I am excited to share with you two things – my latest article for Spirituality & Health magazine & my brand new online course, The Medicine in Your Kitchen: Introduction to Ayurvedic Cooking, made with all the devotion of my heart and packed with years of study, trial and experience.
3 Cool Drinks for Summer Inspired by Ayurveda
When it comes to cooling off, many people drink down ice water. But ice water cools the belly, shunting blood away from your gut which can diminish digestion, already challenged by the heat. Ironically, ice water also requires your system to work harder to adjust body temperature, defeating the purpose by creating more heat.
What we want in summer, or any time pitta is high, are foods and drinks that are cooling in their energy, so that their overall effect offers lasting balance to the heat. And because we perspire to release heat, foods and drinks high in mineral content are essential to replace elecrolytes, regulate body temperature, maintain energy, and prevent burn-out.

Oh my goodness, these three drinks are summer gold. Sharing with client ASAP! I was just this week talking to a client about summer hydration. She gets tired of water and wants something nourishing, yet fun and flavorful. These are perfect. And what a great resource your online course. Something else I will point clients to!
