Our top Tips for the Festive season and Summer
Most people, especially those prone to Pitta imbalances, should avoid or minimise excessive exercise, alcohol, and foods that are salty, sour and pungent, or hot in nature during the high summer heat.
As the quote from the classical text states “one should either drink alcohol in little quantity or should not drink at all”.
How do you feel about this?
Some tips
1. Avoid excess alcohol
2. Stay well hydrated! We love coconut water or diluted pomegranate or grape juice
3. If you consume alcohol, stay out of the sun (Don’t drink at the beach)!
4. Don’t drink on an empty stomach.
5. Don’t drink if you feel weak and tired
6. Keep cool by sprinkling water or spraying rose water mist on your face
7. Wear light clothing (linen or cotton).
8. Wear cooling gems (such as rose quartz, Aquamarine, Sapphire and pearls)
9. Practice Nasya (nasal oil application) with bhringaradi oil or brahmi ghee
10. Try a lassi drink. Blend 1 tablespoon of fresh yoghurt with a cup of water and a pinch of cumin powder. Drink this 3-4 x daily, this will help to prevent dehydration and soothes a burning stomach
- Foods - cooling and nourishing foods to balance both Pitta and Vata. Basmati rice, coriander, cucumber, celery, basil to name a few.
- Celebrate the sun: welcome the sunrise facing east while performing your spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, pranayama and chanting.
- Ksheeradhara will be one of our most popular Ayurvedic treatment with the heat rising in Perth. Wonderful to cool body and mind.
