We all have Pitta dosha in our constitution, but s We all have Pitta dosha in our constitution, but some of us have a bit more “fire” inside. 🔥⁠
⁠
It’s important to get to know the qualities of Pitta dosha—especially if you live in the Northern Hemisphere—because as we move into summer, Pitta will be on the rise. The macrocosm of the seasons and the microcosm of our bodies are closely interrelated, so when the fire element increases in the external environment, it requires that we counterbalance this excess heat with our food and lifestyle decisions. If you’re a Pitta type in a hot climate, you may be especially prone to becoming “hot-headed” or inflamed as we move into summer! ⁠
⁠
In our year-long Ayurveda certification program, you’ll learn Ayurvedic wisdom for identifying the doshas, gain insight into your own constitution and develop the expertise to help others find balance. ⁠
⁠

For this recipe, just let the sun do the steeping. For this recipe, just let the sun do the steeping. 🌞 Fill a glass jar with dried rose petals + fresh mint and let it infuse under the midday rays for a few hours. What do you get? A cooling, heart-opening, Pitta-pacifying potion that’s as beautiful as it is nourishing.⁠
⁠
Here’s a little bit about how these plant allies help support us during the warmer months of the year…⁠
⁠
🌹 Rose - The ultimate flower of the Divine Feminine:⁠
⁠
 • Cools the heat of both the body and our emotions (hi, Pitta spiciness 😅)⁠
 • Soothes the heart and uplifts mood with its subtle, floral sweetness⁠
 • Some studies have demonstrated that rose also has the potential to support the reproductive and nervous systems, and even impact dopamine levels⁠
⁠
🌿 Mint - The crisp, clarifying herb we all need in summer:⁠
⁠
 • Helps to clear excess heat and inflammation from the gut and skin⁠
 • Stimulates digestion without aggravating Pitta (exactly what we want!)⁠
 • Awakens the mind while calming overactive fire in the head + heart 🔥⁠
⁠
Sip this floral elixir all day long to stay hydrated, radiant and keep your Pitta chilled out. Your inner fire goddess will thank you. 🧘🏼‍♀️⁠
