HERBAL COFFEE HEALTH BENEFITS


    HERBAL COFFEE HEALTH BENEFITS


   Caffeine addiction is a very common, and under-rated phenomenon. The long term effects of regular, heavy consumption of what is essentially recognized as a drug by the body can have many unwanted and unfortunate effects on the body's organs and adrenals.

  This is why I developed this recipe to help my friends and myself to wean ourselves off of coffee. Incorporating six organic grains and herbs, I used my knowledge of Ayurveda and the natural folk healing traditions of Old Europe. In the end, I ended up with a delicious coffee substitute that not only was close in taste to coffee, but also offered unique health benefits.

  Ayurvedic Roast is made with all organic ingredients, starting with fresh barley, chicory root, and rye. On top of these healthy grains, we add our own unique herbal combination which has been used for centuries in the ancient tradition of Ayurveda: ashwagandha, shatavari, and brahmi.

Some information on each herb:

  • Ashwagandha:
  Known as the the "ginseng of India", this incredible herb promotes strength and stability in the physiology, and is also an anti-oxidant. It builds immunity and strength, and calms the mind and body.
  • Shatavari:
  Possesing many of the benefits of Ashwagandha, it counterbalances its somewhat heating quality with it cooling effect, and augments their mutually beneficial effects on the body.
  • Brahmi:
  Commonly used in Ayurveda to lessen mental strain and worry*, it also helps increase intelligence and clarity*. In combination with the other 2 herbs, it has a soothing effect on the mind, while maintaining alertness.
  The unique synergy of these three treasured organic herbs creates a soothing, uplifting, and strenthening effect on the mind, body, and spirit. *
