What makes CCF tea a go-to Ayurveda remedy to improve digestion?
If you often struggle with bloating, acidity, or indigestion, there is a soothing solution hiding in your kitchen cabinet---CCF tea. Made from cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds, this ancient Ayurvedic concoction is more than just a soothing drink. Known for its powerful detoxifying and digestive benefits, this tea is a favourite among wellness enthusiasts, and even Bollywood diva Shilpa Shetty swears by it to keep her digestive system on track.
CCF is believed that this tea balances all three doshas, promoting better gut health and boosting metabolism.
In Ayurveda, health starts with balanced doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. 'CCF tea is a remedy that helps balance all three doshas, especially by strengthening your digestive fire or Agni,' says Ayurvedic expert Dimple Jangda. When your Agni is strong, your body absorbs nutrients better and eliminates toxins more efficiently.
CCF tea stimulates digestive enzymes and helps break down food more effectively. This means your stomach feels lighter, and you can avoid discomfort after meals.
One of the most common issues people face is bloating and gas, which can be uncomfortable. "The combination of cumin, coriander, and fennel in CCF tea helps reduce these symptoms by calming the digestive system and releasing trapped gas," suggests Jangda.
CCF tea acts as a gentle natural detoxifier. It supports the liver and kidneys by helping eliminate waste products from the body. This cleansing process helps you feel refreshed and can improve overall wellness.
A healthy metabolism is essential for energy and weight management. CCF tea helps boost metabolism, which can help burn calories and maintain energy levels throughout the day.
Many women experience discomfort during their menstrual cycle. 'CCF tea has anti-inflammatory properties that help relieve menstrual cramps and ease PMS symptoms, making those days a little more manageable," explains Jangda.
'For best results, drink CCF tea daily for at least 8 weeks. You can sip it after meals to ease digestion and prevent bloating, or start your day with it on an empty stomach to gently boost your system,' recommends Jangda. It is also great in the evening. The key is consistency. So, make it a regular part of your wellness routine to gain benefits.
CCF tea is generally safe for most people. However, some individuals may experience mild gastrointestinal discomfort initially. Those with allergies to any of the three spices should avoid them. 'Pregnant women should consult their healthcare provider before consuming CCF tea, as fennel may stimulate uterine contractions. Also, be cautious if you are taking medications like blood thinners or blood pressure medications, as interactions may occur,' says Jangda.
This tea is ideal to drink on an empty stomach for the best benefits.

Add Basil Seeds Into Your Diet To Keep Your Gut, Skin And Body In Check
Last Updated: Basil seeds have long been used in cooking and Ayurveda. These tiny black seeds are a game-changer for your body during summers. Sabja seeds, also known as basil seeds, have long been used in cooking and Ayurveda. Their benefits, however, aren't just limited to Indian traditions; basil plants also hold a significant place in Chinese medicine. They may look like sesame seeds, but these tiny black seeds are a powerhouse of health benefits. Especially in this heat-scorched summer, basil seeds can truly be a game-changer for your body. From naturally cooling your system to supporting digestion, sabja seeds have a lot to offer. What Do Basil Seeds Contain? Minerals: Basil seeds are rich in essential minerals like magnesium, iron, and calcium. Including them in your daily diet can help boost nutrient levels, especially for those following a vegan lifestyle. Fibre: They are high in fibre. Just 1 tablespoon of basil seeds offers about 7 grams. This promotes gut health, helps regulate blood sugar levels and maintains healthy cholesterol. Plant Compounds: These tiny seeds are loaded with flavonoids and polyphenols – powerful antioxidants that protect against cell damage. According to Healthline, these compounds also carry anti-inflammatory and potential anti-cancer properties. Omega-3 Fat: Basil seeds are a plant-based source of Omega-3 fatty acids. Just one tablespoon every day can fulfil your daily requirement of ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). Health Benefits Of Consuming Basil Seeds Natural cooler: Basil seeds act as a natural body coolant in harsh summers. As per the International Journal of Scientific Research and Reviews, these seeds can absorb and retain water, helping cool down the body from within. Add them to your summer drinks and feel the difference. Natural Detoxifier: Sabja seeds help flush out toxins from the body. A study published in the Journal of Food Science and Technology highlights that the fibre in basil seeds supports gut cleansing and detoxification. Weight Management: Much like chia seeds, sabja seeds support weight management. High fibre keeps you full longer, making it a smart addition to your weight-loss plan. Promotes Healthy Skin: Basil seeds are rich in antioxidants, which help protect skin from sun damage and reduce inflammation. How to Eat Basil Seeds? They have long been used in drinks across India and Southeast Asia. It's very easy to include them in your everyday meals. Soak a teaspoon of sabja seeds in water for 15 minutes until they swell up, and then mix them into lemonades or smoothies. Add them as toppings on your dessert for a sweet yet healthy bite. Use them as a dressing on salads. Mix in yoghurt. Add to hot cereals like oatmeal. Sprinkle on whole-grain pancakes or pasta dishes. First Published: June 15, 2025, 16:16 IST

Celebrity Nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar Shares 3 Tips To Follow Sattvic Diet Sustainably
Sattvic food, also called "Satvik Bhojan," is a vegetarian diet based on Ayurvedic principles, which promotes fresh, clean, and pure meals. It emphasises foods that support both physical and mental health and are easily digested. The Sattvic diet is popular among yoga practitioners because it is based on Ayurveda, which dates back more than 5,000 years to India. Sattvic diets usually include nutritious grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and seasonal, fresh fruits and vegetables. Meat, eggs, processed sugar, spicy foods, and fried foods are all avoided since they can irritate the gut health. Nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar has shared why Sattvic food is simple, sensible, and sustainable in her recent Instagram post. According to Rujuta Diwekar, Sattvic food is simple because it is home-made food which we have grown up eating, such as dal, chawal, and ghee for dinner, instead of soups and salads. Sattvic food is sensible that is fresh, not packaged, and not processed, according to Rujuta. For example, upma, poha, idli, dosa, paratha for breakfast, and not packaged cereals and oats. Last but not least, Rujuta added that Sattvic food is sustainable that is local, in season, comes with time-tested combinations, such as ragi in the monsoon, and not multi-grain breads. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rujuta Diwekar (@ The Sattvic diet is the most effective way to support mental, physical, and longevity health, per Ayurveda. Fresh, nutrient-dense foods, including fruits, vegetables, fresh fruit juices, sprouted whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and herbal teas, are all part of Sattvic diets. Although the Sattvic diet is rich in foods high in nutrients, it excludes several nutritious items. For instance, the diet promotes abstaining from meat, poultry, fish, and eggs, all of which are good sources of protein, good fats, and other micronutrients. Besides mindful eating habits, nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar also offers simple strategies for waking up feeling energised. In a previous Instagram video, Rujuta gave her advice on how to wake up feeling rejuvenated and prepared to face the day. Rujuta Diwekar began by stressing the value of eating wisely and early. She then highlighted how important it is to prepare evening snacks. Finally, Rujuta suggested setting up time on Sundays to organise your week's snacks.
