1. Sabja (Sweet Basil Seeds): These tiny Sabja seeds possess remarkable properties. They prove extremely effective in keeping the body cool and reducing internal body heat. Every night before going to bed, soak some Sabja seeds in water. Drink this water the following morning. Alternatively, you can consume Sabja by adding it to salads, yogurt, sherbets, or milkshakes.
