Mid-January to mid-March (approximately) is considered as Shishira(winter).

As per Ayurveda, the Shishir Ritu or the winter season actually happens to be a good period for building immunity.

The season is ideal for Ayurveda interventions in conditions such as Muscoloskeletal aches and pains, Rheumatoid Arthirists; Ashtma & allied respiratory conditions; Insomnia, anxiety & mental disorders. It is also the best time for restoration of body stability and equilibrium, the lack of which is manifested thru pains and maladies.

This is the best time of the year to undergo various detoxification and purification program. Panchakarma in the winter season is meant for rejuvenation for nervous system.

Nasyam and Dhoompan, Vasthi, Kayaseka, Ellakizhi, Poddikizhi, Bashpa Sweda, Shirovasthi, Shirodhara are some of wellness treatment offered during this season.

The approximate time is from mid-March to mid-May.

On the health front, the season being warm and pleasant the accumulated toxins – Khapha Dosha – begin circulating in the channels of the body and vitiates the Agni which governs metabolism and leads to obstruction in the channels of circulation, manifesting in various maladies. Hence, this season is ideal for whole body purification

This is the best time to treat or prevent respiratory conditions like Bronchial Ashtma, Common Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Chronic Throat infections, Sluggish metabolism manifest in lethargy and tiredness, and severe skin conditions.

Mid-May to mid-July (approximately) is considered as Grishma (summer) season.

The season being warm, we see Kapha Kshaya -a reduction in the immunity. Pitta (the Dosha that governs all heat, metabolism and transformation in the mind and body) accumulates as the heat in the atmosphere gets accumulated in the body; and accentuates Vata (the Dosha that governs all movement in the mind and body. It controls blood flow, elimination of wastes.) making the body go dry.

This season is the best time to undergo treatments including Panchakarma procedures that cool the body down and keep the skin supple and moist, and take recourse to Ayurveda to prevent occurrence of conditions such as Sun Stroke, Fevers, Urinary Tract Infection, Dryness and Rashes of the Skin, Chronic Headaches and Gastro Intestinal Disorders.

Wellness therapy for this season are Abhyangam, Sarvanga takradhara, Takra- shirodhara, Sarvanga ksheeradhara, Ksheer- shirodhara, Njavarakizhi, Sadhyo Virechana- one day purification etc.

Mid-July to mid-September (approximately) is considered as Varsha Ritu.

For those who seek to emerge strong and hardy, this season is apt to opt for different Ayurveda interventions as the already depleted nutrition in the atmosphere as well as the human body makes the Agni – the metabolic-digestive fire – weak. This weakened Agni leads to the vitiation of all the three Doshas – Bio-elements – governing the body.

Hence in this season it is good to both treat or prevent maladies that can arise on account of vitiation of the Doshas. The best outcomes for the following conditions, in particular, can be secured if treated during the season: Multiple vague aches and pains, Burning sensation, and Tiredness and Lethargy.

Matra vasthi, Yoga vasthi, Kal vasthi , Yapan vasthi are the best evaluative measures to expel vitiated Disha. Sarvangam Abhyangam, Bashpaswedam, Sarvanga Kayasekam, Lepanam, Avagahanam, Choorna Pindi Swedam, PatraPinda Swedam, Jambir Pinda Swedam are indicated during this season.

The period between mid-September to mid-November is Sharad Ritu (autumn).

Autumn liquefies the Pitta, which governs all heat, metabolism and transformation in the mind and body. Pitta controls how we digest foods, how we metabolize our sensory perceptions, and how we discriminate between right and wrong, and governs the important digestive “Agnis” or fires of the body. Post rainy season, the weather aggravates the fire element, which in turn vitiates the blood in the body. This makes the season a precursor to several disease conditions, but appropriate seasonal wellness therapies ensure lasting health.

Autumn is a time of the year best suited for whole body cleansing, and various disease conditions such as bleeding disorders, fever, skin rashes, chronic arthritis and breathing disorders such as Asthma. Snehapanam, Sarvangam Abhyangam Virechanam (Purgation), Shiro Dhara, Sarvangam Takra Dhara, Saravangam Ksheera Dhara, Raktha Mokshanam (Blood letting – Leech Therapy), Navrakzhi etc are included in this season wellness module.

It is also the best time for restoration of body stability and equilibrium, the lack of which is manifested thru pains and maladies.
