Gently Transitioning into Pitta Season

Although we officially start Pitta Season on June 21st in the northern hemisphere, some of us may already be feeling the push into summer 🌞😅.

For those of us that are prone to Pitta imbalances that are largely related to inflammation 🔥, chronic conditions, acne, hot body temperatures, anger 🤬 and having a harsh inner critic voice 🙀, this can be amplified during this time of year.

Luckily, the beautiful science of Ayurveda, gives us diet and lifestyle practices to harmonize our body 🤗, so we can enjoy the summer without melting into a hot, sweaty puddle 💦.

What I love about the recommendations I take on with Ayurveda is that they just require small adjustments to our diet and lifestyle practices.

These are some of the slight changes I am making to my life right now to prepare my Pitta dominant body for summer 👙!

Consume Bitter Greens 🥬 - I loveeee the bitter taste as a whole, so I am pretty much eating greens year round. However, in drying seasons like Fall and Winter, I have to monitor my raw green intake as it can cause Vata imbalances like dryness, constipation and gas. In the summertime, I love loading up on arugula and romaine salads 🥗and sautéing my beloved kale. I also am obsessed with dark chocolate 🍫 and while it can be heating for summer, I enjoy it with moderation as it has the bitter taste.

Longer Cool Downs 😅- Whenever an Ayurvedic practitioner has tried to advise me to workout less, I completely stopped listening 🙉. This is true for a lot of Pittas. Part of their sanity is having a rigorous physical routine. However, over time this can lead to pitta imbalances like inflammation, high estrogen and burnout 💥. While this may eventually look like adding in some yin 💆🏼‍♀️ and sound healings to your life, you can start more simply by extending your cool down at the end of your workouts. I love ending with breathing techniques and a long meditation. This calms the nervous system, so you enter your day relaxed 🙂 vs. high strung.

Earlier Wake Up Time ⏰ - Aligning with nature is what Ayurveda is all about. Currently, in LA, sunrise is at 545am. I am noticing my body naturally wanting to wake up earlier in the day. I try to get outside as early in the morning as possible to receive the natural red light therapy from the sun 🌞. This can reset our circadian rhythm, which resets our digestion, sleep and energy levels ⚡️!

Moon Lit Walks 🌚 - The moon has a cooling and nurturing quality to her that is very balancing for Pittas. I love talking a Moonlit stroll in the evening to cool down after a hot day and enjoy the stars ⭐️. Star gazing also helps invite in the ether element which gives Pittas the space to digest the stimulation of the day and put things back into perspective.

Gratitude Journal 💕 - It is easy to get caught in the heat of the mind 🤬 and heart during Pitta season, so I amp up my gratitude game. Sometimes I write things I am proud of myself for. Other times, if people are bringing me challenge, I will do a meta peace meditation or take a moment to find the real reason I was so triggered by them 🤯.

Eat Juicy Fruits 🍉 - Yessss finally!! Give me all the papaya, mangoes, berries and citruses 🍋. I also love coconut 🥥 meat to cool the body. Especially if you feel like your appetite has been in overdrive, these fruits are great for cooling the digestive system.
