As per the Ayurveda, Coriander is one of the most cooling spices. It helps your body to get rid of the excess heat and toxins while soothing the digestive system and fighting inflammation. This happens because coriander has diaphoretic properties, which lead to perspiration and reduce the inner body temperature. Both the coriander seeds and fresh coriander leaves are a part of the many Indian dishes.

Cumin helps to make you feel lighter and refreshes your body at the time of the hot summer days. You can drink a glass of cumin water every morning or may even add cumin to your cooked meals.
