While some of us celebrate the change of season, unfortunately, an estimated 13 million people in the UK, a whopping 81 million people in the US, and 40% of the European population dread the blossoming trees because of respiratory disorders, seasonal allergens, and high pollen counts. I used to be part of those statistics, but not anymore!

Being proactive is a gamechanger in these modern times to help stay happy and healthy during the change of season from summer’s end to early Autumn, (Ritu Sandhi in Sanskrit).

During these delicate 2 weeks, it is advisable to gradually discontinue Summer’s Ritucharya or seasonal regime and gradually begin with Autumnal detoxification guidelines and lifestyle routines in order to avoid falling ill with the fluctuations in weather, doshas and digestive fire, maintain the physiology’s homeostatic balance, and cleanse any accumulated ama, a sticky toxin created by undigested food, which may have accumulated and clogged bodily tissues and channels.
