Why do an Ayurvedic cleanse in the fall?

Hi All,

I am experimenting with some video stuff. Since I get a little tired of reading words on a computer, I thought maybe you were too and I’d occasionally supplement with a little video. I’m a bit windblown in this one (which is only about a minute and a half), but manage to spit out why it’s good to cleanse in the Fall, in a nutshell. In case you prefer words (or want to supplement the message on the video), here’s a written nutshell:

Pitta (heat) accumulates in our bodies over the course of the summer and then the changeable, cool (read: cold), breezy (read: gale force winds) Vata (air/ether elements) nature of the fall can rise and “blow on” pitta, causing it to flare up. So it is good to purge pitta out of the body and calm vata. Doing a fall Ayurvedic cleanse can assist with this, allow the body to change gears and reset the good digestion button. (Didn’t know you had one?) Enjoy
