Abstract

ABSTRACT Ayurveda emphasizes Swasthasya Swasthya Rakshanam—preserving the health of the healthy—through the disciplined observance of Dinacharya (daily regimen) and Ritucharya (seasonal regimen)1. The solar year is divided into two solstitial periods: Uttarayana (Northern Solstice, also called Adana Kala or the "depletion phase") and Dakshinayana (Southern Solstice, Visarga Kala or the "nourishment phase")2. During Adana Kala, the sun and wind become progressively more intense, systematically depleting the body's strength, moisture, and immune resilience3. To provide a detailed, clinically applicable exposition of dietary (Ahara) and lifestyle (Vihara) protocols for the three Ritus of Adana Kala—Shishira (late winter), Vasanta (spring), and Grishma (summer)—integrating classical Ayurvedic principles with contemporary scientific evidence. Each of the three Ritus presents distinct physiological challenges: Shishira demands unctuous, strengthening foods to counter Ruksha (dryness) and Vata; Vasanta requires light, Kapha-reducing regimens to prevent allergic and congestive disorders; Grishma necessitates cooling, hydrating, and easily digestible intake to protect the weakened Agni (digestive fire) and prevent Pitta and Vata aggravation.
