Herbal Teas That Support Your Panchakarma Journey

When people think about an Ayurveda retreat in Sri Lanka, they often imagine relaxing massages, herbal oils, yoga, and healthy meals. While these are all important parts of the experience, healing in Ayurveda is also supported by many small daily rituals.

One of these is drinking Ayurvedic herbal tea.

At Peacock Ayurveda Garden, we prepare fresh herbal teas throughout the day for our guests. Every three to four days, we change the tea, allowing you to enjoy the unique qualities of different Sri Lankan medicinal herbs. These teas are served between meals and are intended to gently support your Panchakarma therapy, digestion, detoxification, and overall well-being.

These days more and more hotels, guest houses and other places especially in Sri Lanka in some way or another include the terms Ayurveda, Ayurveda resort, Ayurveda Spa to their names or descriptions.

According to the Cambridge dictionary, Resort means a place where many people go for rest, sport, or another stated purpose such as a tourist resort, a holiday resort, a seaside/beach resort etc.

Therefore if you wish to go to a place for an Ayurvedic treatment you have to go to Ayurveda resort.

Another widely used term by many hotels is “Retreat”.

According to Cambridge dictionary, Retreat means a private and safe place. Usually retreat has more of a spiritual meaning. The meaning of spiritual retreats can be different for different religious or cultural communities but in general it means having a solitude or a community spiritual experience.

Talking about hotels or other holiday places Retreat is used more to describe the place where yoga or meditation is being practiced as a part of a daily routine.

So let’s get back to Ayurveda in Sri Lanka.   Continue reading →

In Medieval Europe cinnamon had a reputation as an aphrodisiac, a strengthening tonic to dispel fatigue, melancholy, winter lethargy, poor circulation, impotence and nervous problems and a remedy for coughs and sore throats.
