SPICE GUIDE
According to Ayurvedic philosophy, the spices in chai are considered "sattvic", a category in Ayurveda attributed with calming, vitalizing and mentally clarifying qualities. Sattvic qualities were originally sought by yogis and spiritual aspirants wishing to live a contemplative life, but many of the sattvic attributes are perfect antidotes to the stresses of modern life.
Cinnamon
A tree bark, cinnamon is thought to open circulation and breathing, increase awareness, reduce fatigue and to be an aphrodisiac.
Black Pepper
This spice is widely used to support circulation and metabolism, counter coldness, and rejuvenate the nerves. Attila the Hun demanded this valuable spice as a ransom during the siege of Rome in AD 408.
Nutmeg
Used by ancient Arab physicians to treat kidney and lymph complaints, nutmeg has also been used for centuries to ease sciatic pain and promote the digestion of heavy foods.
Clove
This spice has long been favored in traditional herbal dental remedies for its pain-relieving and antiseptic attributes. Like pepper and ginger, clove is used to increase the potency of herbal blends.
Cardamom
A popular spice in both the Indian and Chinese herbal pharmacopoeias, cardamom has properties said to benefit the lungs, kidneys, and heart. It is also used as a mood elevator.
Star Anise
Traditional Asian herbalism systems credit star anise with a variety of properties. It's used frequently as a cough remedy, to freshen the breath, and even to soothe hernias.
Ginger
Long valued as an excellent stimulant for both the circulatory system and the immune system, ginger has been used to treat such disparate conditions as impotence and motion sickness.
Fennel
As an important medicinal plant in the royal herb gardens of medieval France and Germany, fennel is still widely used to treat kidney and ocular complaints, as well as laryngitis.
