Baba's Blend — The Legacy of Digestive Balance
Passed down through generations, crafted to nurture digestion and gut harmony — the foundation of true vitality.
Baba’s Blend is where the story of r-veda® begins.
More than fifty years ago, the founder’s grandfather, affectionately known as Baba (Punjabi for grandfather), created this aromatic digestive herbal mix from nine carefully selected herbs and spices.
It was a daily ritual — a pinch of cumin, ginger, long pepper, cardamom, garlic, black seed, and other herbs and spices, carefully blended by hand to ignite the body’sAgni: the inner fire of digestion that Ayurveda recognises as the foundation of health.
r-veda® was founded to bring this family recipe back to life and to carry forward Baba’s vision of balance through modern science, transparent sourcing, and evidence-based Ayurvedic innovation.
“For Baba, good digestion was good life force. His kitchen was his apothecary, where food and medicine met."
Clinical research
Each herb contributes unique phytonutrients, together forming a balanced synergy of digestive support, warmth, and antioxidant protection.

Study identified that piperlongumine (from Indian Long Pepper, Piper longum) binds to and inhibits the TRPV2 protein, which is overexpressed in aggressive glioblastoma cells. In mouse models, treatment radically shrank tumors. This pre-clinical discovery highlights the potential of natural compounds from traditional botanicals to serve as lead structures for complex diseases.
