Fall And Your Health

A few days ago, I shared with you an article I found on Chopra center detailing how fall is a great time for cleansing and clearing.  Our Ayurvedic Doctor, Manas Kshirsagar, coincidentally sent me this article on Mapi echoing the same sentiment about fall and cleansing.  Both articles are informative and have a slightly different focus.  The article below from Mapi even lists spices, herbs, and herbal supplements that are ideal for fall.

Here's an excerpt;

As the dog days of summer wind down and a hint of crisp fall weather cools the night air, you might find yourself suddenly looking forward to going back to school or picking up the pace at work after a lazier summer.

The seasons affect us. A saying in Maharishi Ayurveda, "As is the macrocosm, so is the microcosm," captures an important principle: the outer environment affects our inner state of mind and body. When the weather is hot and humid during Pitta season (July-October), those Pitta qualities of heat build in the body as well. When the air is cool and dry in Vata season (November-February), we experience more of those qualities inside us.
