Summer in India: a time of vibrant colors, bustling festivals, and scorching heat! While we slather on sunscreen and crank up the AC, the intense sun can leave us feeling sluggish and drained. According to Ayurveda, the traditional Indian medical system, summer aggravates Pitta, the fiery energy in our bodies, leading to lethargy and irritability.
Fear not! This summer, embrace a holistic approach to wellness that keeps you cool, energized, and ready to conquer the season. Here are some key strategies:
1. Cool Down with Quick & Effective Exercises:
