Ratnagiri-based Ayurveda practitioner Dr. Nikita Koli has the perfect antidote for people prone to burning urination, hyperacidity and fatigue. Dhanyak hima (coriander and barley-infused drink) is an easy-to-make drink made by crushing, mixing, and soaking coriander seeds and barley overnight. The infused water can then be drunk either in the morning or throughout the day to relieve burning and indigestion.

Another summer drink to promote the gut biome and heart health is parsley water. A potion rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as antioxidants, is known to uplift mood and calm the mind. “Put a handful of chopped parsley leaves in a pitcher of water and gently press down the leaves with a wooden spoon. Don’t crush them too much, as this can make the water bitter. Leave it on for 30 minutes before drinking to allow the nutrients to be properly absorbed,” advises Delhi-based nutritionist Divya Gandhi.

After straining and cooling, you can enjoy this drink with your meals or any time of the day,” says Dr. Aiswarya Santhosh, an Ayurvedic practitioner from Thrissur.
