Current Temperament: Melancholic (Cold & Dry)

Seasonal Support: Summer (Hot & Dry)

Lifestyle Tip

Your system is in a season of replenishment spiritually, emotionally, and physically. While summer’s external heat offers some balance to your naturally cool temperament, the dryness may increase internal depletion.

Support your system with light but consistent meals, hydrating foods (stewed fruits, lentil soups, dates), and gentle movement after eating. Because your iron stores are low, honour your body’s need for slowness, deep rest, and rebuilding nourishment. Avoid long fasting or skipping meals during this time.

Emotional/Spiritual Support

Your heart longs for spiritual sincerity and peace with Allah, but you may hold on tightly to judgment, fear, or perfectionism. The heat of summer is an opportunity to melt the inner rigidity and let Divine Love soften your spirit. Affirm: “I trust in the warmth of Allah’s mercy. I let go, I allow, I open.”

Energetic Balance Practice

Your system thrives with moisture, warmth, and slow movement. Balance summer’s heat by sipping room-temperature or slightly warm herbal teas like fennel, rose, or marshmallow root. Avoid iced drinks, as they can further suppress digestive fire. Prioritize cooling, calming rituals: soaking feet in warm water with salt, using rosewater on the face and chest, and reciting dhikr or Qur’an softly aloud. Journaling in the evening can help move stagnant thoughts and release emotional weight.

Prophetic Remedies for This Season

1. Zamzam water (if available):

Drink with the niyyah of replenishment and healing. The Prophet ﷺ said it is for whatever intention it is drunk with.

2. Saffron

Saffron is a prophetic remedy known to uplift the heart, support circulation, and bring gentle emotional clarity. Spiritually, saffron has also been used as a gentle protection against negative energies, including jinn, while opening the heart to Divine love and remembrance. For your melancholic constitution and low ferritin, it offers subtle warmth and nourishment without overstimulation.

You can incorporate saffron into your meals by:

• Adding a few strands to rice while cooking or

• Soaking 3–5 strands in warm water, then stir into soups, stews, or warm plant-based milk

Saffron is spiritually known to soften heaviness, brighten the heart, and help restore joy in prayer. Use it with intention, even if only once or twice a week. A small amount carries great barakah.

3. Herbal Tea: Nettle, Rose, & Fennel

This blend is a supportive remedy to help nourish, moisten, and gently rebuild the system, especially as your body prepares for and integrates your upcoming iron infusion.

• Nettle is rich in minerals and gentle plant-based iron. While it doesn’t replace the potency of your infusion, it helps rebuild reserves, restore vitality, and support long-term nourishment.

• Rose cools and soothes the heart, softens internal harshness, and supports emotional release.

• Fennel supports digestion and nutrient absorption, helping your body receive the benefits of your food, supplements, and healing practices with greater ease.

How to Use:

• Drink 1 cup daily, ideally after meals

• After your iron infusion, you may gently increase to 2 cups per day for 1–2 weeks if your body feels receptive.

• Take 1–2 rest days per week to maintain balance and avoid overstimulation.

• Always sip warm or room temperature (avoid iced drinks), and avoid on an empty stomach.
