During Summer when the heat is on, everyone will experience an increase in Pitta dosha.

SALTY taste is called Lavana in Sanskrit. The dominant elements are Water & Fire providing the qualities heavy, hot & oily.

Sour taste is called Amla in Sanskrit. The dominant elements are Earth and Fire providing the qualities of liquid, heating, oily & light.

The SWEET taste is called Madhura in Sanskrit. The dominant elements are Earth and Water providing the qualities heavy, cooling, and oily.

Each of the six Ayurvedic tastes denotes a particular biological function and energetic influence that creates changes in our system.

Our medicine for this Vata season will be to adjust & attune our diet & lifestyle to accommodate for this energetic & physical shift.

Making sure you take the time and steps to properly CHILL OUT, literally and figuratively, will help keep you smiling all Summer long.
