Summer Salts: Cooling Ayurvedic Blend for Pitta Season
Summer brings the fiery energy of the Pitta dosha—hot, sharp, and intense. While the warmth fuels activity and creativity, it can also lead to overheating, irritability, and inflammation. This Summer Salts blend is designed to cool and calm Pitta, soothe digestion, and keep the body refreshed. Light, cooling herbs paired with mineral salt make this the perfect seasoning for fresh vegetables, salads, or cooling summer soups.
