Manage summer heat

Y’all, it is hot! Must be pitta season. As the days grow hotter and the sun brighter, it is important to remain cool so we don’t boil over. Pitta elements are fire and water. When pitta is out of balanced and increased in the body, on may feel over heated, be prone to anger, or tend toward heartburn issues. Balanced pitta is expressed as intelligence, transformation, and digestion. During these hot summer months, it is important to remain cool so we can enjoy, rather than loathe, these beautiful summer days.
There are many tools we have in our belt that can help maintain a healthy balance of pitta during these hot days. Here are a few to try:
  1. Keep the melons coming! We all know that watermelon, cucumbers, and honeydo are tasty treats and all cool you down on hot summer days. But do not forget that really they are also nourishing your cells on a deep level. The juice, natural sugars, and watery quality of melons hydrate your whole body to keep things cool.
  2. Try a cup of the herb Anantamula. It is excellent. As it directly nourishes and purifies the rasa dhatu, or blood, it releases heat and sooths hot skin conditions. Anantamula is easy to drink and has a sense of sweetness. Cooling anger and irritability are a plus of this root.
  3. Lastly, try the pranayama Sheetali. This cooling breath can be done anywhere and provides not only a deep sense of relaxation, but a freshness to the mind and body. Check out my video in instruction on how to do Sheetali.
