The main characteristics of this wonderful season are warmth, moisture and softness. Under the first rays of the sun, snow melts, and Kapha, concentrated in the body, behaves in the same way, it thins and flows.
From the point of view of Ayurveda, this is the reason for frequent colds in the spring. Worsening the situation for Kapha people is the blossoming and aroma of the first spring flowers. This factor is a prerequisite for allergies. It should be noted that for people with Vata and Pitta constitutions, spring herbs usually do not cause discomfort.
Diet and physical activity in the spring
Ayurveda recommends the following herbs and spices at this time of year: black pepper, fennel, zira, chili or cayenne pepper, coriander and, of course, ginger.
Proper nutrition according to Ayurveda at this time of the year is to avoid heavy and fatty food. Sweets, pickles and sour foods are also not recommended, as such food will unbalance kapha.
You don’t need to insist on dairy products, especially in the morning. Also, take your time with ice cream and cold drinks, because they increase Kapha tremendously. Pay attention to products with a bitter and tart taste, spicy. We advise you to use peas (yellow and green), lentils, barley, beans, rice and similar grains. Cheese and milk will not harm.
Cabbage, radish, onion and garlic can be used, but without fanaticism, especially if you are a person with a large proportion of Vata and Pitta doshas. After a meal, you can drink ginger tea with cinnamon, a lassi drink, or just warm water with honey. Use honey more often, it has warming properties. But remember that honey cannot be subjected to heat treatment, so it can harm by clogging the thin channels of the body.
Berries and honey
Springtime is a good time for apple juice or a drink with apples and ginger, pomegranate or a regular berry drink.
At the time when nature wakes up, it is a sin to lie in bed! Get up as early as possible, go for a walk, do active exercise, don’t forget about massages. It will be useful to master yoga for the dosha that predominates in your body. Yoga classes will help you cope with the problems typical of your dosha and support it at any time of the year. Do not forget about warm water treatments – baths or showers.
