Tips » Summer Tips » Staying Cool
In the summer heat waves we can all agree that a cold drink is very refreshing. According to Ayurveda, cooling Pitta during the summer is good, but ice cold drinks are not.
This is because ice cold drinks put out Agni (the digestive fire), which hampers digestion.
Ayurveda recommends cooling Pitta Tea, which has the same effect, but without putting out the digestive fire.
