Spring Survival

For most, spring is a time of joy and relief.  The days are longer and brighter, the dull winter feeling has passed.  It's a time for growth, cleansing and renewal.  However, many people, particularly those with Kapha tendencies, will experience less desirable side effects due to the change in climate.  The added warmth and moisture in the air can wreak havoc on our respiratory tract and digestive system.  Just as the snow begins to melt, so does excess Kapha. Hay fever, sinus congestion, excess mucus and sluggish digestion are a few of the symptoms.  We need to assist our bodies through this process of eliminating excess liquid by modifying our diet.  Check out next week's blog to find out how.
