In Ayurveda, the dosha of heat is called Pitta. Pitta plays a role in our bodies, minds, the food we eat, and in the seasons that pass.
Feeling like you're melting in the summer heat? Laura Lummer, a two-time breast cancer survivor and wellness coach, has some refreshing Ayurvedic tips to help you cool down from the inside out. In this episode of 'The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach', Laura dives into the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda to offer practical advice for managing heat and hot flashes, especially during breast cancer recovery. Ayurveda, an age-old Indian system of medicine, teaches us about balancing the body, mind, and spirit.
One of its key concepts is the dosha of heat, known as Pitta. Laura explains how Pitta influences our bodies, minds, and even the food we eat. She shares how understanding and managing Pitta can help alleviate the discomfort of hot flashes and other heat-related symptoms common during breast cancer treatment. Laura provides a handy list of cooling foods and herbs that can help reduce internal heat and inflammation.
Think along the lines of fresh fruits, leafy greens, and specific herbs like Manjistha, Bhumiamalaki, and Brahmi. She also emphasizes the importance of seasonal eating and steering clear of fermented dairy products when your Pitta is high. But it’s not just about what you eat. Laura also talks about daily routines that can make a big difference. Ever heard of abhyanga? It's a self-massage practice that can help cool your body and mind.
She also suggests incorporating essential oils into your routine to help ease symptoms of depression. For those who love to stay active, Laura has tips on how to keep your exercise routine going without overheating. From adjusting the intensity of your workouts to practicing yoga poses that cool you down, she’s got you covered.
Whether you're navigating breast cancer recovery or just looking for ways to beat the summer heat, Laura's Ayurvedic tips offer a holistic approach to staying cool and balanced. Tune in to this episode for a refreshing take on managing heat naturally.
