After keen observation of external climatic conditions in a particular season (Rtu) and their reflections in the Purusha, Ayurvedic scholars found a close association between external environments and Body's internal environment. It is believed and experienced that, for every change in external conditions, Doshas and other body elements like Agni, Dhatu get affected. change in their normal state creates temporary imbalances which leave body vulnerable for attack by various diseases. Thus, if one wishes to maintain health in spite of any change in external environment, one must consciously understand the changing weather and practice specific diet and lifestyle interventions proposed by Ayurveda in order to nullify the effects reflected in body.
