That afternoon cold drink habit is costing your body more than you realize.
Most of us do not think twice before reaching for a cold aerated drink on a hot afternoon. It is cold, it is sweet, and for a moment, it does the job. But what it does not do is nourish. That carbonated glass carries nothing but sugar, artificial color, and calories your body has no use for.
The drinks your grandparents chose on those scorching afternoons were entirely different. Sharbaths made from roots and herbs, freshly brewed teas, and traditional fruit concentrates. These were not just refreshing. They were purposeful. They cooled the body, supported digestion, sharpened the mind, and built immunity quietly over time.
The good news is that these traditional herbal drinks for health have never disappeared. They have simply been waiting to be rediscovered. India’s health beverages market reached USD 3.10 billion in 2025 and is growing steadily, a clear sign that people are returning to natural, purposeful drinks over processed alternatives.
Here are five herbal drinks available on Zipeit that genuinely earn a place in your daily life.
A time-tested Ayurvedic coolant that reduces body heat, purifies blood, and supports digestion.
If there is one drink that South Indian summers have always belonged to, it is Nannari Sharbath. Made from the roots of the Indian Sarsaparilla plant, this sharbath has been a staple of Ayurvedic wellness for over two thousand years, and its continued relevance is no coincidence.
The nannari root works on the body from the inside out. It draws out excess heat, purifies the blood, supports kidney and urinary tract health, and eases the kind of deep fatigue that summer and stress tend to leave behind. Unlike a cold drink that simply lowers your temperature for a moment, Nannari Sharbath addresses the root cause of body heat, and that distinction makes all the difference to your health.
What makes Nannari Sharbath particularly versatile is that it suits the whole family. A sugar-free variant is available on Zipeit for those managing diabetes or mindful of their sugar intake. It delivers the same cooling and cleansing benefits, just without the added sugar.

A vibrant concentrate packed with Vitamin C, natural iron, and some of the most potent antioxidants found in any fruit.
"Madhulai," the Tamil name for pomegranate, has been celebrated in Indian medicine long before it became a global superfood trend. The fruit is extraordinary on its own. When pressed into a sharbath concentrate, all of that natural goodness becomes even more concentrated and easier to enjoy every day.
A single serving of Madhulai Sharbath supplies natural iron, calcium, and vitamins B, C, and K together in one glass. The health benefits of madhulai sharbath are wide-ranging: stronger immunity, improved skin health through its antioxidant-rich profile, better blood iron levels, and a naturally low glycemic response that makes it gentler on blood sugar than most fruit drinks.
For women dealing with iron deficiency, for growing children who need nutrient support, or for anyone simply looking for a vibrant, refreshing summer drink that actually earns its place at the table, this sharbat delivers. Just mix the concentrate with cold water, and it is ready in seconds.

A traditional South Indian herbal juice that supports weight loss, cholesterol control, and digestive health.
Horse gram, or "kollu" in Tamil, has been a trusted staple in South Indian kitchens and Ayurvedic practice for centuries. It is one of the most protein-dense legumes found in nature, and as a juice, its benefits become even more bioavailable and easier to absorb.
Kollu juice for weight loss works in a way that the body actually responds to. It fires up the metabolism, keeps hunger in check naturally, and supports the body in managing food intake without leaving the body feeling drained or deprived. But the benefits do not stop at weight management. Kollu Juice actively supports healthy digestion, helps regulate cholesterol levels, manages blood sugar, and has long been used in traditional medicine to ease the symptoms of the common cold.
For anyone tired of processed juices that promise nutrition but deliver mostly sugar, Kollu Juice is one of the most honest swaps available. It is simple, purposeful, and rooted in a tradition that has never needed a marketing campaign to prove itself.

Made from Brahmi (Centella Asiatica), this is Ayurveda’s most respected daily tonic for memory, focus, and nervous system health.
Not every herbal drink targets the body. And then there are those that go a step further, working not just on the body but on the mind itself. Vallarai Sharbath is made from the Brahmi plant, scientifically known as Centella Asiatica, which has been used in Ayurvedic practice specifically to nourish the nervous system and sharpen cognitive function.
Vallarai sharbath for brain health works by supporting memory retention, improving concentration, reducing mental fatigue, and calming the kind of low-level anxiety that builds up during demanding days. It is equally valuable for students navigating exam pressure, working professionals managing high-output schedules, and elderly family members who want to keep their mental sharpness intact.
What makes this sharbath particularly appealing is how easy it is to maintain as a daily habit. The sweet, tangy taste is genuinely enjoyable, and the benefits accumulate quietly over consistent use, much like the best wellness habits do.

A daily cup of herbal tea is one of the most consistent and accessible ways to support immunity, digestion, and mental calm.
The four drinks above each shine in their own way. One cools the body, another supports the mind, one targets weight, and one replenishes iron. Herbal tea does not pick a lane. It suits every person, every season, and every day without exception.
All it needs is a few minutes and hot water. In return, it delivers immunity support, digestive calm, stress relief, and a quiet sense of being cared for that builds over weeks and months of consistent use. Ginger and tulsi blends work on the immune system. Blends with ashwagandha and lemon balm bring calm to the nervous system on days when everything feels like too much. Each cup does something, and the cumulative effect of that daily ritual is one of the most underrated forms of preventive wellness available.
Herbal tea is the most satisfying switch for anyone looking to replace soft drinks with healthy drinks in their daily routine. No sugar. No artificial additives. No empty calories. Just the steady, reliable goodness of roots, leaves, and herbs that have been doing this work for a very long time. It is also one of the most accessible immune-boosting beverages across every season of the year.
Zipeit’s Herbal Tea collection brings together a thoughtfully chosen range of teas from small, quality-focused brands that take their formulations seriously.

Zipeit brings these traditional ayurvedic beverages directly from small, quality-focused vendors to your doorstep.
Every drink on this list comes from vendors who have spent years perfecting traditional Ayurvedic formulations. Zipeit exists to bring these carefully crafted products directly to you, whether you are in Chennai, across India, or ordering from abroad.
1. What are the benefits of herbal drinks?
Quite a lot, depending on which one you choose. Some cool the body from within; others build immunity over time, ease digestion, or support the mind. What they all share is simple: they come from plants that Indian medicine has trusted for centuries, with nothing artificial added along the way.
2. What is Nannari Sharbath good for?
Cooling the body is why most people reach for it, but Nannari does quite a bit more than that. Nannari Sharbath not only cools the body but also clears the blood, supports kidney function, settles digestion, and alleviates the deep fatigue caused by heat and stress. There is also a sugar-free version on Zipeit that works just as well for those watching their sugar intake.
3. Is Kollu juice good for weight loss?
It genuinely does. Horse gram has been used in South Indian homes for weight management long before it became a wellness trend. Kollu Juice fires up the metabolism, keeps you fuller for longer, and does not leave the body feeling drained in the process. The fact that it also helps with cholesterol and blood sugar is a bonus most people do not expect.
4. Can diabetics drink herbal sherbet?
Yes, though it matters which one you pick. Zipeit stocks a sugar-free Nannari sharbath made specifically with diabetics in mind. It keeps every herbal benefit intact without adding sugar to the mix. That said, anyone managing diabetes should check with their doctor before bringing something new into their daily routine, herbal or otherwise.
5. Which herbal drink is best for digestion?
Kollu Juice is an excellent choice for promoting digestion. It wakes up the digestive enzymes, takes care of bloating, and helps the gut do its job more smoothly. Ginger-based herbal teas do similar work, particularly for indigestion after a heavy meal. Nannari Sharbath also plays a quiet supporting role when taken regularly.
6. Are herbal drinks safe for daily use?
For most people, yes. These are traditional formulations that Indian families have been drinking daily for generations without issue. Sharbath concentrates require only a small amount diluted in water per serving, making a bottle last a long time. If you are on long-term medication or managing a health condition, a quick word with your doctor before starting is always sensible.
7. How do I use herbal sharbath concentrate?
Just stir around 60 ml into a glass of cold water, and it is ready. Over ice is best on a hot day. If you're looking to add some variety, most sharbaths can be effectively combined with cold milk, a splash of soda water, or a squeeze of fresh lime. The benefits stay the same regardless of how you serve it.
Replacing one soft drink a day with a glass of Nannari Sharbath, a serving of Kollu Juice, or a warm cup of herbal tea is not a dramatic overhaul. It is one small, confident decision in favor of a body that feels genuinely nourished. These natural health drinks have endured for centuries in Indian households, not due to their trendiness, but because of their effectiveness. Zipeit makes it easier than ever to bring them back into your daily life.
