Creating Balance in the Vata Season
As the external environment changes during the vata season, your internal environment can experience the same type of changes; dry leaves, dry skin; crackly leaves, crackly joints; shorter days, shorter attention span; colder days, colder extremities, windy days, windy bowels. The qualities of vata dosha are found in the disorders that are common at this time of year.

Spring has Sprung
The air is alive with the purposeful explosion of pollen from the variety of trees, plants, grasses, and flowers that are blooming. According to Doshic principles, pollen is primarily Pitta. Pollen carries Pitta’s aggressive nature and irritating potential.
Beat the Heat of Summer
Summer is Pitta. Pitta elements are Fire and Water and we are embarked on a long, hot, and humid Pitta season. In the Florida summer, you are especially prone to accumulating excess pitta. If your dosha is predominantly Pitta, you are at an even higher risk of becoming out of balance because Like increases Like = Hot increases Heat.
