In today’s fast-paced modern lifestyle, mornings often feel incomplete without tea or coffee. These beverages have become an integral part of the start of our day. But have you ever thought about the impact of consuming tea or coffee on an empty stomach early in the morning on your health?
According to some experts, drinking tea or coffee on an empty stomach in the morning not only increases stomach-related problems but also negatively affects sleep quality, the digestive system, and even mental health.
Tea and coffee contain high amounts of caffeine, which reportedly affects the body’s natural balance. Excessive consumption may create a false sense of energy, but in the long term it could lead to fatigue, anxiety, and insomnia.
According to some health experts, consuming more than 400 milligrams of caffeine in a day can give rise to digestive problems. Its side effects include gas, reduced sleep, increased heart rate, and excessive brain stimulation. All of these negatively impact our lifestyle and mental peace.
Ayurveda, a medical system that is thousands of years old, describes many herbs that help improve health. These herbs not only provide energy but also strengthen the body’s immunity.
Following this Ayurvedic knowledge, Patanjali has developed Divya Herbal Drink.
According to Patanjali, this herbal beverage is a blend of 28 special herbs, including small cardamom, black cardamom, cinnamon, mace, black pepper, dry ginger, red sandalwood, mulethi (licorice), tulsi, arjuna, rose, and long pepper.
To validate the benefits of Divya Herbal Drink, extensive scientific studies were conducted. Patanjali said, a chemical analysis was carried out to identify the quantity of active components and anti-inflammatory compounds. After this, it was tested on the zebrafish model, which is a recognised model in biomedical research.
In subsequent studies, bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was induced in zebrafish, which led to inflammation and fever-like symptoms in their bodies.
This is similar to internal infection in humans, where cough, cold, and fever occur — indicating that the immune system is fighting bacteria. After LPS induction, an increase in body temperature was observed in these fish.
They were then administered different doses of Divya Herbal Drink, following which a reduction in inflammatory symptoms and improvement in body temperature were observed, claimed Patanjali.
It further stated that this confirms that the use of Divya Herbal Drink can help control the root cause of inflammation and related symptoms.
Additionally, when different groups were given the herbal drink for 7 days, 10 days, and 15 days, improvement in the immune system of these fish was also observed.
Due to LPS-induced fever, deformities had appeared in the fins of the fish, which were also reduced in a dose-dependent manner by the herbal drink.
Research conducted on various gene markers revealed that the herbal drink also regulated cytokines responsible for inflammation and fever. It also reduced elevated levels of hs-CRP (C-reactive protein), which increase due to inflammation.
All these studies reportedly concluded that Divya Herbal Drink possesses natural anti-inflammatory properties that help control the causes of inflammation and fever in the body.
Patanjali said that long-term use of the herbal drink enhances immunity. “Unlike caffeine, it balances stress and brain activity, keeping the mind calm and stable, strengthens the digestive system, and helps relieve stomach-related problems. Being made from natural herbs, it keeps the body healthy and provides energy.”
“While tea and coffee provide temporary energy through the effects of caffeine, herbal drinks offer long-term health benefits. Regular consumption improves not only physical but also mental health,” it said.
In today’s fast-moving life, where everyone is trying to move ahead quickly, it is important to choose the right options for our health. Replacing unhealthy beverages like tea and coffee with herbal drinks inspired by Ayurvedic knowledge can be a better and healthier decision.
Divya Herbal Drink not only boosts the body’s immunity but also encourages a balanced and healthy lifestyle. For a healthy life, include herbal drinks in your daily routine and begin a new, healthier way of living.
