Dear Friends,

Now that summer has arrived in full swing, we would like to take this opportunity to extend our wishes for a happy and healthy holiday weekend to all of you. While you are out having fun and enjoying the sunshine, it is still important to keep your health a top priority.

According to traditional Ayurveda, summer is a time when the element of fire (tejas) is increased, which in turn increases pitta. During this time of year, it is common to see skin dryness and irritation as well as various issues associated with excessive pitta.

A few tips to help manage pitta this summer:

• Wear light, well-ventilated clothing and cooling colors such as white, blue and purple.
• Eat minimal hot and spicy foods and avoid those with sour or salty taste.
• Eat bitter and sweet vegetables like artichokes, asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, leafy greens, peas, celery, wheat grass and zucchini.
• Alcohol and caffeine are both heating, so use moderately if at all.
• Now is the time to enjoy sweets! Eat ice cream and sweet fruits - avoid sour fruit.

A few of the herbs that help satisfy excessive pitta and are recognized for their cooling properties are: Neem, Tri-Force Turmeric 95, Co2 Brahmi Hair and Body Oil, Cooling Body and Massage Oil, and Bacopa.

We also offer complete lines of herbal supplements, skin creams, body and massage oils, essential oils, and fragrant attars based on traditional formulas.

All ingredients in our products are sourced consciously and grown organically. They are cruelty free and use no harmful fillers, preservatives, or chemicals.

We understand that your health is a priority, and with the almost endless approaches to healthcare it can often be confusing. At Tattva's Herbs, we take solace in the invaluable and unchanging wisdom of ancient healing traditions that emphasize the simple notion of balance. Only as the body, mind, spirit, and the surrounding universe are in harmony, will health truly flourish.

Wishing you the best of health,

Your friends at Tattva's Herbs
