Seasonal Vulnerabilities
Understanding which seasons challenge your constitution helps you prepare and prevent imbalances before they develop:
- Vasanta Ritu (Spring): Accumulated winter Kapha melts — congestion, allergies, weight gain, and sluggishness peak
- Hemanta Ritu (Early Winter): Kapha begins accumulating — the start of the cycle that leads to spring problems
Best seasons for you: Grishma (Summer) — when natural heat helps melt Kapha, and Vasanta (Spring) — when cleansing practices are emphasised
Most challenging: Hemanta (Early Winter) and Shishira (Late Winter) — when cold and moisture increase Kapha accumulation
