When the heat is rising…whether from the sun or When the heat is rising…whether from the sun or your own INNER spice…you need herbs that soothe your system. ⁠
⁠
These are some of my favorite spice-mitigating plant allies that help cool intensity 🌶️:⁠
⁠
🌸 Rose Tea is cooling and heart-opening. It soothes emotional intensity and helps balance heat in the blood and skin.⁠
⁠
🌿Peppermint Tea is naturally cooling to the digestive system. It helps reduce inflammation and is great for those overheated summer moments—whether they’re physical or emotional.⁠
⁠
🌺 Hibiscus Tea is cooling and cleansing—it’s tart flavor is oh-so-refreshing and the perfect addition to your summer mocktails.⁠
⁠
✨ Fennel Tea aids digestion without increasing heat. Its sweet and mildly cooling properties help to calm too much fire in the digestive system.⁠
⁠
🍬 Licorice Root Tea is deeply hydrating. It helps support natural energy without overstimulation. Plus, its naturally sweet taste helps soothe the Pitta craving for intensity and control.⁠
⁠
These herbs can be enjoyed individually or blended (like rose + fennel + peppermint) for extra balancing benefits. Pro tip: Let them cool to room temperature or serve slightly chilled during summer months for extra Pitta-soothing power. 🌺🌬️⁠

Ayurveda teaches us to eat with the seasons—in summertime, that means letting our food nourish and cool us from the inside out.⁠
⁠
Here are my go-to summer fruits and veggies to keep that Pitta calm, your digestion happy and your skin hydrated and glowing:⁠
⁠
🥒 Cucumbers: The ultimate Pitta soother, hydrating and cooling.⁠
🍉 Watermelon: Sweet, juicy and the perfect antidote to summer’s heat.⁠
🍓 Strawberries: Antioxidant-rich, sweet and a little astringent—the optimal light pick me up.⁠
🍑 Peaches: Hydrating and satisfying: Is there anything better than a fat, juicy summer peach!?⁠
🥒 Zucchini (and all your summer squashes): Moist, cooling and easy to digest.⁠
🍒 Cherries: Sweet and astringent goodness with heart-loving benefits.⁠
🌽 Sweet Corn: Grounding and satisfying, a perfect addition to your summer salads.⁠
🫐 Blueberries: Cooling and cleansing, while also supporting overall digestion. Their antioxidant-rich profile is just a bonus!⁠
🍇 Grapes: Grapes are kinda like nature’s perfect summer candy, amiright!? ⁠
⁠
A few little tips I’ll leave you with:⁠
⁠
~ Fruit is best enjoyed on its own (not with heavy meals).⁠
⁠
~ Keep it seasonal and local if you can, even if it doesn’t match this list perfectly!⁠
⁠
~ Mid-morning or afternoon is the ideal time to consume fruit while honoring our agni’s rhythm.⁠
⁠
Ayurveda helps us balance our mind, body and spirit from the inside out with ancient (yet timeless) healing spiritual principles. ⁠
