Ayurveda on Rainy Season –
Wondering whether there are any effects on doshas with the onset of monsoons? Yes, Rainy season does have an effect on the doshas. As per Ayurveda, there is an increase in Vata and a mild increase in Pitta during the rainy season. Due to the moistness in the surrounding environment, there is a rise of moistness or coldness in our body too; which results in the sluggishness of digestive fire. This, in turn, leads to Pitta accumulation and simultaneous aggravation of Vata. So, one needs to balance Vata and Pitta doshas. An aggravated Vata leads to symptoms such as joint pain, muscular pain, acidity, loss of appetite, body ache, gas troubles, indigestion, cold & cough, etc. Hence, the imbalance in dosha needs to be pacified with proper diet and lifestyle changes.
