As summer unfolds, we welcome longer days, warmth, and activity. But according to Ayurveda, this fiery season requires a mindful approach to maintain equilibrium in body and mind. Governed by the Pitta dosha, summer carries the energy of heat, sharpness, and intensity. When Pitta is in balance, we feel motivated, focused, and energetic. When out of balance, it can lead to irritation, skin problems, digestive upset, and restlessness.
As temperatures rise, your skin faces new challenges—heat, dryness, breakouts, and sensitivity. In Ayurveda, summer is ruled by the Pitta dosha, known for its fiery qualities. While Pitta supports clarity and transformation, excess heat can disturb the skin's balance, leading to inflammation, blemishes, and premature ageing.
