Ritucharya: Ayurvedic
Seasonal Wellness
Why do you catch colds every monsoon? Why does acidity spike in autumn? Ayurveda has mapped these patterns for thousands of years. Ritucharya aligns your daily routines with the seasons — so you prevent health issues before they start.
Why Seasonal Routines Matter
Each season naturally aggravates certain doshas in your body. Pitta accumulates during monsoon and flares in autumn, causing acidity and skin issues. Kapha builds through winter and liquefies in spring, leading to congestion and sluggishness. Ritucharya helps you stay one step ahead — preventing imbalances before they become health problems.
The Six Ayurvedic Seasons
Each season has a dominant dosha influence and specific wellness practices to keep you in balance
Vasanta Ritu (Spring)
Feb 19 – Apr 20. Kapha liquefaction season. Focus on lighter foods, vigorous exercise, and practices that prevent congestion. Avoid heavy, oily, and sweet foods.
Grishma Ritu (Summer)
Apr 21 – Jun 21. Intense heat depletes strength. Focus on cooling foods, hydration, avoiding sun exposure, and light, easily digestible meals.
Varsha Ritu (Monsoon)
Jun 22 – Aug 23. Digestive fire weakens as humidity rises. Focus on warm, light foods, digestive spices, and avoiding raw and cold foods.
Morning routines, dietary guidelines, and evening practices — refreshed automatically with each new season.

Shishira Ritu (Late Winter)
Dec 22 – Feb 18. Cold intensifies and dryness increases. Continue warming, nourishing practices with extra attention to preventing Vata aggravation.
