Greeshma rtu is the peak summer season of Bharata. It is the time of the year when the Sunrays are very harsh. The sun appears to be showering extremely intense heat on the earth. The winds flowing from south west become unpleasant. The earth appears scorched, rivers become narrow and thin due to decreased water levels and the entire surrounding appears as if it is on fire. The small herbs, crops and grass creepers are vanished or destroyed, big trees loose their leaves and become leafless. Animals also roam around in the search of water. In short, the life on the earth at this time is dehydrated, exhausted and dull. <ref>Sushruta Samhita (Sutrasthanam Adhyaya 6 Sutra 29-30)</ref>
== ग्रीष्मे अग्निदोषादीनां गतिः॥ The status of bio-energies in body in Greeshma ==
Intense heat and dryness of summer in Greeshma Rtu causes changes in the bio energies. Kapha dosha in body which is inherently cold in the property, decreases due to extreme heat in the outside environment. Kapha and Vata are opposite in properties to some extent. Therefore day by day reduction in the levels of Kapha leads to increase in Vata dosha levels in the body. <ref>Ashtanga Hrudayam (Sutrasthanam Adhyaya 3 Sutra 26-41)</ref>

Intense heat and dryness of Greeshma cause Kapha reduction and Vata aggravation. Therefore certain diet and lifestyle should be followed to maintain balance of these bio-energies, prevent their further disturbances and preserve health.
=== What should be strictly avoided in Greeshma rtu? ===
== What should be strictly avoided in Greeshma rtu? ==
* Avoid food that is salty, pungent, spicy and sour in taste. All such foods cause upsurge in heat levels and further deterioration of health.
* One must avoid doing exercise in this season since the overall strength is already low, heat from outside weather causes excess dehydration and fatigue. Hence exercise is contraindicated.
* Avoiding direct exposure to harsh sunrays and heat is important.
* One must avoid use of liquor (alcoholic drinks) as much as possible. In other case at least it should be diluted with lot of water and the amount of liquor should be very much less than the usual quantity of intake. Because otherwise it leads to dehydration, weakness, burning sensation in body, inflammation and delusion etc.
* Keeping awake late night should also be avoided
== What should be followed in Greeshma rtu? ==
== What should be followed in Greeshma rtu? ==
* One should preferably eat food that is predominantly sweet in taste.
* Foods that are easily and smoothly digested, unctuous (having some calories) and not dry, cooling in property and predominantly liquids should be consumed in this season.
* After taking bath with cold water, one should take saktu with sugar.
* White rice can be taken along with the meat of Jangala (living in deserts) animals.
* Meat soup which is not very thick can be taken.
* Rasala, a type of sweet or dessert wherein churned thick curd is mixed with sugar and some herbs like cardamom, pepper, clove etc, should be consumed being suitable for this season.
* Raaga, meaning sweet, sour and salty syrups made up of various fruits etc can be taken
* Khandavas, syrups or jams made up of multiple substances are also suited for this season.
* Panakas, mocktails or drinks made up of various refreshing ingredients like dates, raisins etc should be consumed. Panchasara, is one such type of a drink made up of dates, liquorice, black raisins, fruits of kashmari, parushaka etc is specifically mentioned to be beneficial to drink in this season. It proves to be more helpful when stored and drank through a clay pot or container.
* Water can be infused with the flowers of Patla tree or camphor, cooled down and then taken throughout the day in sufficient amount.
* Food items like Shashanka kiranas (sweet and cooling in prorperties) should be enjoyed at night time.
