Ayurveda Warns: Is Your Winter Tea Habit Harming Your Health?
- •Ayurveda suggests that increased tea consumption in winter can disrupt the body's balance, particularly by increasing Kapha dosha.
- •Ingredients like caffeine, milk, and sugar in tea can weaken Agni (digestive fire), leading to issues like gas, acidity, and constipation.
- •Excessive tea intake may worsen cold, flu, and phlegm symptoms, with milk tea specifically increasing Kapha.
- •Tannins in tea can hinder iron absorption, potentially causing weakness and fatigue over time.
- •Ayurveda recommends alternatives like herbal teas (ginger, tulsi, cinnamon) or warm water to maintain internal warmth and digestive health.
Why It Matters: Excessive winter tea consumption, especially milk tea, can harm digestion and increase Kapha, according to Ayurveda.
