The cold qualities that build in the body during winter begin to thaw out, just like nature, as we transition into spring, increasing the quantity of water in the body. This expresses itself in the body as sinus congestion, seasonal allergies, skin rashes, and lethargy.

Labor Day marks the transition from summer into fall. Even though it is not the official day that begins on the fall equinox, there is a subtle shift during this time of year. In Ayurveda, we honor these times of transition known as the period of Ritusandhi.
