As summer heats up across India and beyond, the ancient science of Ayurveda reminds us to stay aligned with nature’s rhythm. According to Ayurvedic principles, summer awakens the Pitta dosha—the bio-energy linked to fire and heat. When aggravated, Pitta can lead to acidity, irritability, inflammation, skin rashes, and fatigue.
At Kairali – The Ayurvedic Healing Village, a leading health retreat in Kerala, our experienced Vaidyas (Ayurvedic physicians) emphasize the importance of seasonal living. Drawing from centuries-old texts like Ashtanga Hridayam and Charaka Samhita, we guide our guests and global wellness seekers toward creating a personalized Pitta-balancing Dinacharya (daily routine)—one that can be practiced both at our wellness retreat in Kerala and at home.
Why Balance Pitta in Summer?
Pitta dosha governs digestion, metabolism, and transformation. It’s naturally high during summer, as the sun’s intensity amplifies internal heat. Signs of excess Pitta include:
- Hyperacidity or heartburn
- Skin eruptions and sun sensitivity
- Anger, frustration, or irritability
- Excessive sweating
- Loose stools
That’s why Ayurveda recommends adopting a cooling, calming routine to counteract these effects.
Your Pitta-Balancing Daily Routine: Ayurvedic Tips from Kairali
1. Morning Cooling Rituals
- Wake up before 6:00 AM during the summer to harness the coolness of the day.
- Splash your face and eyes with rose water—available through Kairali Products—to soothe heat and calm the mind.
- Oil your body with Kairali’s Kaircin Oil (a blend of saffron and natural herbs) before a shower to nourish and protect your skin.
2. Hydration with Herbal Support
- Begin your day with lukewarm coriander or fennel tea—herbs that help cool Pitta and improve digestion.
- Avoid caffeinated or carbonated drinks. Instead, sip on Kairali’s Herbal Infusions for hydration and detoxification.
3. Cooling Diet for Pitta
At our Ayurvedic retreat in India, meals are designed to pacify Pitta with natural, seasonal produce. Try this at home:
- Include: Fresh coconut, cucumber, watermelon, leafy greens, soaked raisins, moong dal khichdi, cooling herbs like mint and coriander.
- Avoid: Spicy, fermented, oily, and overly salty foods.
Tip: Use cow ghee generously—it cools the body and nourishes internal tissues.
4. Midday Meditation & Rest
- Practice Sheetali Pranayama (cooling breath) during the hot midday hours.
- Include yoga asanas that are grounding and cooling: child’s pose, forward bends, moon salutations.
At our wellness retreat in Kerala, afternoon schedules are designed for introspection, healing therapies, and mindful rest.
5. Evening Self-Care
- Massage your feet with Kairali’s Ayurvedic Foot Massage Oil before bed—it calms the nervous system and improves sleep quality.
- Diffuse cooling essential oils like sandalwood, vetiver, or lavender.
