Kapha Season: Ayurvedic Tips to Balance Mind & Body in Early Spring
Cleanse, Invigorate & Uplift Your Energy with Kapha-Balancing Ayurvedic Rituals
In Ayurveda, the transition from late winter to early spring marks Kapha season, governed by the earth and water elements. This period brings qualities of dampness, heaviness, cold, and stagnation, both in nature and within our bodies.
As the snow melts and humidity rises, Kapha dosha tends to accumulate, leading to symptoms like lethargy, mental fog, water retention, allergies, and sluggish digestion. If unaddressed, these imbalances may generate ama (toxins) that weaken immunity and dull vitality.
Signs of Kapha Imbalance During Spring
-
Persistent feelings of heaviness or fatigue
-
Seasonal congestion and allergies
-
Slow or sluggish digestion
-
Water retention and puffiness
-
Low motivation or mild depressive moods
