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capable of fighting the body’s free radicals, which are responsible for causing severe ailments like cancer, heart disease, gout, arthritis, osteoporosis, other diseases of the joints and spine, and pains caused by these diseases. It boosts immunity, reduces cholesterol, stimulates blood circulation, and increases the oxygen supply to different organ cells, which naturally cures their diseases. It improves heart and liver health and balances sugar levels.
Ashwagandha is best known for its stress-lowering effects. Many cancer patients experience stress related to the diagnosis, treatment, and symptoms associated with cancer and its treatment. The fear of disease recurrence can also be a stressor. Ashwagandha lowers cortisol levels (a hormone produced by adrenal glands in response to stress). It is beneficial in anxiety disorders, low stamina, infertility, and even cancer. Ashwagandha reduces inflammation and is thus very helpful in Arthritis and related diseases of joints /bones. It lowers blood sugar levels in both people with and without diabetes and for obese people. Ashwagandha lowers body fat percentage and cholesterol levels. It also increases VO2 max levels. These levels measure cardiorespiratory endurance, i.e., how well the heart and lungs deliver oxygen to muscles during physical activity. Thus, higher VO2 max levels mean a healthy heart performing well under those circumstances.
Basil (Tulsi), a sacred herb, contains vitamins A, B6, C, E, and K and minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, Sodium, Phosphorus, Zinc, and Manganese. It has a substantial quantity of protein and fiber, vital for good health. Tulsi leaves are a natural way to treat and prevent many diseases. It boosts immunity and beats stress, protects against infection, improves digestion by improving liver health, and has anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral properties. It accelerates the rate of metabolism and reduces uric acid levels. It also has anti-cancer properties. Tulsi profoundly affects the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular diseases by lowering blood lipid content, suppressing ischemia and stroke, and reducing hypertension due to its higher antioxidant properties. It is equally helpful in treating Gout and Arthritis.
Mulethi (licorice) has been conventionally used in Ayurveda to treat respiratory and digestive disorders. Mulethi reduces stress and depression, controls cholesterol, boosts immunity, maintains the liver’s health, helps manage weight, and cures many skin disorders, such as sore throat and cough. It controls hormones released by Adrenal glands during anxiety, stress, and depression. Mulethi protects the body from damage caused by free radicals, thus keeping a healthy liver. It has the potential to be used in liver and colon cancer. Mulethi stops the growth of cancer cells and has shown a significant reduction in tumour development. It has anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic properties and is thus valuable for all inflammatory diseases, including diseases of joints and bones, kidneys, etc.
Banafsha (Viola odorata) has calming effects on the nervous system, reducing tension and stress and mild to chronic depression. It flushes out toxins from the blood, the liver, the kidney, and the lungs, thus keeping them clean and healthy. Banafsha is rich in vitamins A and C, is anti-cancer, cleans toxins, and is a natural aspirin. Apart from treating respiratory ailments, Banafsha also treats rheumatism, purifies blood, reduces blood pressure, and controls cholesterol due to antidyslipidemic effects by inhibiting the synthesis and absorption of lipids.
Sonth (Dry Ginger) has antioxidant, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Sonth is rich in bioactive compounds like gingerol and shogaol (Phenols). It may deactivate the free radicals (harmful molecules present at the body level) and protect them from various damages. This bioactive compound controls lipids, having a similar effect on cholesterol levels as the modern drugs prescribed to reduce cholesterol because it helps lower total cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Sonth also cures chest pain and reduces joint swelling, stiffness, and discomfort due to arthritis. It also helps improve digestion and manages blood pressure and blood sugar levels
Dalchini (Cinnamon) is an antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal. It is loaded with antioxidants, reduces inflammation, and manages Type 2 diabetes. Regular consumption of Dalchini reduces cholesterol and triglyceride levels and lowers blood pressure. It contains a compound called Cinnamate that may decrease the enzyme activity that makes cholesterol. Dalchini helps to reduce bad cholesterol, which reduces the risk of heart disease.
Inflammation is a natural response of the body to injury or infection. Still, when it becomes chronic, inflammation can lead to a host of health problems, including arthritis, heart disease, and cancer. Dalchini contains compounds that have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce inflammation in the body. Dalchini includes cinnamaldehyde, which stimulates collagen production, a protein essential for tissue regeneration. It helps to reduce the swelling and prevent blood platelets from clumping together. Dalchini is helpful in acute and chronic pain conditions such as arthritis, gout, etc. Dalchini also enhances blood circulation and pushes circulation to the joints where blood circulation is disturbed. It also acts as a protective against cancer and combats acne.
Clove helps considerably reduce total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, and VLDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol. Cloves are full of antioxidants, including eugenol. Antioxidants help the body fight free radicals, which damage cells. By removing free radicals from the system, the antioxidants found in cloves can help lower the risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. Cloves may also help the liver to work better. Eugenol found in cloves can also help reduce signs of liver cirrhosis and fatty liver disease. It also prevents tooth decay.
Cardamon contains antioxidant and antimicrobial agents that help with some aspects of metabolic syndrome (MS), a condition that can lead to heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. MS includes obesity, high blood sugar, hypertension, high triglycerides, high cholesterol, and a low level of good cholesterol. Cardamon protects against atherosclerosis and heart attacks.
Black pepper’s regular consumption reduces cholesterol levels due to the presence of the compound Piperine, which can also enhance the digestion and absorption capacity of the body. Black pepper fights off inflammation effectively, and we know that inflammation is a critical underlying factor for many chronic or long-term conditions such as cancer, heart conditions, diabetes, asthma, etc. Inflammation may promote the growth of plaques, loosen plaque in the arteries, and trigger blood clots — the primary cause of heart attacks and strokes. Black pepper helps treat gout and spinal and joint pain. It detoxifies the body and prevents cancer. Treats depression and improves blood glucose metabolism.
Note
- We need to boil herbal tea perfectly. Pour one teaspoon per cup of herbal tea into the water when it starts boiling, and let it simmer for 4-5 minutes to make it useful as a medicine. To make one cup of tea, you may have to take more than one cup of water because boiling for 4-5 minutes after it reaches boiling point will lead to evaporation of some water. Do not add milk to it which may reduce its beneficial properties. If you want to sweeten it, add Raw honey for 3-4 minutes after pouring it into the cup, or add a few dried organic stevia leaves while boiling it.
- Herbal tea can also prevent heart disease, joint disease, and cancer. To use its preventive benefits, it should be replaced with black or green tea at least twice daily from 35 years of age.
