Enjoy Sweet Treats In Summer

Summer is the best time of year to indulge in light, cooling sweet treats. Sweet taste is juicy, hydrating and quenches thirst. It soothes inflamed membranes while lubricating dried out tissues. Emotionally, sweetness soothes irritability, an emotion due to high pitta. Pitta is also is tempered by a little luxury. The next time your perfectionist pitta predominant partner is losing his mind over crumbs on the counter, simply offer a coconut popsicle. Within minutes, perspective will return. A decadent, smooth, cool dessert to soothe pitta is Hibiscus Blueberry Jello. Keep some handy in your fridge!

Just Chill

Light natural sweets are truly soothing. Fruit sorbet, coconut water, horchata, and rose petal jam are all therapeutic choices. Although sweet taste is cooling as a rule, honey and refined sugar are heating. Keep that in mind when choosing a sweet treat with the intention of cooling off.
