It is generally believed that spices generate heat in the body, but according to Ayurveda, these three spices have the power to keep your body cool as ice from inside even in the scorching heat:

• Fennel Seeds: Don’t just consider it a natural mouth freshener. Fennel has a very cooling effect. It not only keeps digestion healthy but also reduces irritation and acidity caused by heat. Drinking fennel water on an empty stomach in the morning is no less than a boon.
• Coriander Seeds: Coriander is not just for taste. Its seeds have cooling properties which cleanse the blood by removing toxic substances from the body and keep the body temperature stable.
• Cumin Seeds: Cumin is not just used for seasoning. To avoid stomach cramps and dehydration in summer, drinking roasted cumin powder mixed with buttermilk or lassi is the most effective remedy.
