Ayurveda concept of seasonal changes

According to Ayurveda, seasons have their own effect on the body. When there is a change in the season,it has an effect on the body and mind. The transition period between two seasons is known as ‘Rutu sandhi’.

During this period, special care needs to be taken. Because, even if you are following a very healthy lifestyle, you are prone to ill-health  just due to the effect of change of season.

Ayurveda preaches that the universe has its effect on the body. Like the Wind, Sun and Water control the Earth, Vata, Pitta and Kapha control the human body.
