Stay Cool, Hydrated & Refreshed in the Summer Heat…

It’s that time of year again when the days are long, the nights are hot & the heat of the summer is at its peak! Summer, Ayurvedically known as pitta season, is the time of year when the fire element is most predominate in our environment. With this increase in fire, comes an increase in heat.
