ayurvedic perspective
Summer, Blood and the Heart
The long days of intense summer heat can push you and your heart to overexertion. The heart beats an extra ten times per minute with every one degree rise in body temperature. A faster heart beat moves more blood close to the skin. Your body also dilates the blood vessels near the surface of the skin, which could make your face appear flushed during the hot summer months. Hot blood close to the surface of the skin radiates heat, cooling your body between trips to the beach.Summer, the Liver & Kidney
The heart is an extroverted organ. Summer festivals and late night gatherings with friends can seem all the more attractive in summer months. However, the overexertion eventually exhausts the liver, leaving you feeling irritable and depleted. Burning the midnight oil and extended sunlight hours can cause your eyes to sting and burn. Sweating also takes a significant toll on your body, bringing a loss of important electrolytes. The loss of electrolytes depletes the kidneys as well.Summer and Your Emotions
The sweetness of carrots and raisins help cool your blood, soothe your liver and relax irritated tissues. Beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, directly supports your liver and calms the eyes. Delicate orange blossom water provides a perfume that delights your senses, cooling an overheated summer mind. Together, the dish serves as the equivalent of sitting under a cool waterfall, refreshing your body, giving you more energy and peace of mind.About Carrot Salad with Orange Blossom, Raisins & Grapefruit
This salad makes a great picnic or summer potluck food - a colorful and playful celebration on the summer table.
preparation
Grate the carrots. Peel the grapefruit and slice into triangles. Add remaining ingredients and toss until well mixed.
