 According to Ayurveda, the year is
governed by the direction of the
movement of the sun and is divided into
two periods (solstice) that is Uttarayana
(northern solstice) and Dakshinayana
(southern solstice).
 Ayurvedic ritucharaya is based on Dosha
and Panchmahabhuta theory.
INRODUCTION

 Summer season brings it with the host of
symptoms such as excessive body heat,
sweating, dehydration, skin rashes,
sunburns, acne, diarrhoea, lethargy etc.
 Summer is hot, bright and a season of
Pitta. Thus, it is recommended to
maintain the balance and not allowing
the Pitta dosha to become aggravated.

Summer season is known as “Grishm
Ritu” in Ayurveda. In Ayurveda, there
is a detailed description regarding
different seasons and the regimen to
be followed.

6. PRANAYAM

PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE SUN
 According to Ayurveda, summer is
considered to be a Pitta dominant season
and Pitta dosha is aggravated by solar
force.
 To pacify Pitta dosha, it is necessary to
protect yourself from the sun. Eat juicy
fruits such as melons, pears etc.

TAKE COOLING BEVERAGES
 It is a well known fact that carbonated
beverages or a packed bottled juice don’t
give any relief from the scorching heat.
 Instead fresh seasonal fruit juices should be
consumed. Include water melon shake,
fresh coconut water, bael sharbat, panna,
buttermilk as they are healthy as well as
refreshing drinks.

TAKE COOLING DIET
Ayurveda recommends cooling diet to
be consumed during summer season
which includes seasonal fruits and
vegetables that are sweet, juicy, bitter
and astringent in nature.

TAKE COOLING DIET
 Use rose petals in summer season. Apply
organic rose water on the face and if the eyes
burn due to heat, then lie down for 10
minutes with organic rose water soaked
cotton pads on closed eyes.
 You can also splash some organic rose water
in the bathing water.

EAT AT RIGHT TIME
Lunch should not be skipped
during summer season as the
digestive fire is strongest during
mid-day. Skipping lunch during
summer season means upsetting
the Pitta dosha.

EAT LIGHT FOODS
 In summer season, our bodies
naturally crave for light and small
meals because the digestive fire
disperses in order to keep us cool.
 It is a time to include sweet,
astringent and bitter tastes in the
diet and to enjoy cool, liquid and
slightly oily foods.

EAT LIGHT FOODS
 Summer is considered as the best season
for the intake of fresh fruits and salads.
 Fresh and sweet dairy products can also
be included in the diet during summer
season such as homemade yogurt,
buttermilk, cottage cheese etc.

PRANAYAM
SHEETALI PRANAYAM
 Stick your tongue out and curl the sides of the
tongue upwards towards the center of the
tongue.
 Now, breathe in through the mouth and hold
the breath. Slowly exhale through the nose.
 Repeat this procedure 5-10 times.

PRANAYAM
CHANDRABHEDI PRANAYAM
 Close the right nostril with the right thumb. Now, exhale
completely through the left nostril and then breathe in
through the left nostril.
 Close the left nostril with the little ring finger and exhale
through the right nostril. Repeat this procedure 5-10
times.
 After this pranayama, lie down in Shavasan (Corpse pose).

DIET AND LIFESTYLE TO BE FOLLOWED DURING SUMMER SEASON
 Stay in cool places.
 Excessive exercise or physical activity should
be avoided.
 Avoid sun exposure during the day time
especially between 11 am to 3 pm.
 Vegetables like cucumber, asparagus, green
leafy vegetables should be consumed.
 Milk mixed with cow’s ghee should be
consumed during night.

FOODS TO BE AVOIDED
 Avoid foods that produce heat in the
body such as sour fruits, garlic, chilies,
dark meats as they tend to heat up the
system.
 Avoid taking alcohol in the summer
season as it heats up the system.
