Transit
Transit
Transit is only a reflection of our good intestinal hygiene. Dravata, ‘fluidity’, is a synergy of herbs suitable for different types of constipation, in particular, excess and obstructions caused by vāta (air and ether); Āma which is produced from the stomach and the beginning of the duodenum (Āmāśaya). It is a heavy liquid that increases irritation on the tissues (dhātu) and obstructs the channels of exchange and nutritions. This causes indigestion with accumulation of toxins. Dravata decreases pitta and regulates it by activating vāta in its apāna form.

Ecology
- Our freshness envelope, despite resembling plastic, is made from cellulose therefore compostable.
- Our teabags and string are also compostable.
- Our tag is made from recyclable PEFC™ paper.
Note: we sell the majority of our infusions only in tea bags and not in bulk. The difference in density of the ingredients would make the heavier ones fall to the bottom of the container. Thus, the mixture would lose its homogeneity and the medicinal proportions would not be preserved.
Ayurvedic benefits
Based on the principles of Ayurvedic herbalism or “Dravya Guṇa“, Dravata is a synergy of plants that promotes transit. This preparation decreases Pitta and regulates Vāta in its Apāna form.
