Assam Tea (black Tea): Black tea is a variety of tea that is more oxidized than the green, oolong and white varieties. All four varieties are made from leaves of Camellia sinensis. Black tea is generally stronger in flavor and contains more caffeine than the less oxidized teas.

Cardamom: A household spice that is commonly used to support digestion without increasing Heat. It has expectorant and diaphoretic actions. The mucus forming properties of milk are neutralized when cardamom is added to it.

Cinnamon: This warming spice is traditionally used in cold formulas as an expectorant and diaphoretic. Due to its warming property, cinnamon is known to promotes digestion.

Cloves: An energizing herb, cloves are an effective stimulant and aromatic for the lungs and stomach. Cloves are used extensively in Ayurvedic herbology.

Ginger: In Ayurvedic and Chinese herbology, Ginger is known to have heating, cleansing, toning and stimulating properties. Ginger promotes digestion, relieves abdominal discomfort, dispels chills and it is also useful for relieving respiratory complaints due to phlegm and arthritic conditions due to coldness.

Tulsi (Holy Basil): Coconut, says vaidya Mishra, Director of Maharishi Ayurveda's Product Research and Development, is considered a divine plant in vedic tradition. Whenever you perform a sacred ceremony like a yagna, havan or puja, a coconut must grace the occasion.
