Sadhguru Offers Summer Remedy for Body Heat: Nutrition Expert Weighs In
In a recent Instagram video, spiritual leader Sadhguru shared a simple yet intriguing summer remedy aimed at reducing excess heat in the body. He noted that symptoms of this heat can include discomfort in the eyes and urinary issues. To alleviate these sensations, he recommended drinking ash gourd juice, consuming green gram, or applying castor oil to specific body areas. “Instantly, within five minutes, the system will cool down. It’s as simple as that,” he asserted.
While Sadhguru’s suggestions may appeal to many seeking quick relief, nutrition expert Dt. Amreen Sheikh, chief dietitian at KIMS Hospitals in Thane, emphasizes a more nuanced understanding of “body heat.” According to her, this term often relates to dehydration, acidity, or the body’s ongoing response to high temperatures. “In summer, the body loses fluids and electrolytes faster. This can lead to fatigue, irritability, and digestive discomfort,” she explained.
Though remedies such as ash gourd juice and green gram are nutritious and supportive of hydration, Sheikh warns against expecting immediate cooling results. “The body regulates temperature through complex physiological mechanisms, not quick topical fixes,” she explained. Therefore, she advocates for consistent hydration and balanced meals as the most reliable approaches to cope with the heat.
As the summer heat intensifies, many turn to traditional wisdom, but experts like Sheikh remind us of a deeper truth: our bodies thrive on simplicity and balance. The Bible echoes this principle in Proverbs 25:27, which teaches that “It is not good to eat too much honey” — a reminder that balance is essential, even with good things.
Sheikh suggests incorporating water-rich foods like buttermilk, lemon water, and fresh fruits into our diets, alongside lighter meals. “Spacing meals and avoiding long gaps can help prevent acidity, which many people mistake for body heat,” she advised.
In an age of information overload, it’s easy to be tempted by quick fixes or trendy remedies. Sheikh warns against myths like the efficacy of extremely cold drinks disrupting digestion, or relying on a single “superfood” for total wellness. Instead, she advocates for mindful eating and hydration.
Key Takeaway: As we navigate the challenges of summer heat, let’s reflect on the importance of balance in our lives — both physically and spiritually. Just as maintaining hydration is vital for physical health, nurturing our spirits through prayer, contemplation, and community can foster a more profound sense of peace. Remember, small, mindful choices echo the biblical wisdom that delights in moderation, helping us cultivate a summer of health and harmony.
In the words of Jesus from Matthew 11:28, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” As you seek solutions to summer heat, let this be an invitation to refresh your body, mind, and spirit in a holistic way.

Q&A about
How can I cool down my body naturally this summer without relying on unusual remedies?
There are various natural ways to cool down that align with a biblical perspective. Drinking plenty of water and enjoying the shade reflects the wisdom found in Proverbs, which teaches us to seek shelter and nourishment. Staying hydrated is essential, and God reminds us that He provides living water to satisfy our deepest needs.
Are there any summer cooling hacks that I can try that are grounded in my Christian faith?
Using simple methods like wearing light-colored clothing or eating refreshing fruits aligns with stewardship of our health. In 1 Corinthians, we’re reminded that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, so caring for them, especially in extreme heat, honors God. Choosing the right foods can also be an act of worship, reflecting gratitude for His provisions.
What does the Bible say about taking care of ourselves during hot weather?
Caring for our bodies during hot weather is consistent with the Biblical principle of loving our neighbors as ourselves. When Jesus taught us to love our neighbors, that includes taking care of our health so we can better serve others. By recently resting in the heat and ensuring we’re protected, we honor God’s creation in us.
Should I be concerned if certain summer remedies aren’t working?
If certain remedies aren’t effective, it might be good to reflect on Jesus’ teaching about discernment and wisdom in Matthew 7:7-8, where He encourages seeking the right solutions. Consulting with trusted sources, just as we would seek God’s guidance through prayer, can help clarify what practices best align with our needs. Remember that it’s okay to experiment and learn as we seek God’s wisdom in our daily choices.
