It's summa summa summa-time!
Summer solstice is upon us and the heat is kicking in. Have you ever noticed how your body responds to the summer heat?
For those of us with more fire physically and mentally, the heat can aggravate some of our symptoms or create new ones altogether. For others, the summer heat can be very balanced and welcome.
But either way, the heat can sometimes be too much.
From exacerbating inflammation, sparking fiery emotions, catalyzing quick digestion or painful spasms, or drying up our tissues and more, heat has an impact on us.
So to stay harmonized with the season, learning to cool the summer heat in our bodies can help us feel better in our menstrual cycles, hormonally, and overall.
In today's episode, you'll learn about 10 herbs as well as some lifestyle and dietary practices you can incorporate into your daily routine to cool and calm your body and mind - in this season and beyond.
Tune in to find out:
- how the summer heat messes with your body and mind

- why some of us are more impacted than others by the heat
- ten herbs to help calm and cool you this summer
