Summer has finally arrived, bringing lovely bright evenings 🌅 and the cheerful songs of birds 🐦. This season also marks the height of pitta dosha, which is characterised as hot, sharp, energetic, and flowing. While it may not be particularly hot in Sweden during summer, nature still exhibits a strong pitta influence.
Pitta provides us with energy 💪 and strength, enabling us to achieve our goals. However, when pitta becomes unbalanced, it can lead to irritability 😠, frustration, and even anger. Those who struggle with imbalanced pitta can be challenging to be around. Additionally, an imbalance can result in physical issues like stomach ulcers, eczema, and various inflammatory conditions.
To maintain balance in pitta, consider the following tips:
- **Avoid stress.** Make time to truly relax this summer without feeling obligated to check off tasks ☀️.
- **Exercise actively, but don’t overdo it.** Choose activities you enjoy, ideally outdoors in nature 🌲. Swimming outside is an excellent option because it's refreshing 🏊♂️.
- **Spend time outdoors.** Beautiful natural settings are soothing for a stressed pitta dosha 🌻.
- **Stay hydrated.** Make sure to drink enough fluids, but avoid cold drinks and alcohol 🚫🍷. Warm or room-temperature water, freshly squeezed fruit juice, and lassi are great choices.
- **Don’t skip meals.** Remember, a hungry pitta is not to be trifled with 🍽️.
- **Enjoy healthy vegetables.** Incorporate foods like squash, pumpkin, broccoli, asparagus, and cucumber 🥒, as well as fresh, juicy fruits such as apples 🍏, pears, plums, melons 🍈, peaches 🍑, and grapes 🍇.
- **Stick to an early bedtime.** While it might be tempting to stay up late during the warm summer evenings 🌜, try to embrace the refreshing summer mornings instead.
- **Meditate, do yoga, and practice calming breath exercises.** If possible, do these activities outdoors to help maintain balance and reconnect with your true, loving self 🧘♀️☁️.
- **Don’t take life too seriously.** Enjoy the present moment; there’s no need to constantly strive to be perfect. Laugh, play, and have fun with the people you care about 😄.
Wishing you a wonderful summer! 🌞
