Seasonal Diet

Ayurveda states that one of the five causes of disease (pancha vidha karana) is the effect of the season (rtu) and climate (desha), something that our modern society often sees more as an inconvenience or obstacle rather than as a guide to living well on this earth. We can see that many diseases such as influenza follow a seasonal pattern, such as influenza, gastroenteritis, heart attacks and hayfever.
