As summer (Pitta) fades to fall/winter (Vata) we feel in nature and in our bodies this accumulation of heat as it is fanned by the winds of change. We all feel fiery! because the Pitta 'qualities' of heat and sharpness are exiting the body as the Vata season arrives to push Pitta out of the system. The presence of these Pitta qualities in the environment (wildfires, dry winds) can influence the same qualities in our bodies - especially for people who have more fire and water elements in their bodies. You may be noticing an accumulated or stagnated Pitta in your constitution in the form of heat in the body (sore throats, inflammation on the skin or in the digestive system) or maybe the dry winds of Vata are causing skin and intestinal dryness.
What can you do to avoid these seasonal imbalances? Join my seasonal cleanse and start now by enjoying the abundance of food that nature provides us this time of year. This cleanse is about resetting the system to handle the heavier foods of fall/winter so you are nourishing and building, rather than depleting the system. This a perfect time of year for a cleanse to rebuild agni (digestion), remove excess pitta and ama (toxins) from the system, and balance vata. I offer a supportive fall cleanse (you decide how long) with herbs, seasonal grocery list and recipes, mono-diet ingredients and spices, along with a daily yoga and pranayama regime to support a healthy immune system. To schedule a cleanse now go to Services on this website.
