Have you taken the time to notice how the leaves fall nonchalantly from its limbs? While on a walk I found this leaf and felt the need to hold on to it. How could the trees let go of such beauty, leaving behind bare limbs? Yet, so it must be. It's time to let go and bare your soul.

In Ayurveda, summer is Pitta season. Pitta Dosha has the characteristics of being oily, sharp, hot, light, mobile and liquid- which is like the hot sticky humidity of summer. Based on Ayurveda, "like increases like". So to stay in balance we need to seek out activities and foods that have soothing, calming, and cooling qualities to avoid becoming aggravated or overexerted physically, mentally or emotionally.

The simple sight of being in nature can boost your mood. The color green is associated with a feeling of optimism and being refreshed. It is also easy on the eyes, making it easy to spend hours exploring without feeling overwhelmed. The various shades of green helps us to find balance, while experiencing a sense of renewal, peace  and abundance.

Besides the many emotional and mental ways flowers can lift our moods, they are also a great addition to our plate. Edible flowers have become a trend that has taken off in 2022, further giving us more reasons to bring the outdoors in. For those with a vegan diet or those seeking new flavors, it has been a worthwhile treat for our gut health.
