Kapha and Spring Allergies

Kapha’s qualities are damp, cold, heavy, sticky, jelly-like, blocking and stable. These qualities can naturally accumulate over the winter but are readily felt during the Spring. During the winter kapha is in it's solid state (frozen) and as the weather starts to warm up during the spring it starts to melt (liquid) and then kapha begins to flow and move from its solid-state.

The fluid state of kapha creates respiratory congestion with a damp mucus-like fluid. As the warm weather of Spring takes hold many people will experience sinus congestion, coughing, watery eyes, allergies, and headache. This is a common yet seasonally natural symptom of excess kapha moving out of the body.

Vyoshadi Vatakam

Vyoshadi Vatakam the main herb trikatu balances both kapha and vata dosha, helps expel kapha mucus from the chest area, soothes sore throat, and supports breathing and respiratory health.
