With chilled curd, water and spices like cumin and mint, you can ward off the heat. Moreover, it is one of the most effective drinks in Ayurveda which can also help in digestion. All in all, nutritionists even think that chaach is recommended by nutritionists in summer.

Tip 5: Mint

Tip 7: Black Pepper

Tip 8: Pippali With Honey
Add in honey with Pippali to your batch of buttermilk, then you can ease abdominal swelling caused by intestinal perforation.
Tip 9: For Vegans
