☀️ Introduction:
Ahmedabad’s summers can be harsh—and they don’t just affect your skin or mood. Excess heat can lead to dehydration, acidity, bloating, skin breakouts, and even fatigue. But here's some spicy news—certain traditional Indian spices are natural body coolants!
As a practicing dietician in Ahmedabad, I often recommend cooling spices to balance body heat and improve digestion during hot weather. Let’s explore my top 7 summer-friendly spices that not only cool you down but also boost your immunity and metabolism.
🌿 1. Fennel Seeds (Saunf)
Fennel seeds are mildly sweet and a natural body coolant.
🔹 Soothes the digestive tract
🔹 Reduces acidity and bloating
🔹 Can be soaked overnight and consumed with water
🌿 2. Coriander Seeds (Dhaniya)
Coriander seeds have detoxifying properties and support urinary tract health.
🔹 Promotes better hydration
🔹 Reduces internal inflammation
🔹 Drink coriander seed water in the morning
🌿 3. Cardamom (Elaichi)
This aromatic spice reduces internal heat and fights summer fatigue.
🔹 Natural breath freshener
🔹 Supports digestion
🔹 Mix in chaas, smoothies, or herbal tea
🌿 4. Cumin (Jeera)
Cumin seeds balance the pitta dosha (heat) and aid in cooling digestion.
🔹 Great in buttermilk or jeera water
🔹 Reduces stomach heat
🔹 Detoxes the liver
🌿 5. Mint (Pudina)
Though technically an herb, mint’s cooling effect makes it a summer essential.
🔹 Natural coolant for the body
🔹 Helps reduce prickly heat and sweating
🔹 Use in chutneys, lemonades, or raitas
🌿 6. Turmeric (Haldi)
Haldi isn’t just for winters—it supports gut health and balances inflammation even in summer.
🔹 A pinch in warm water or turmeric chaas
🔹 Anti-inflammatory and healing
🔹 Helps skin stay clear from heat-related acne
🌿 7. Fenugreek Seeds (Methi Dana)
Fenugreek has a natural cooling and detoxifying effect on the body.
🔹 Soak overnight and drink methi water
