According to the ancient texts of Ayurveda, “All diseases begin at the junctions of the seasons.” When we push against the essence of each season–going to bed late in the winter, eating sweet, heavy foods in the spring, or neglecting our skincare in the summer–we fall out of sync with nature and optimal health.

–A dosha quiz to assess your mind-body constitution
–A practical guide to the seasons explaining their relationship to each dosha
