Don't Miss These Ayurveda Tips for Better Health This Summer

Summer brings intense heat, longer days, and a natural tendency toward dehydration and fatigue. According to Ayurveda, summer is the season where Pitta dosha (fire and water elements) becomes dominant, making the body more prone to heat-related imbalances like acidity, skin issues, indigestion, and irritability.

If you want to truly beat the summer heat the Ayurvedic way, don't just stick to the usual advice. Here are some powerful and lesser-known Ayurveda tips to help you stay healthy and energized:

1. Start Your Day with Coriander Seed Water

Soak a teaspoon of coriander seeds overnight and drink the strained water in the morning. This naturally cools the body, supports digestion, and balances Pitta without upsetting other doshas.

2. Use Sandalwood Oil for Cooling

Apply a few drops of pure sandalwood oil diluted with coconut oil to your pulse points (wrists, neck) before stepping out. It calms Pitta, prevents skin irritation, and adds a natural cooling aroma to your day.

3. Prefer Moong Dal over Heavy Lentils

Swap heavy lentils like chana dal or urad dal with moong dal during summer. It is lighter, easier to digest, cooling, and helps maintain energy without overheating your body.

4. Amla Churna with Water Midday

Take half a teaspoon of Amla powder with plain water after lunch. It acts as a powerful natural coolant, rich in Vitamin C, and strengthens immunity during the vulnerable summer months.

5. Avoid Overeating Sweet Fruits

While fruits like mangoes are tempting, Ayurveda suggests not overloading on very sweet, heavy fruits. Instead, favor lighter fruits like pomegranate, guava, and watermelon in moderate quantities to avoid aggravating Kapha-Pitta imbalance.

6. Midday Rest, Not Afternoon Naps

While it’s natural to feel drowsy, avoid heavy afternoon naps as they can worsen sluggishness and digestion problems. Instead, practice short shavasana (lying flat on your back) for 10 minutes to refresh without aggravating Kapha.
