Message of Spring
The focus of food and drink is special – the message of the spring season
Spring season starts from Friday, February 18, 2022.

Rituraj spring is the juncture of cold and heat. In this, the accumulated phlegm of the winter season starts melting due to the scorched rays of the sun, due to which the gastritis slows down and many diseases like cold-cough, vomiting-diarrhoea etc. Therefore, special care should be taken about diet during this time.
Diet: In this season, do not consume late-digesting, cold foods, sleeping during the day, aliphatic ie, made in ghee-oil and acid and juicy substances because all these are phlegm enhancers. (Ashtangaheart 3.26)
