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.
Abhyanga: The Ayurvedic Practice of Self-Massage with Oil
In Ayurveda, self-massage with oil is called Abhyanga, a practice that nourishes the body, calms the mind, and cultivates self-love. In Sanskrit, the word Sneha means both “oil” and “love.” When you anoint yourself with warm oil, you are not only moisturizing your skin — you are offering love and care to your entire being.
This simple yet profound daily ritual helps restore balance to the doshas, especially Vata and Pitta, making it ideal during seasons of stress, dryness, or heightened heat.
