#RAINY_SEASON #Lifestyle_Diet_Benefits Acharya Charak in verse 33rd of chapter 6 in sutrasthan, states that most important fact to be remembered in #Rainy_season is- आदानदुर्बले देहे पक्ता भवति दुर्बल: | स वर्षासु अनिलादीनां दूषणैर्बाध्यते पुनः || This verse explains the condition of the internal environment of our body at the onset of rainy season. It means that the digestive fire which is already weakened due to uttarayan (the period in which heat of the sun at its highest level, causes dryness and loss of energy throughout the northern hemisphere), tends towards serious malfunctioning if overloaded. It means that if we continue taking the diet that we were habitual of, throughout the winter, spring and summer, without any modification of quantity and quality, will definitely hamper the functioning of the agni or digestive fire and may ultimately result into vitiation of all three doshas at once. #Lifestyle Monsoon is a time when body’s immunity drops, thus proper care should be taken to prevent possible illnesses. Some of the lifestyle tips to follow during Monsoon are - Ayurvedic treatments are highly recommended during this season in order to prevent any kind of disorders and to boost immunity Use warm water for bath Avoid walking bare foot Massage body with oil Avoid sleeping at daytime Use umbrella to avoid heavy rains & strong sun rays which usually come during monsoon Avoid over exertion in any form #Diet According to Ayurveda , ‘Agni’ is responsible for the digestive & metabolic activities of the body. During the monsoon season, Agni or the digestive fire is weak due to the aggravation of Pitta dosha which in-turn leads to various diseases. Diet thus followed during this season should balance the vitiated doshas and stimulate ‘Agni’ to perform proper digestion. Here are few simple guidelines recommended by Ayurveda that should be followed during the Monsoon - Drink small portions of lukewarm water throughout the day for good digestion Easily digestible, hot & light foods should be taken Ginger, black pepper, lemon can be used to promote better digestion Moong can be eaten with cow ghee or filtered oil Medicated porridge like rice soup, millet soup with spices is recommended Include honey in your diet Fried, spicy, uncooked foods should be avoided #Benefits_of_Monsoon_Ayurveda Varsha Ritu or Monsoon season is considered as the best to undergo Ayurvedic treatments since the moist climate opens up the pores in the skin, making it more receptive to all the medications and treatments.
