Springtime is considered an ideal time for cleansing and rejuvenation.
There are several factors that contribute to the interconnectedness between the external and internal environments rooted in the principles of Ayurvedic Wisdom; below are a few.
Spring is a transition from the cold and dormant winter (depending on where you live) to renewal and growth. Nature is awakening; trees bud, flowers bloom, and the earth awaken. The body tends to accumulate excess moisture and fats to stay warm for winter, and the warmer temperatures spring brings to the accumulated winter buildup starts to melt. The liver plays a crucial role in detoxification, and spring is a supportive time for liver function.
Winter increases the water and the earth elements (Kapha dosha) externally and internally in our bodies. Winter’s attributes include heaviness, cold, and dampness, which can lead to the accumulation of toxins (ama) in the body. Ayurvedic Wisdom helps the body eliminate these accumulated toxins, preventing them from causing imbalances.
Spring encourages shifting from heavier, winter-appropriate foods to lighter, more easily digestible options. Ayurvedic cleanses during this time often focus on fresh fruits, pungent leafy greens, vegetables, and lighter grains, aligning with the seasonal shift.
Spring is considered a time of renewal and growth. Ayurvedic cleansing rituals aim to support this natural process by eliminating stagnation, rejuvenating tissues, and promoting overall well-being.
