You could benefit from balancing your Fire Element so continue reading on, because I have a sweet offer for you! Let’s talk about Ayurveda-a 5,000 year old medicine that originated in India that focuses on living in harmony with Mother Nature, balancing the 5 elements (Ether/Space, Air, Fire, Water, Earth) and managing our sleep, food intake and energy. Two elements combine to create three doshas: Vata (Ether & Space), Pitta (Fire & Water), Kapha (Earth & Water). We are all a unique combination of the three Doshas in varying amounts, mostly one primary Dosha, and one secondary Dosha. I’m going to keep this super brief, if you love this stuff and are curious about it, please reach out to me for an Ayurvedic Consultation where we take a deep dive into your current constitution (vikriti) and work on balancing the elements within you and achieving your health goals through diet and lifestyle recommendations. (If you want to learn more about your constitutional make up, book a 90 minute consultation or check out this Dosha Quiz).
Summer time!! The Fire is STRONG🔥. Too much of an element leads to an imbalance. So if your constitution is primarily Pitta, you have a lot of fire, and you could be experiencing these increased symptoms listed above more so than a Vata or Kapha primary constitution. The remedy is to invite in the opposite qualities, actions and traits to achieve balance through mindset, movement, lifestyle, food and beverages. The Pitta Dosha is hot, sharp, intense, spreading, light, and oily. To balance the Fire we need to invite in coolness, smoothness, slowness, heaviness and dryness. We can do this in SO MANY WAYS. An increased Fire needs the Space and Earth element to balance it out. This means we need to slow down and incorporate feeling grounded. We REALLY want to decrease too much movement (AKA the AIR element). When Air meets Fire, it spreads the fire and can lead to destruction. Summer time is perfect for slowing down, doing less, and staying cool.
