In Ayurveda, rtucharya describes the cycle of the seasons. The word comes from the root "rtu" which translates into English from Sanskrit as “cosmic rhythm.” Within the great mandala of the yearly cycle, the Earth completes its orbit around the Sun, bringing cold and heat, dark and light, to our environment, including all creatures and our own bodies.
Spring marks a time of renewal and rebirth for all cycles, offering awakening, warmth, and growth. Kapha predominates during this time, as the forces of earth and water are strongest and exert their influence upon the earth and our bodies. The first signs of spring marks a time of renewal and rebirth for all cycles, offering awakening, warmth, and growth. We can see this process happening in nature as the first signs of spring emerge as death gives way to life: buds bursting from the trees, shoots leaping from the earth, a great rising amid the debris of winter. For nature, renewing herself through dying is the only way she can be reborn.
The process of rebirth can be hard on our bodies as we tend to experience symptoms such as allergies, asthma, sinus infections, colds, and chest infections, leading to mucus-producing cough and excreta as the body attempts to protect itself as the lymph and blood begin to recirculate after the winter thaw.
