“Vata season in general is from October through February, starting in most parts of the country when the weather cools off and leaves turn color and fall off the trees and ending with the onset of spring. Vata is associated with a windy, dry, and cold climate. As our external environment changes, it increases Vata in our own internal environment. This is when it is time to change our daily routines and diet so it is in tune with the physical changes in the environment. By living in tune with the natural laws of the season a sense of balance can be maintained and we will be able to build a stronger natural immunity against the bugs that tend to attack during colder weather.” — Maharshi Ayurveda
