According to Ayurveda, Vata dosha governs winter, as it is cold, dry and dark, whereas spring season, which starts wet and cold in March ends up wet and hot in June, is characterized by kapha dosha. Ayurveda holds the transition between the seasons highly critical for health, as during Vata season or winters we are tend to consume foods which are heavy, sweet, dense and oily which are not at all favorable for kapha season or spring. So to stay healthy, balanced and dry during the spring season.
