Pitta

As summer rolls around, the days grow longer and the temperatures rise, we naturally heat up as well. Some of us weather the heat better than others, but if you are naturally a fiery type, you are more prone to get overheated in both body and mind. Ayurveda is so wonderful because it reminds how to make choices so we can stay balanced and content. It tells us that like increases like and opposites balance. Sometimes it is the simplest of things that can have the greatest effect on our health and well-being. Here are some Ayurvedic tips on how to stay cool, calm and collected this summer.

Sadhaka Pitta, a Sub-Dosha of Pitta, is specifically in charge of how your heart processes events and emotions. A weak Sadhaka Pitta leads to psychosomatic problems like anxiety, fatigue, rage, depression and chronic stress. But a strong Sadhaka Pitta provides joy, contentment and the ability to let go of trauma. With Ayurveda there are many ways to strengthen Sadhaka Agni and balance Pitta and its Sub-Doshas. This article explains Sadhaka Pitta's role in the body and mind and gives 10 practices/herbal remedies for strengthening Sadhaka Agni.
