Balance Your Energy with DelighTeas

Introduction

In Ayurveda, understanding your dosha—your unique mind-body constitution—is key to living in harmony with your body, energy, and environment. The three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—each carry a blend of elemental energies that influence your mood, digestion, immunity, and overall vitality. And these doshas are each a combination of 2 of the 5 universal elements of Earth, Air, Ether, Fire & Water.

Each person is born with an original constitution that is never changing, and also is subject to the cyclical and seasonal impacts of the elements.

All this means is that the better you know yourself and how certain seasons, cycles, and environmental factors influence you, the better you can balance and more easily harmonize yourself.

Whether you’re feeling scattered, fiery, sluggish—or simply seeking better balance—Ayurveda teaches us that food, herbs, and lifestyle shifts can bring us back into alignment. And that’s where our teas and this helpful dosha guide come in.
