Thought Leadership & Dosha Healing - How Seasons Influence the Balance ( Chart 1)

Dosha Healing focuses on overall health and longevity of an individual. All the six seasons have a certain effect on the three basic doshas and thus they indirectly and invariably affect our health.

• Vata dosha tends to become accumulated in summers. This may be apparent by noticing the dryness of this humor as it effects the vegetation. Plants and vegetables lose their moisture and tend to become drier during summers.
• Vata gets aggravated in the rainy season. This is the time when the aggravation in the humor causes easy production of TYPE – V of diseases.
• Autumn is the season in which this dosha gets alleviated.

• Pitta tends to get accumulated within the body systems in the rainy season. There is acidic reaction of food as the plants and water is apt to become turbid during this period of the year.
• The aggravation time of this humor is considered to be in the autumn season. And this results in causing more ailments of TYPE  P of diseases i.e. all those maladies in which there is dominance of the fire humor of the body.
• Early winter is the time or season when this humors shows signs of mitigation.

• The Kapha Doshas is believed to get accumulated in the early winters, as this is the time when water becomes cold, clear and heavy by nature. (This is in harmony with the properties of the phlegm humor).
