Ayurveda autumn cleanse
Ayurveda expert Zane Zalite discusses the autumn seasonal transition from pitta to vata, as the summer months make way for winter
According to ayurveda, the seasons can affect us greatly and in many different ways. The saying “as is the macrocosm, so is the microcosm” captures an important principle: that the environment in which we reside, affects both our body and mind.
With the weather hot and humid throughout the summer, our body’s core temperature is higher and we perspire; these are pitta qualities according to ayurveda. Autumn weather, however, brings with it dry air and cooler nights, while daylight hours start to grow shorter.
When the air is cool and dry in the vata season (October through to February), we experience more of those qualities inside of us. Evenings bring with them a gentle chill and we may feel the need to pull a blanket on and stay in and watch a movie, or sit by the fire.
After all those exciting summer months, filled with late nights, iced coffees, barbecues (and chilled wine!), we may notice the onset of some undesired symptoms, such as indigestion, or a stiff neck, back or hips.
