In the season of Vasant (वसंत) or spring, ‘Kapha’ accumulated in the earlier season (Shishir) is liquified by the heat of the sun which results in diminished Agni (digestive activity). Diseases with ‘Kapha’ dominance are common in this season.
In this season, digestive activity is diminished as such hence easily digestible food with astringent, bitter and pungent properties should preferably be consumed. It would help reducing the increased Kapha and normalising the Agni (Digestive activity).
Consumption of barley, honey, roasted meat, mango juice is advisable.
