WHAT IS A DOSHA?
According to Ayurveda, each of us has a unique mix of three mind/body principles which creates our specific mental and physical characteristics. These three principles are called 'doshas'. Most of us have one or two doshas which are most lively in our nature, with the remaining one(s) less significant.

ABOUT THE KAPHA DOSHA
The kapha dosha is a combination of the prithvi (earth) and jala (water) elements. As the water element it is contained within the earthen structures of the tissues and skin, the dry earth is moistened by the reviving water element. It is slow, heavy, cool, dense, soft, greasy, unctuous, sticky, cloudy, liquid and sweet.

Kapha literally holds the body together. It is cohesive, gives shape and form, aids growth and development, lubricates and protects, helps smelling and tasting. It relates to phlegm in the body. It resides in the chest, throat, head, pancreas, stomach, lymph, fat, nose and tongue. Its primary site is the stomach.

Kapha accumulations cause excessive build up of mucus, phlegm, sluggishness, excess weight, lack of energy.

FROM "whatsyourdosha.com", A BIT MORE ABOUT KAPHA TYPES:

Kapha-type people tend to have sturdy, heavy frames, providing a good reserve of physical strength and stamina. This strength gives Kaphas a natural resistance to disease and a generally positive outlook about life. The Kapha dosha is slow, and Kapha types tend to be slow eaters with slow digestion. They also speak slowly. They are calm and affectionate but, when out of balance, can become stubborn and lazy. They learn slowly, with a methodical approach, but also retain information well with a good understanding of it.

Kapha dosha controls the moist tissues of the body, so a Kapha imbalance may show up as a cold, allergies, or asthma. This is worse in Kapha season, March through June. Cold and wet weather aggravates Kapha. They should not dwell in the past or resist change. They need lots of exercise and need to be careful not to overeat. Kaphas need stimulation to bring out their vitality. Kapha dosha teaches us steadiness and a sense of well-being.

Here is a bit about Pukka Herbal teas from their website:
"Our unique range of organic herbal remedies and award winning teas are based on the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda – ‘the art of living wisely.’ We set up Pukka Herbs to make the wonders of this wisdom easily accessible to everyone.

Pukka is a Hindi word meaning ‘authentic’, ‘genuine’ or more colloquially ‘top quality’. It comes from the Sanskrit ‘pakwa’ and this sentiment of offering the best quality organic Ayurvedic herbs and service is what we at Pukka Herbs are all about.

Pukka Herbs was founded in 2001 by Sebastian Pole,  an Ayurvedic practitioner, and Tim Westwell, formerly in business development for the IT industry. We started with a few thousand pounds and a mutual passion for promoting well-being and providing 100% organic Ayurvedic herbal remedies and teas.  

Sebastian trained as a herbalist both in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. With a degree in Hindi, he also gained clinical training experience in India, both in clinics and hospitals, working with indigenous Ayurvedic doctors. On his return to the UK, he set up a practice in Bath which he still maintains today. A committed conservationist, he started looking at ways to bring herbs to Britain to make teas and remedies of the quality he required as a practitioner.

Today we continue to work hard to bring you the best organic Ayurvedic herbal products whilst ensuring that we run an ethical business that respects the relationship between humans and the environment.

We are aware that as a responsible company and members of the whole global community we must be accountable for our actions.

Our herbs are ecologically grown and are from sustainable managed projects that are organically certified by the Soil Association.

We source our herbs directly from the farming co-operatives we have helped to set up in India and Sri Lanka ensuring the farmers are paid a fair wage (we currently pay 50-200% above market rates for raw materials). We work directly with over 500 families growing Ayurvedic herbs organically for us and plant over 1,000,000 plants and trees per year.

Our herbs can be traced back to the fields from where they were grown.

Manufacturing in the UK is under tight restrictions in accordance with UK medicines standards .

All our teas and remedies are carefully formulated by Sebastian who has drawn on his expertise in growing herbs, organic cultivation and professional training in herbal medicine and are blended according to Good Manufacturing Procedures and authentically tested to European quality standards.

We are Carbon Neutral and invest in renewable and sustainable energy projects as well as reforestation programmes. All aspects of the business carbon emissions from Field to Shelf are off-set by donations to Climate Care. Climate Care makes donations to energy saving projects. We maintain a policy to limit flying in materials and use shipping as much as possible.

We manage an internal recycling scheme to prevent wastage .

We are committed to using recycled paper and vegetable inks when possible.

We are ethically responsible and contributes to charities, such as Plantlife International, involved in protecting wild medicinal species.

We are purely vegetarian."
