Ayurvedic Tips For Staying Cool During The Dog Days Of Pitta Season

noreply@blogger.com (Tara) — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 19:20:00 +0000

In Ayurveda, Summer is called Pitta season because Pitta is the dosha ruled by fire. Thus, during the Summer months, everyone becomes a little "fiery" with sunburn, oily skin, frizzy hair, heat exhaustion, etc. Following are a few Ayurvedic solutions for common Pitta-season conditions:

Soothe Sun Exposure
■Use only the purest, alcohol-free after-sun lotions/gels with a base of Aloe Vera, for its cooling properties.
■TARA Recovery Gel is restorative and fast-acting, combining the healing properties of pure Aloe Vera with the soothing effect of Tea Tree Essential Oil, to help relieve sunburned or irritated skin.
■TARA Rehydrator Lotion is a soothing, all-purpose lotion that combines the healing properties of pure Aloe Vera with nourishing Rosehips to maintain healthy, balanced skin...especially after sun exposure.

Reduce Blemishes and Oily Skin
■TARA Pitta Sensitive Mask is a natural blend of herbs that provides soothing, cooling relief to easily irritated, delicate or sun-exposed skin, while reducing redness.
■Follow with a thin application of pure Aloe Vera gel as a natural toner. Leave on for 3-5 minutes, then rinse off with cool water.

Control Frizzy Hair
■Massage in 2-3 teaspoons of Coconut Oil and leave in for 2 hours or overnight, then wash out.
■Or, try TARA Herbal Infused Hair Oil, which is a complete deep moisturizing and balancing product, that also reduces dehydration in the scalp.

Chill Out
■The quickest way to lower your core temperature is to take a coll bath. Adding a few drops of TARA Sandalwood or Rose Essential Oil to the water helps to extinguish the overabundance of Pitta that accumulates in the body during a hot Summer day.
■While soaking, enjoy the ultimate internal cooler, chilled Coconut Water (the clear liquid from the center of a fresh coconut).
