How to Slow Down & Appreciate Summer
Itโs important to know how to down slow, especially during the hot summer months.
Slowing down in the midst of summer is a classic Ayurvedic guideline. Much of this stems from living in sync with your constitute, also known as, your Dosha. Dosha is a central term in Ayurvedic medicine originating from Sanskrit. Dosha(s) are your health types used to specify how one should eat, sleep and exercise for a balanced mind, heart and lifestyle.
