Seasons in Ayurveda

Ayurveda, the millennia-old "science of long life," makes it easy for you to maintain good health and improve it if necessary. It simplifies the many thousands of factors that influence our health into three principles. These principles operate throughout nature and at the foundation of body and mind. In Sanskrit, these principles are called "Doshas." When these 3 Doshas – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha – are in their individual balance, one feels well and enjoys excellent health. Many factors influence the balance of the Doshas - for example, our daily routine, our diet, and the seasons. The tips presented here are intended to help you maintain your inner balance according to the respective season. This is not about strict adherence to recommendations, as the express goal of Ayurveda is to increase well-being and improve health. You are also welcome to "experiment" a little here.

Fresh from Summer into Autumn!

Tips for the cold season

In winter, due to the external cold, the internal "Agni" – the digestive power – is usually stronger than in other seasons. Therefore, you can now eat a little more hearty and rich food. Too light food would lead to the strong digestive fire breaking down body tissue and Vata becoming unbalanced. read more
