Dr. Akhil Shine SS

Abstract


Rithucharya is one of the important concepts explained in Ayurveda. It deals with comprehensive management of diet pattern, behavior and lifestyle modification in relation to change in the seasons. In short, Ritucharya is the seasonal regimen, rules and regulation to what to do and what not during season and seasonal changes. If one follow the regimens prescribed under each and every rithu such person is never inflicted with seasonal diseases or disorders and he always remains as a healthy person. As we know that there are two Ayana or Solstices are there in one year or we can say that Sun changes its position twice every year. These changes are known as Uttarayana i.e. summer Solstice and Dakshinayana i.e. winter solstice. Meteorology is the study of weather and climate. The weather has found to have a profound effect on human health and well beings.
