Seasonal changes bring noticeable alterations to the environment for all of us, such as spring blossoms, autumn foliage, or the winter hibernation of animals.
Similarly, our bodies are also influenced by these external changes, and our inner self, our internal rhythm, is in sync with the environment.
If the body cannot adapt to seasonal changes, it can lead to a disturbance of the doshas, an imbalance between them, making our body more susceptible to diseases.
Therefore, understanding the seasonal routine, ritucharya, and the order of the different seasons is crucial.
If we fail to consume foods, wear clothes, and perform routines appropriate for the given season, it can disrupt homeostasis and lead to lifestyle diseases such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, or even cancer.
Humans, being part of the same ecosystem, are greatly influenced by these external changes. Diseases arise from an imbalance between people and their environment. For instance, in winter, influenza, dry skin, and asthma attacks are more common; in summer, heatstroke is easily acquired; and in spring, pollen allergies are severe.
By understanding and practicing ritucharya, the seasonal routine, and by aligning our routine with the seasons, we can prevent problems, maintain the harmony of the tridoshas, and stay healthy.
