    Summer is a season of wonderful vacations, beautiful
    beaches, and tasty mangoes. But this also means ice cold beverages, longer sun
    exposure to harsh sunlight, late night outdoor drives, imbalanced/ improper
    food intake and so on. According to ayurveda, summer season are referred as
    pitta seasons. Almost 73% of the population miss out on such cheerful times
    worrying about common health problems.



    The oily, spicy, sour foods, irregular sleep intervals,
    excessive body heat and so on develop as well as worsen acidity or pitta
    problems. This pitta is then carried forward during following season. Ayurveda
    strongly advocates, on time proper care during summer season for healthier, happier
    years ahead. Here's a list of common health problems occurring in summers



    Loss of appetite



    On the onset of summer season, everyone suddenly gets alert
    about this problem but honestly, it is natural. Digestive system is weaker
    during these times as compared to winters. Additionally, one tends to drink
    more water hence, he/ she does not get hungry.



    Tip­ Fruit juices
    can be a great option if you don't feel hungry. Prefer natural fresh fruit
    juices over packaged ones.




    Dehydration

    Many people get tired of drinking water again and again
    because of its bland taste. This often causes water loss leading to
    dehydration. Normal water loss causes fatigue, dizziness, physical/ mental
    exhaust or tiredness which can be resolved easily. But a 15­-20% water loss can
    be fatal.



    Tip: Normally,
    thirst is an adequate measure of body's water requirement. So drink ample water
    whenever you feel thirsty. Having 2­3 cucumbers everyday during summer season
    can be a good idea as it has 96% water content.




    Acne and blemishes



    Sweat, oil, skin dirt etc. cause several infections
    including acne and pimples. Absence of proper care result in long term
    blemishes and scars.



    Tip: Applying
    aloe vera gel can help a lot. Ayurvedic skin care medicines like Evergel 90 by Prakruti
    Jiyofresh
    can also be of great advantage.



     



    Bleeding nose



    Dried nasal membrane caused nosebleeds. Excessive body heat,
    nose prickling etc. cause this health problem. Weak blood vessels in nose also
    cause such problems at times.



    Tip: Increase
    iron and vitamin C in your diet. Soybeans, pulses, chickpeas can help for iron
    whereas oranges, strawberries, lemons boost vitamin C levels. If you get cold
    during summer season, do not blow your nose very hard.



     



    Prickly heat



    Excessive sweat gets trapped with dead skin and several skin
    bacteria. This creates small sized bumps. When these bumps burst, prickly heat
    rashes emerge.



    Tip: Keep your
    skin cool and dry. Wipe off excessive sweat regularly. Apply sandalwood powder,
    vetiver (wala) powder, or Epic Shatadhaut Ghrut by JiyoFresh if you get skin
    rashes or itchy skin.



     



    Skin pigmentation



    Skin pigmentation is determined by melanin production.
    Factors like stress, hormones, and excessive sun damage produce excessive
    melanin which causes skin darkening. But this does not make melanin your new
    enemy. Melanin acts as a protective layer against harmful UV rays. Keeping your
    skin healthy with the right skin tips plays a crucial role.



    Tip: Dab coconut
    water/ coconut oil/ wipe off your make­up with olive oil can keep your skin
    hydrated. You can manage skin pigmentation by applying aloe vera once everyday
    for two weeks. Face pack made of sandalwood and rose water also reverse sun
    triggered skin melanin.



     



    Heat stroke



    In contrary to other summer health problems, heat stroke can
    be fatal if not treated properly. It occurs when body temperature rises above
    40° C and cannot sweat properly.



    Tip: Body organs
    react to heat according to one's metabolism. Avoid dehydration under all
    circumstances. Limit smoking and drinking, if a habit
