sanskrit

During the rainy season (Varsha), the herbs are of low potency and the waters are calm. The earth is full of moisture, and animals with wet bodies and obstructed digestion are affected by the cold winds. These conditions cause an increase in pitta dosha, which can lead to disorders caused by pitta, such as digestive issues. In the autumn (Sharad) season, the rain has receded, the atmosphere becomes dry, and the heat from the sun causes a further increase in pitta dosha, leading to disorders related to excess pitta, such as skin diseases. During the pre-winter (Hemanta), the herbs become potent and strong, and the waters become calm and thick. These herbs are beneficial for treating conditions caused by excess kapha dosha. The body, which was previously wet and cold, becomes dry and warm, and kapha dosha accumulates. In the spring (Vasanta), the sun’s rays cause a partial melting of kapha, leading to its accumulation. This season, the body experiences mild warmth and an increase in kapha dosha, causing disorders related to kapha such as colds and respiratory issues. During the summer (Greeshma), the herbs become dry and extremely light. The intense heat from the sun dries out the body and causes an increase in vata dosha, leading to conditions related to vata dosha such as dryness and joint pain. In the monsoon (Prāvṛṣa), the body, which has been dried out by the summer, becomes moist again. Excessive moisture in the environment leads to an increase in vata dosha, causing conditions related to vata dosha such as arthritis and other wind-related ailments. The text explains how each season affects the doshas and the body's condition, contributing to various health disorders.
