Sattu Sherbet is a traditional Ayurvedic summer drink made from roasted gram flour (sattu), water, lemon, and rock salt. It is renowned for its cooling, hydrating, and nourishing properties, making it an ideal choice for Grishma Ritu (summer season) when Pitta dosha is aggravated.

Sattu Sherbet has a cooling potency (Sheeta Virya) that helps regulate body temperature, preventing heatstroke, excessive thirst, and fatigue. It is especially beneficial for those who experience body heat, acidity, and dehydration during summer.

The combination of rock salt and lemon in Sattu Sherbet helps restore lost electrolytes, preventing dehydration and maintaining energy levels. This makes it a perfect natural alternative to synthetic energy drinks.

Sattu is a powerhouse of plant-based protein, making it an excellent drink for vegetarians and those needing sustained energy. It keeps the stomach full for longer, reducing unnecessary cravings, but unlike heavy proteins that may cause bloating or indigestion, Sattu is light on digestion and enhances Agni (digestive fire) without overheating the system. 

The presence of fibre in sattu promotes gut health and prevents constipation. Sattu naturally detoxifies the body by flushing out toxins, supporting liver function, and improving metabolism.

For maximum benefits, drink Sattu Sherbet fresh in the morning or midday. Avoid adding sugar—stick to lemon and rock salt to preserve its Ayurvedic benefits. This simple yet powerful drink is a natural coolant, an energy booster, and a digestive aid, making it an essential Ayurvedic summer beverage.
