These Refridgerants Cool You Down Fast In Summer

Sign in to review or comment
As the summer wears on, you may begin to notice heat symptoms taking hold. This may look like acne, rashes, headaches, acid reflux, hot diarrhea, dried out stool, or excessive thirst. Or it could mean irritability, and a hot temper. These symptoms can indicate an excess of pitta dosha. These refrigerants are a great way to cool your temper, and remove the excess pitta.

1/4c of Aloe Vera Juice

The aloe will soothe your digestive tract, much like it soothes your skin after a sunburn. You will notice symptoms subside over time. Continue for one month. Keep in mind, this is a remedy for an immediate imbalance and not for long term use. In fall or winter, drinking this much aloe could create cold symptoms. In the summer, however, aloe vera juice brings welcome relief.

1c of Cilantro Juice

Take a handful of cilantro, chop it, and add it to a blender. Puree it with 1/2c of water and strain. Drink the juice and notice the cool relief you feel in the eyes and on your forehead.

Alternatively, try a handful of chopped cabbage.

Cucumber & Milk Smoothie

Chop up 1c of cucumber and puree with 1c of milk. This is guaranteed to make you feel like arctic temperatures are ahead. Take caution if you're kapha because dairy is heavy.
