Want to give your body complete nutrition or save yourself from common deficiencies? Then don’t miss these 3 seeds daily in summer – pumpkin seeds, watermelon seeds, and poppy seeds (khas-khas). At Santushti Holistic Health, we believe that true wellness begins with small, mindful rituals rooted in real food and ancient wisdom. And sometimes, the simplest habits make the biggest difference.
A Morning Ritual That Nourishes Deeply
Soak 1 tablespoon of these three simple seeds overnight:
- Pumpkin seeds
- Watermelon seeds
- Poppy seeds (Khas-Khas)
- And a small handful of black raisins.
By morning, they soften and begin to germinate, making them easier to digest. Rich in soluble fibre, it helps with smooth digestion and relieves constipation.
This daily ritual helps fight summer fatigue, heat, and gut issues naturally.
Why This Works So Well
These three seeds form a powerhouse of micronutrients that support skin health, gut function, hormones, and more.
- Pumpkin seeds – Rich in magnesium, zinc, iron, and plant-based protein. Supports skin healing and hormonal balance.
- Watermelon seeds – Cooling and hydrating; contain essential fats and minerals that support digestion and skin clarity.
- Poppy seeds (Khas-khas) – Naturally calming and rich in calcium, magnesium, and fiber. Used in Ayurveda for soothing the nervous system and promoting deep sleep.
- Black raisins – High in iron, antioxidants, and vitamin C. It supports hemoglobin, energy levels, and reduces hair fall.
Together, they form a powerhouse of fibre, essential fats, and micronutrients that are often missing from our daily diet. Include it in your daily routine for best results.
