Summer is the season which is dominated by the fire element. It is a season characterized by heat and humidity and unbridled growth of flowers, grasses, trees and leaves. Children and adults alike emerge from their homes and naturally begin to engage in physical activities. In general, we experience most difficulty in this cruel season which matches our primary body type: fall/winter for Vata-types; summer for Pitta-types; spring for Kapha types. This means that we should be particularly faithful to our prescribed constitutional regimens and, in addition, include measures which honour the season. Here are some of the really healthy drinks to keep you cool during this summer:
Lassi
Lassi is an ayurvedic yoghurt drink, which not only tastes wonderful but also helps digestion and balances all the doshas. Lassi is best taken after lunch or late afternoon rather than in the evening.
Preparations: To prepare lassi, blend thoroughly fresh and set yoghurt with 2-4 times water, preferably using a mixer or a whisk. The flavours may be varied to suit your taste and the season. Try cooling rose or coconut, and cardamom with a little sugar in summer, and warming almond or salt in winter.
