🧊Cool From the Inside Out: Ayurvedic Wisdom for Summer ☀️
According to Ayurvedic principles, during summer season, especially with the current heat wave we are experiencing across several US States, Pitta dosha (heat, intensity, fire) tends to rise.
When Pitta is high, you might feel:
🔥 Irritable easily
🔥 Prone to skin rashes, acid reflux, or increased inflammation
🔥 Easily fatigued or suffer from headaches
In addition to adequate water, include more cooling foods in your diet to pacify the high pitta:
🍉 Watermelon – deeply hydrating and naturally sweet
🥒 Cucumber – soothing, cooling, and great for skin
🥥 Coconut water – replenishes electrolytes
🌿 Mint – refreshing, aids digestion
🥭 Ripe mango – sweet and cooling in moderate amounts
🥬 Leafy greens – detoxifying and light
🌾 Barley – light grain that reduces internal heat
🥛Yogurt -cooling and probiotic rich
🍈Lime (not lemon) – cooling and balancing for Pitta
🚫 Avoid excess: spicy foods, alcohol, caffeine, red meat, and fried foods, which increase pitta.
