An Ayurvedic Perspective
0 Comments
 Where I live, summer is long, hot and humid and often has long periods of drought. It heats up in the middle of May and finally cools down at the end of September with most days in 90’s and even the 100’s. So summer here is definitely pitta season, as pitta is fire and water, and is hot, sharp, oily, liquid and intense. Everyone experiences summer in a different way. If you have a fiery constitution, you might dread the heat and humidity of summer and dream of spending time in a cooler climate. If you are someone who feels chilled all year round, you might relish the heat of summer. Either way, we all benefit from making adjustments to our diet and lifestyle along with the flow of the seasons.
Ayurveda says that like increases like and opposites balance which is why summer can increase those cranky feelings in a pitta person, and soothe the coldness in a vata person. Overall, the intense heat of summer drains the energy in everyone. |
