The best of 3 worlds

QIDOSHA aims to combine the best of Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and Western herbal medicine. This is reflected in our logo, which combines yin and yang, the lotus blossom, and a herbal branch. Our name also represents the connection between these z.TTeachings handed down over millennia: Qi is the life energy that flows through the meridians in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and Dosha comes from Ayurveda – doshas are the three basic constitutions, the bioenergies "Vata," "Pitta," and "Kapha," in Ayurveda. Each of these teachings holds amazing potential in its own right; what would be possible if one combined the best of these teachings, depending on the problem at hand?

We are convinced that this potential has not yet been fully exploited, as there is little interplay between the three different medical systems and naturopathic treatments. Some conventional medical practitioners even still have a "ban on thinking" about naturopathic treatments. We at QIDOSHA want to contribute to changing this!

We help make your everyday life a little better

We don't primarily see ourselves as an online shop for nutritional supplements; instead, we want to pique your curiosity about the exciting insights that TCM, Ayurveda, and herbal medicine have to offer. To this end, we provide you with a wealth of background information, studies, and specific recommendations for specific illnesses derived from these teachings. Our goal is for you to benefit as much as possible from these insights by successfully integrating them into your everyday life. And whenever possible, we want to encourage you to cook fresh foods with plenty of recipes and background information on individual herbs and spices—because, as the ancient physician and philosopher Hippocrates once said, "Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food." And whenever you don't have the time, we want to help ensure your body still gets everything it needs with our nutritional supplements.

sustainability

While we use the manufacturing method for our drops and capsules, we also consciously chose to focus on purity, sustainability, and transparency in our product packaging! Therefore, it was particularly important to us not to choose packaging made entirely of plastic.

THE IDEA

Our vision was a sustainable solution: the best for the body and at the same time the best for the environment! Plastic containers are subject to many additives that must be used during production (v.a. Titanium oxide) is extremely unsuitable for recycling. For many products, a plastic container contains approximately one month's supply, and most people take not just one dietary supplement, but several different preparations.

We definitely didn't want the resulting mountains of plastic waste for our QIDOSHA products! Our goal is to do good not only for our bodies but also for the environment, and therefore consistently use fully recyclable glass packaging and refill bags made of kraft paper.Glass is more expensive to produce and, due to its weight, also to ship, but we still rely on you to support this approach!

Our refill bags also have a pleasant side effect: They fit easily into your mailbox, saving you the trip to the parcel shop if you're not at home when our products are delivered!

PHARMACIST'S JAR – JUST RIGHT FOR OUR QIDOSHA PRODUCTS

When you purchase a QIDOSHA product, you've likely consciously chosen a product that was produced without unnecessary additives. Apothecary glass therefore offers several advantages:

• Recycling: Glass itself is very easy to recycle and can be reused many times… and again… and again…!
• Taste: Glass does not release any substances into the contents (microplastics issue!) and is therefore 100% tasteless.
• UV protection: The brown apothecary glass also provides ideal protection for the capsules inside from harmful UV rays. Special, high-quality ingredients such as vitamins B12 and Q10 are particularly light-sensitive and require brown glass packaging.
