आदानदुर्बले देहे पक्ता भवति दुर्बलः| स वर्षास्वनिलादीनां दूषणैर्बाध्यते पुनः ||३३||
[Diet and lifestyle guidelines in Varsha ritu (rainy season)] Status of agni in rainy season: In a weak body, during the period of dehydration, agni is also weak, and deteriorates further due to vitiated vata and other dosha during rainy season.
In this season, due to evaporating vapors from the Earth, rainfall and acidic transformation of water, the agni is weakened, thus leading to the further vitiation of vata and other dosha.
[Indications and contra-indications in rainy season] Hence, in rainy season all basic rules regarding diet and lifestyle are advised to balance all three dosha. One should avoid diluted mantha(excess liquid diet) , sleeping during the day, exposure to dew, river water, physical exercise, sun rays and sexual intercourse in this season.
