Kapha season is considered to be late winter and spring in Ayurveda, however, it’s best to think of the qualities of the season as this is what determines whether it’s kapha season. It’s when there’s cooler temperatures, the ground is saturated with rain or melting snow and the air is heavy with humidity. Having the understanding and awareness of the qualities which are present in our natural environment and our body/mind can help guide us in our food and lifestyle choices which can in turn prevent imbalances and illness. Some signs of excess kapha dosha are: Colds, coughs, flu, allergies with mucus and congestion Agni mandya (slow digestion) Feeling heavy and sluggish after eating Water retention Weight gain Lethargy and oversleeping Inertia or lack of motivation Slowness in all activities Foggy mind Feeling sad or depressed Withdrawing from social activities. In this episode Colette gives Ayurvedic tips on how to navigate this season to prevent these imbalances and she covers pacifying foods and tastes, best cooking methods, how and when to eat, self-care and mindfulness practices along with emotional and mental health advice. * Click here to learn more about discounted group Digestive Reset Cleanse starting January 31st, 2025 * Visit Colette's website www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com Online consultations & Gift Vouchers Next discounted Group Cleanse starts January 31st, 2025 Private at-home Digestive Reset Cleanse tailored to you Educational programs - Daily Habits for Holistic Health Have questions before you book?
