Lemon & Lime – naturally cooling and sour, lemon and limes are incredible at regenerating body fluids lost through summer heat and sweating. They are great for harmonizing or balancing the stomach and regulating or moving Qi (or vital circulation) in the body. This helps us feel refreshed, thirst quenched and mood up lifted.
Limes are particularly great if you have a sour throat from dryness, a dry month or cough.
Adding a pinch of salt helps add back in some of the natural electrolyes that get lost through sweat. It also helps the body reabsorb fluids into the body.
