A delightful substitute
Can you
envisage life sans the long sessions of animated conversation with
friends over a hot cuppa tea? A cup of Garam chai not only stimulated
your senses, but enlivens the surroundings too.
But, there is a flip side to it. You tend to experience a growing
feeling of insecurity as you swig your hot drink that this nothing but a
sweet poison.
Imagine a situation where you may have to deprive yourself of the
indispensable “poison” that works like a tonic especially when you are
buried in piles of pending files.
No need to worry for help is at hand now. Anmol, manufacturers of
organic fertilizers and distributors of Ayurvedic medicines, has come
out with a unique alternative, Anmol SweTea.
Sans sugar, chemicals
“The new find is a diabetic patient’s delight. It is a substitute for
tea sans sugar and other chemicals and also helps reduce diabetes
concurrently” says K.S.S.Kumar, Manager of Anmol.
The derivatives used to prepare saccharine and aspartame, substitutes
for sugar, have inorganic chemicals that make us vulnerable to diseases
by bringing down the immunity of the body.
Kumar says his product is palatable as its taste is very close to
tea. Besides, it also helps the beta cells to get stimulated in pancreas
for generation of insulin. This in turn, helps diabetic patients reduce
their ailment.
Anti-oxidant
The zingiber officinalis (sonthi) and elattaria cardamom (elaichi)
present in the SweTea helps enhance its taste and flavour and it also
has anti-oxidant properties. Kumar says diabetics must have the drink at
least twice or thrice a day as it works best when taken without milk.
Persons using medication for various ailments should undergo regular
check up while using SweTea as it could potentiate the medication
necessitating adjustment of the dosage.
Earlier, the company had come up with two other products, a nutrient
rich herbal bio-fertilizer that could also be used in Therapeutic
Horticulture for improving the texture of the soil.
