Traditional Tea Knowledge Meets Ayurveda Approach

Ayurveda, the science of life, has its origins in India and is seen as the most historical approach to healthy living. The word Ayurveda is put together from the Sanskrit words of AYUS (life) and VEDA (knowledge).

Ayurveda is based on the five elements of nature: earth, water, fire, air and space. These powers are manifested in human bodies by the three Doshas: Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

 

Teahouse Ronnefeldt and the European Academy for Ayurveda, the well-known Rosenberg-Institute, have initiated a joint venture with the aim to combine excellent tea quality and taste with the soothing effect of ayurvedic therapies.
