Summer puts your body under pressure. You’re sweating more. You’re out longer. And if you’re not careful, heat creeps in not just physically, but mentally too. Short tempers. Sluggish digestion. Breakouts. Restless sleep.

Ayurveda calls this a classic Pitta imbalance. The good news is: it’s preventable. You don’t need to overhaul your life. You just need to cool from the inside out and do it consistently.

Let’s start with something simple: what you drink

Sun Tea That Actually Works for Your Body

Lizzey, our brand ambassador, made a sun tea that checks every Ayurvedic box. It hydrates. It cools. And it tastes really good. No caffeine. No sugar crash. No freezer-burned ice cubes.

Here's what she uses:

• Hibiscus petals (circulation and cooling)
  
• Rose petals (calms heat and skin sensitivity)
  
• Fresh orange slices (hydration with a little zing)
  
• Sewanti Saffron Honey (nourishing, sweet, balancing)
  

Optional, but worth it: Add a pinch of Tulsi powder or a few fresh leaves. Tulsi helps regulate heat, supports digestion, and has a way of settling the heart and head.

How to make it:

• Add all your ingredients to a big glass jar
  
• Fill it with room temp water
  
• Set it in the sun for 4–6 hours
  
• Stir in the saffron honey before drinking

More Drinks to Keep in Your Summer Rotation

You don’t need to reinvent hydration. But you do need to get intentional. Here are two Ayurvedic drinks that support your body in the heat:

Amla Coconut Refresher

Mix half a teaspoon of Sewanti Amla powder into coconut water. Add lime if you want. Amla cools the body, supports digestion, and gives your skin what it needs to stay clear.

Tulsi–Mint Cooler

Steep Tulsi (holy basil) with a handful of mint and a squeeze of lemon. Let it cool and sip it slowly. It helps keep your nerves and belly from overheating, especially on busy days.

What to Keep on Hand (And Why)

These are the ingredients we reach for all summer:

• Tulsi Powder – Calms heat in the mind and belly
  
• Saffron Honey – Sweetens without spiking; cooling and uplifting
  
• Amla Powder – Great for digestion, skin, and summer fatigue
  
• Licorice Root Powder – Helps with dryness and supports hydration
  
• Triphala Plus – Keeps digestion regular when routines are off
  
• Pitta Massage Oil – Ideally applied before shower; Cools, relaxes and pacifies the mind and body.

Final Thought

Ayurveda isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing better with fewer things, done more intentionally.

Drink cool things. Touch your body with oil. Stay out of the sun when it’s too much. And let summer feel light again.

Stay cool. Stay steady. And enjoy the sun.
