Ayurveda & Adaptogens
Ayurveda and adaptogens in our Amma Bars
Ayurveda means knowledge of life. It is an ancient Indian science of health that sees your body as a whole that always looks for balance. When there is stress, overload or fatigue, that balance can shift. With our Amma Bars we bring this wisdom together with ceremonial cacao so that your body receives gentle support.
What Ayurveda is about
Ayurveda looks at the complete picture. Your body, thoughts, emotions and environment belong together. Food, herbs, rhythm and rest are used to guide your system back to its natural state. Cacao fits beautifully into this approach because it helps you drop into your body and open your heart.
What adaptogens are
Adaptogens are plants and mushrooms that help your body deal with stress. They support you when you feel depleted and can also bring calm when your system feels restless. You can see them as helpers that keep searching for balance in your nervous system, your energy and your focus.
In our Amma Bars we combine these adaptogens with ceremonial cacao from India. This creates a bar that tastes good and also has a clear role in your ritual.
The main herbs in our Amma Bars
Ashwagandha for relaxation
Ashwagandha calms the nervous system and helps your body move into a state of rest. This root is helpful when you feel tense, stressed or in a period of recovery. You will find it in RELAX and HEAL.
Lion’s Mane for focus and clarity
Lion’s Mane is a mushroom that is known for supporting concentration and memory. The feeling is clear and steady rather than restless. It is a good companion when you study, work or navigate many impressions. You will find it in FOCUS and EMPOWER.
Reishi for immunity and deep rest
Reishi is often described as a mushroom that supports the immune system. The energy feels soft, deep and grounding. Reishi is a beautiful ally in times of recovery, menstruation and integration after intense work or ceremonies. You will find it in HEAL and in a gentle way in RELAX.
Cordyceps for gentle energy
Cordyceps supports stamina and breath. The feeling is a steady inner fire without peaks and without a crash later. This is a good choice for the morning and around movement or bodywork. Cordyceps is part of EMPOWER.
Brahmi for calm clarity
Brahmi is used in Ayurveda for clear thinking, memory and creativity. It feels like space in your mind while your body can stay relaxed. This plant is very suitable for meditation, breathwork and focused work. You will find it in FOCUS.
Turmeric for warmth and protection
Turmeric supports digestion, joints and immune system. The taste is earthy and warm and combines very well with cacao. It is a helpful spice in times of healing and rebuilding. Turmeric is a key ingredient in HEAL.
Saffron and cardamom for the heart
Saffron works on mood and heart energy. Cardamom makes the cacao round and soft and supports your belly. Together they open the door to more feeling, love and connection. You will find this combination in LOVE and partly in RELAX.
