GREESHMA RITUCHARYA
According to ancient scriptures of Ayurveda, the Summer Season is characterized as Greeshma, and Greeshma Ritucharya denotes the recommended routine and lifestyle modifications to be followed to keep the doshas in balance during the summer. During this season, the Kapha dosha decreases due to the heat & dryness and Vata dosha increases consequently, resulting to various health issues like heat strokes, skin issues etc.
