INRODUCTION  According to Ayurveda, the year is governed by the direction of the movement of the sun and is divided into two periods (solstice) that is Uttarayana (northern solstice) and Dakshinayana (southern solstice).  Ayurvedic ritucharaya is based on Dosha and Panchmahabhuta theory.

 Summer season brings it with the host of symptoms such as excessive body heat, sweating, dehydration, skin rashes, sunburns, acne, diarrhoea, lethargy etc.  Summer is hot, bright and a season of Pitta. Thus, it is recommended to maintain the balance and not allowing the Pitta dosha to become aggravated.

PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE SUN  According to Ayurveda, summer is considered to be a Pitta dominant season and Pitta dosha is aggravated by solar force.  To pacify Pitta dosha, it is necessary to protect yourself from the sun. Eat juicy fruits such as melons, pears etc.

TAKE COOLING BEVERAGES  It is a well known fact that carbonated beverages or a packed bottled juice don’t give any relief from the scorching heat.  Instead fresh seasonal fruit juices should be consumed. Include water melon shake, fresh coconut water, bael sharbat, panna, buttermilk as they are healthy as well as refreshing drinks.

TAKE COOLING DIET Ayurveda recommends cooling diet to be consumed during summer season which includes seasonal fruits and vegetables that are sweet, juicy, bitter and astringent in nature.

TAKE COOLING DIET  Use rose petals in summer season. Apply organic rose water on the face and if the eyes burn due to heat, then lie down for 10 minutes with organic rose water soaked cotton pads on closed eyes.  You can also splash some organic rose water in the bathing water.

EAT AT RIGHT TIME Lunch should not be skipped during summer season as the digestive fire is strongest during mid-day. Skipping lunch during summer season means upsetting the Pitta dosha.

EAT LIGHT FOODS  In summer season, our bodies naturally crave for light and small meals because the digestive fire disperses in order to keep us cool.  It is a time to include sweet, astringent and bitter tastes in the diet and to enjoy cool, liquid and slightly oily foods.
