Hi friends, Indian Meterology. Department predicted this will be hotter summer. In summer, due to heat body and mind both get exhausted quickly. So for maintaining stamina we need special care. Let see, how can we deal this with help of Ayurveda.
In summer, adjust your daily regime. Start your day at early morning. Avoid strenous exercises, but yes you can practice some regular workout followed by relaxing postures. Practice nadishuddhi, sheetali or sitkari pranayam, it will help to reduce effect of heat.
Apply warm coconut oil to all over body speacially at head. Bath with cold or lukewarm water. Instead of using perfumed soap, u can add rose water, aroma oil, dry orange peels or rose petals to bathtub. It will refresh body and mind. Apply paste of turmeric and chana(chickpea) or masoor( red lentils) flour with milk instead of soap.It will remove dead tissues and will make skin glowing.
For bad odour of sweat, apply fine powder of khas, chandan or licorice. Wear pure cotton cloths with light shades. Use natural frgrances like attar. Avoid direct contact with sun. Use suncoat, scarf and goggles. Avoid outing between 12 to 4 pm. Don't take immediate showers after exposing heat. Have sleep at early in night. One can have day naps, if feels exhausted.
In summer,there is loss of fluids from body. So diet should be replenishing. Include curries, rice, milk, ghee, kheer, soups, lemon juice, fruit juices, jams and sharabat. Increase use of cumin and coriander. Drink water from Earthen pot. Use sweet taste, reduce spices. Exclude salty, spicy , fried and dry food, curd, alcohol, vinegar and garam masala. Avoid frequent tea and coffee. Eat all seasonal fruits.
One may experience burning feet and eyes. Use coconut oil or ghee for foot massage. Put rose water drops in eyes.
One last and most important thing for making summer season comfortable, plant more trees.
So make your summer healthy.
