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.T. teachings handed down over millennia: Qi is the life energy that flows through the meridians in TCM, and Dosha comes from Ayurveda – doshas are the three basic constitutions, the bioenergies "Vata", "Pitta", and "Kapha", in Ayurveda. Each of these teachings has amazing potential for maintaining, supporting, and regaining health; what would be possible if the best of these teachings were combined to suit the specific problem? We are convinced that this potential has not yet been fully utilized, as there is little permeability between the three different medical systems and naturopathic methods – some conventional medicine practitioners even still have downright "bans on thinking" about naturopathic methods. We at QIDOSHA would like to contribute to changing this!
We help to make your everyday life 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 for body & environment
We made a conscious decision to focus on sustainability when it comes to our product packaging. It was particularly important to us not to choose packaging made entirely of plastic, which, due to the use of certain additives like titanium dioxide, is also completely unsuitable for recycling. For many products, a plastic container contains about a month's supply, and most people take multiple supplements, not just one. We definitely didn't want this image of 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 through the mailbox, saving you the trip to the parcel shop if you aren't home when our products are delivered!
