Abstract

Ayurveda outlines various dietary rules and seasonal regimens to help the body adapt to changing environments. Its fundamental principle is "Swasthyasya Swasthya Rakshanam, Aturasya Vikara Prashamana," meaning the preservation of health in the healthy and the treatment of illness in the diseased. To support this, the concept of Rutucharya is described in detailed in classical Ayurvedic texts. Rutucharya describes the various regimens to follow in different seasons and In modern lifestyles, the consumption of Takra has become widespread due to its perceived benefits for gut health. However, Takra possesses specific properties that must be understood and considered before consumption. This study explores the qualities of Takra and its appropriate use during Grishma Rutucharya (the summer seasonal regimen).
