Abstract

Ayurveda focuses on staying healthy and treating health problems. It also gives tips to prevent diseases and ways to strengthen the immune system. In general, there are three main seasons: winter, summer, and rainy season. But in Ayurveda, six seasons are described: Vasant (spring), Grishma (summer), Varsha (monsoon), Sharad (autumn), Hemant (early winter), and Shishir (late winter). Acharya Sushruta has divided the 12 months of the year into these seasons. There are two parts of the years called as Adankala and Visargakala. Rituthe season, classified by different features expresses different effects on the body. The foods, medicines, and habits that do not harm the body’s channels and keep the mind happy are called Pathya in Ayurveda. The foods, medicines and habits that do harm the body’s channels and mind also are called apathy.
