My name is Dr. Satish Gosain. I am a graduate in medicine M.B.B.S, D.N.B. (i) med from Delhi University from Maulana Azad Medical Collage. I had worked in different capacities in various hospitals in Delhi. Presently I am running Dr. Bharti Nursing Home in Hari Nagar New Delhi India since 1982.
I grew up in Delhi, India and have enjoyed different types of teas and tisanes my entire life till I joined ISKCON.
Tea Brewing At My Home
I used to keep a variety of loose leaf teas and herbals on hand because right from my college days I enjoyed different fruit blends, chai and flavoured decaffeinated teas. For myself, I liked to "mix-it-up" a bit each day and brew several different types of tea. I usually used to sip black tea in the morning and make green tea during the day. Then, I often brew a cup of herbal tea in the evening. And my wife Dr. Bharti Gosain was very fond of Black Tea.
By far, the most flavourful and satisfying cups of herbal tea are those that are properly brewed using quality loose teas. While tea bags are convenient, there is no comparison to the taste and aroma of loose teas.
My journey to Herbal Tea
Then I came to Krishna consciousness in 1985 where I was taught that Austerity (Tapah) is 3rd pillar of Dharma and it is necessary to safeguard it to progress in Krishna consciousness where it is required to avoid intoxicants of any kind.
We know many arguments against the use of intoxicants. It is not a very difficult thing to understand because anyone with a sane mind will accept that taking intoxicants is physically, mentally and spiritually detrimental. It destroys the principle of austerity because the reason people take to drugs is that they want to avoid their suffering in the material world - they do not want to face that austerity.
Drugs, alcohol, and tobacco, as well as any drink or food containing caffeine, cloud the mind, over-stimulate the senses, and make it impossible to follow the principles of bhakti-yoga. This realization led me to search for alternatives that would not only align with these values but also provide health benefits.
Harmful effects of Black Tea:
When indulged into excess it affects the heart, vasomotor center and motor nerves causes pallor and feeble pulse.
Strong tea affects nervous system causing tremulousness of the limbs, supra-orbital headache, nervousness, hallucinations and nightmare, disorder of the mental faculties, which amounts nearly to insanity. It has a degenerative effect on the nervous system analogue to what follows with the moderate dose of alcohol.
It affects stomach giving rise to nausea, vomiting and flatulent dyspepsia.
So what is the solution?
Then I realized that this delightful, revitalizing, refreshing herbal tea with delicious taste and exotic flavour is not only helpful to Krishna Conscious devotees but it is a superb alternative to black tea and its body rejuvenating effect and health benefits are excellent. It is the tea for all ages.
These do not contain Black/Green Tea and are free from Caffeine and Tannin. These are superb alternatives to the caffeine kick found in green and black teas. It contains absolutely no sugar, artificial colourings or preservatives.
Why I Built the Websites - www.indianherbalteas.com and also www.govindmadhavherbaltea.com
What has really captured my interest in recent years is the growing number of research studies that point to the impressive array of health benefits from tea consumption. And loose leaf teas have proven to have significantly more health benefits than bagged or bottled teas.
So a couple of years ago on the suggestion from a friend, I decided it was time to create a website about tea to share my knowledge and help people learn about tea.
Yet, I didn't know where to begin and had no website-building expertise. I only knew that I wanted to create an online herbal tea guide that would provide easy-to-find information on all aspects of loose leaf tea.
As the demand for natural, organic, and herbal products continues to grow, my herbal tea blends have gained popularity far beyond the spiritual community. Over time, I developed additional tea blends, each formulated to address specific health concerns.
Seven Herbal Teas/Herbal Infusions are available namely Govind Madhav Herbal Tea (20 herbs), Cough Tea (27 herbs), Tulsi Tea (16 herbs), Ginger Tea (14 herbs), Weight Loss Tea (24 herbs), Diabetic Tea (27 herbs) and Masala Tea (10 herbs).
