Spring (Kapha Season: March–June)
Spring marks the natural shift from winter’s grounding foods to lighter, cleansing meals that support digestion, clear heaviness, and bring the body back into balance.

Imagine a vibrant, golden-hued dressing gleaming in a delicate bowl. The Tulsi Lemon dressing, with its smooth texture and mingled flavors, promises a burst of freshness.
This blend is simple, accessible, and effective. It doesn’t force the body to detox; it supports the organs that naturally detoxify—the digestive tract, liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system—so they can do their job with more ease.
A balanced, tri‑dosha blend that supports digestion, metabolism, and steady energy without overstimulating the system.
Ajwain and fennel seeds are two of Ayurveda’s most trusted post‑meal digestive allies. When brewed as a warm tea, they work together to kindle agni, reduce gas, ease constipation, and support the downward movement of apana vata, the subdosha responsible for elimination.
Nature’s cue: Earth and water dominate. The body is emerging from winter’s heaviness and needs lightness, stimulation, and detoxification. Blood becomes thick with fat from winter. Just as the ground thaws and the rivers begin to flow again so does our blood.
Ayurvedic focus: Reduce Kapha. Favor foods that are light, dry, warm, and bitter to clear mucus, stagnation, and sluggish digestion. Now is the time for heat (pungent) and fermented foods like kombucha or sauerkraut.
