End-0f-Summer Blues – Chase Them Away with ONE Spray! – your SV Ayurveda Newsletter Sept 11, 2025 – #34, Vol 14

Towards the end of Summer, as the Autumn equinox nears, things shift in Nature impacting our bodies and minds… The autumnal equinox is literally an astronomical event where the sun appears to cross the celestial equator resulting in a nearly equal 12-hour day and 12-hour night across the globe. After this, the days get cooler and shorter as we get less and less sun. 

In Ayurveda, this event is called “ritu-sandhi” – it’s the transition from one season to another. Ritusandhi calls for a shift in our diets, routine, and overall daily activities as our body and its metabolism is also impacted by the sun. Ignoring this shift can result not only in the seasonal cold, but also deeper physical and mental “imbalances” such as: elevated anxiety and/or irritability; disrupted sleep; imbalanced digestion; skin rashes; migraines; overall inflammation; digestive issues; etc. 

According to Ayurveda, if the imbalances of pitta dosha are left unchecked, as the weather cools down and our physical channels shrink, heat may get trapped and all our symptoms may get aggravated and interfere with our daily activities. 

Some key things that you can do is:

1. Diet: shift your food choices from cold, sugary, and raw to warm, cooked and liquid. No more ice-cream – no exceptions! 
2. Taste: make sure you incorporate a good sour taste in your diet – favor lime over lemons – to help balance and re-ignite digestive fire or agni;
3. Support digestion by eating a piece of sweet pineapple or papaya after your meals: they contain digestive enzymes and will keep things moving;
4. Stay hydrated: use Vaidya Mishra’s rehydration drink recipe – you will love how delicious and satisfying it is!

These are some basic guidelines to get you started. We will share more information in our upcoming newsletters. However, there is also ONE wondrous product that can help you be on top of things and take away the edge from end-of-summer restlessness… Have you tried Vaidya Mishra’s “Blissful Awakening” Spray?

This spray will not only refresh and restore you to a calm mind and heart, but did you know it can also be used to help neutralize EMF vibrational pollution resulting from over-use of computers and/or other electronic devices? 

Neutralize EMF Vibrational Pollution?

This facial mist can also be used as part of your SVA EMF (electro-magnetic field) management protocol. It contains several drops of pure chandanam (sandalwood oil) – the much coveted breed from South India. Sandalwood is highly somagenic - thus cooling and grounding. Spray this mist on your face while using your computer to help absorb and negate the ‘buzzy’ corrupt marut (etheric energy). The sacred herbs and spices in this formula will help prevent synthetic pranic EMF energy from disturbing your nadis - vibrational channels. 

During highly stressful times such as the ones we are currently witnessing in the world, it is truly a blessing to have highly pranic products that can help restore equanimity within seconds. Don’t take our word for it – find out for yourself…

Namaste!
