The word Ritucharrya is made of two words-ritu means season’s charya means do’s and don’ts (regimen). This important chapter discusses in detail regarding different seasons and the regimen to be followed.

Uttarayan

  • This is the main event occurring mid January to mid July now shishir, vasanta and girishma.
  • Uttarayan is ascent of the sun towards north. The sun is becoming powerful day by day and it takes away strength of human being.
  • Now the Rutu is Vasant.

Vasant

  • Vasant Rutu is considered from mid march to mid may.
  • It is season of flowering and origin of new leaves.
  • Ayurveda divides the day to day regime in two parts diet (Ahar) and behavior (vihar). Ahar
  • Kapha which is undergone in shishir (cold season) becomes liquefied by the heat of the sun in vasanta (spring). It diminishes the digestive fire (Agni).
  • So food should also be selected to mitigate kapha I.e.

easily digestable, low calaroie and dry (fat free) are preferred. • Low calorie -pulses = mugda yusha Jayashree P. Ritucharrya is the 3rd Chapter of Ashtang Hrudyam. J Nat Ayurvedic Med 2018, 2(3): 000128.
