Changes in the season create big changes in body. Extremes in temperature & humidity can really stress the body’s mechanism. With this in mind, we can maximize our personal “home remedies” of primary elimination systems at these peak times of year. In the spring, the body is focused on cleansing the linear system, which includes the blood and intestines. In the fall the body is focused on flushing the kidneys & the whole genitor-urinary system & cleansing the blood.
Seasons & Doshas!
The Tridosha Theory in Ayurveda classifies all living beings into three main categories. The diagnosis & treatment of any ailment is based on this theory. All Plants are medicinal.
Vatta Dosha accumulates during the day or dehydrating heat of the summer. It becomes aggravated during the rainy season which causes weakened digestion, acidic atmospheric conditions & gas produced from the earth.
Pitta Dosha accumulates during the rainy season due to the acidic conditions of the atmosphere & a weakened digestion. It is aggravated during autumn when the heat returns. This occurs after the cooling spell of the rainy season.
Kapha Dosha accumulates during the cold season due to the cold and damp caused by the winds, clouds and rain. It gets aggravated during the spring when the warm weather liquefies the accumulating kapha.
