Transition of Rains to Fall in Conjunction with Dussehra: An Ayurvedic Perspective on Seasonal Eating & Disease Prevention

As the heavy monsoon clouds drift away and the bright, golden light of autumn takes over, India celebrates Dussehra — the victory of good over evil, light over darkness. In Ayurveda too, this period is seen as a time of transition: moving from Varsha Ritu (rains) into Sharad Ritu (fall). This shift is known as Ritu Sandhi, a seasonal junction where the body is most vulnerable. Just as nature changes her rhythm, our body, mind, and digestion also undergo transformations. Aligning with this wisdom through seasonal eating and lifestyle is the key to preventing disease and maintaining balance. The Ayurvedic Lens: Varsha Ritu → Sharad Ritu This is why Ritu Sandhi (transition period) demands careful food and lifestyle adjustments — to protect Agni, balance doshas, and prevent seasonal diseases. Common Diseases in the Rains-to-Fall Transition Seasonal Eating According to Ayurveda Ayurveda reminds us: “As is the season, so must be the diet.” The foods that nourished us during the rains… Continue reading Transition of Rains to Fall in Conjunction with Dussehra: An Ayurvedic Perspective on Seasonal Eating & Disease Prevention

Dry Cough due to H3N2 Virus: Ayurveda’s Healing Approach

The ongoing H3N2 influenza virus has left many suffering from dry cough—a stubborn, irritating symptom that drains energy and disturbs rest. Unlike productive cough, a dry cough doesn’t expel phlegm, making it more troublesome. Ayurveda, with its deep understanding of body–mind balance, offers safe and effective remedies to soothe the throat, strengthen immunity, and heal the respiratory system. Ayurveda’s View on Dry Cough In Ayurveda, cough is classified as Kasa Roga, which occurs due to an imbalance in Vata and Kapha doshas. H3N2-induced dry cough is mainly Vata-dominant: dryness, tickling sensation in the throat, sleeplessness. In some cases, aggravated Kapha may block the respiratory channels, making the cough more persistent. Ayurveda focuses on lubricating the dry channels, balancing doshas, and improving lung strength. Ayurvedic Remedies for Dry Cough 1. Talispatradi Churna with Honey 2. Hridra Khanda Take with honey twice a day. Benefits: 3. Kankasava (Only under Vaidya’s supervision) 4. Tulsi (Holy Basil) Boosts immunity and soothes throat irritation. 5.… Continue reading Dry Cough due to H3N2 Virus: Ayurveda’s Healing Approach

The rainy season brings relief from the summer heat, but it also leads to joint discomfort—especially in the knees and cervical spine (neck). Many people experience pain, stiffness, and swelling during this time. Ayurveda explains these health challenges as a result of aggravated doshas, lifestyle changes, and environmental factors.

Fever – Not an Enemy, But a Natural Healer

When the body temperature rises, the first reaction most people have is fear. We rush for medicines to suppress it immediately, thinking fever is harmful. But Ayurveda teaches us something profound – fever is not our enemy; it is the body’s way of healing and cleansing itself. What Ayurveda Says About Fever In Ayurveda, fever is called Jwara, considered one of the earliest and most important diseases described in the classical texts. Rather than treating it as just a symptom, Ayurveda views fever as a signal of imbalance in the body. When Ama (toxins) accumulates due to weak digestion, irregular diet, or lifestyle imbalances, the body generates heat to burn and eliminate these toxins. Fever is thus the agni (digestive fire) intensifying itself to restore balance. Ayurveda explains that fever: So, fever is actually a protective response, not something to be feared. Suppressing it too quickly without understanding its cause can hinder the natural healing process. The Role of Fever… Continue reading Fever – Not an Enemy, But a Natural Healer

Should we have sprouts in Rainy Season?

Sprouts – A Lesson from My Patient Couple Recently, a young couple came to me at Anammyaa Wellness. They were bright, health-conscious, and full of enthusiasm to adopt Ayurveda in their daily life. While discussing their food habits, they proudly told me— “Doctor, we have started including sprouts in our lunch and dinner because we heard they are the healthiest thing to eat!” I smiled and listened patiently. Then I gently explained— The Ayurvedic Perspective In Ayurveda, sprouts are considered Laghu (light), Rooksha (dry), and Kashaya (astringent) in nature. They are full of prana, the energy of new life. But like every food, their effect depends on time, prakriti, season (Ritu), and digestive strength (Agni). Eating sprouts in main meals like lunch or dinner may not be ideal because: During the rainy season (Varsha Ritu), digestion is naturally at its weakest. If the stomach cannot digest even light, cooked foods properly, how will it digest raw sprouts? This is why… Continue reading Should we have sprouts in Rainy Season?

Rains & The Rise of Skin Conditions in Children – An Ayurvedic Perspective

The rainy season brings joy to little ones – splashing in puddles, playing in the cool breeze, and enjoying nature’s beauty. But along with this delight, rains also bring an increase in skin issues among children – rashes, itching, fungal infections, eczema flare-ups, and urticaria (hives). Ayurveda beautifully explains why this happens and how we can protect our children’s delicate immunity instead of suppressing symptoms with modern medicines. Why Do Skin Conditions Rise in the Monsoon? In Ayurveda, Varsha Ritu (rainy season) is a time when: Children are naturally Kapha-dominant, making them more prone to these seasonal skin eruptions. Diet Restrictions for Children in Monsoon To protect their skin and immunity, Ayurveda advises Ahara (dietary care) along with Dinacharya (daily routines): Avoid: Include: These balance digestion and prevent toxin accumulation, which is the root cause of skin flare-ups. Ayurvedic Treatments & Home Remedies Why Antihistamines Harm Children in the Long Run Modern medicine often prescribes antihistamines to stop itching and… Continue reading Rains & The Rise of Skin Conditions in Children – An Ayurvedic Perspective

Natural SPF Sunscreen in Ayurveda: Protecting Your Skin the Ancient Way

In today’s skincare market dominated by chemical sunscreens, Ayurveda reminds us that nature has always offered safer, holistic ways to protect and nourish the skin. According to Ayurveda, the skin is a reflection of inner health, directly influenced by doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), diet, and lifestyle. Excessive sun exposure tends to aggravate Pitta dosha, causing pigmentation, premature aging, burning, and sensitivity. While SPF (Sun Protection Factor) in modern skincare measures UV protection, Ayurveda emphasizes raksha (protection) through natural herbs, oils, and minerals that balance Pitta while shielding the skin. This is where natural SPF sunscreen solutions from Ayurveda stand apart. Natural Ayurvedic SPF Protectors Chandan (Sandalwood)Sandalwood is renowned for its cooling (Sheetal) qualities. It calms aggravated Pitta, prevents tanning, and soothes sunburnt skin. Its natural barrier helps block harmful UV rays while reducing inflammation, making it an essential component of natural SPF sunscreen formulations.
