Melons are a great summer time snack. They help to release excess heat from our bodies. Their water content makes them refreshing and hydrating. Did you know that melons should not be combined with any other fruit or foods as they digest differently? I’m growing 4 different kinds of melons in my garden this year. I can’t wait until they are ripe!

My husband, Ben and I just dropped our son, Reuben at the airport. We’re taking a day do some R&R at the beach.

Nothing like taking a dip in a cool Catskill lake when it’s a hot day! I find that a swim or even a cool shower can keep me cooler for the whole day.(Especially when you wear your wet bathing suit in the heat!) What ways are you staying cool?

I just harvested Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) from my garden. This Tridoshic herb (balances all three dosha) is known in Ayurveda as Mishreya. Fennel is great improving digestion as well as treating indigestion. It increases Agni (digestive fire) and treats gas, bloating, cramps and nausea. It is a heating herb that doesn’t aggravate Pitta because its post-digestive effect is sweet and cooling. My husband’s family is originally from Sicily. My mother-in-law used to serve fennel at the end of a large holiday meal. Fennel is used all over the world for digestion.

The first of many summer bouquets from my garden. Flowers feed me as much as the food I grow. Ayurveda speaks about having to digest and assimilate all that our senses take in. Perhaps this is why the beauty that surrounds me feeds my soul. What feeds yours?

An article in the British Journal of Psychology review studies on routine and showed that, “Routine enhances feelings of safety, confidence, and well-being in many aspects of everyday life.” Ayurveda emphasizes a daily self-care routine called Dinacharya. This regime can be modified depending on your dosha and the season. Creating a regular rhythm to your day is soothing to your nervous system and balancing to your circadian cycle. Read more about routine in Ayurveda and Circadian Medicine on my website. Book a session to find a personalized routine that helps you feel healthier and more content.

It’s hot out. If you are a Pitta or have excess heat the traditional Ayurvedic texts give some great guidelines for beating the heat. Stay in the shade or even walk in moonlight. Cover your head when you are in direct sun. This time of year I love to walk in the shade of the rail trail.
