Inflammation

Sign in to review or comment
From burning eyes to rashes, hot flashes, and fibromyalgia, summer heat & humidity seem to exacerbate inflammation and swelling. Ayurveda offers you a method of keeping cool in a practical way. Mildly sweet coconut water or mucilaginous herbs like marshmallow root calm down inflamed mucus membranes in the summer time, providing relief and comfort. Astringent pomegranate juice, sweet pears and cool blueberries also soothe inflammation.
