Rutusandhi is the period between two adjacent rutus. Specifically last 7 days of the preceding rutu and the first 7 days of the upcoming rutu. <blockquote>ऋत्वोरन्त्यादिसप्ताहावृतुसन्धिरिति स्मृतः| तत्र पूर्वो विधिस्त्याज्यः सेवनीयोऽपरः क्रमात्||५८||
असात्म्यजा हि रोगाः स्युः सहसा त्यागशीलनात्| (Asht. Hrud. 3.58--59)<ref>Ashtanga Hrudayam ([http://vedotpatti.in/samhita/Vag/ehrudayam/?mod=read&h=asAtmyajA Sutrasthanam Adhyaya 3 Sutra 58-59])</ref></blockquote>It is that period when the climatic conditions of the previous season start changing and the new season starts lying its foundation. Therefore the weather in this period is changing or fluctuating. Due to the changing unstable climate, inner equilibrium of doshas also is affected and hence a person become more vulnerable to develop different diseases. These are counted under the seasonal flu or allergies in western medicine. Ayurveda has advised to adopt to the regime of both the seasons moderately and switch from one to the other gradually in order to prevent the diseases developing out of sudden changes in diet and activities known as 'Asatmyaja rogas'. One can find various references in Brahmanas of Yajnas suggested in Rutusandhi period to maintain health. <ref name=":1">Sharma Priyavrata.

In Gopatha Brahmana there is a sutra which states that, maximum diseases occur in the Rutusandhi period thus, maximum Yajnas are performed during the Rutusandhi period. <ref>Gopatha Brahmana (3/1/19)</ref><blockquote>यद् ऋत्वियाद् असृजत् तद् ऋतूनां ऋतुत्वम् । (जैमिनीय ब्राह्मण् ३/१)</blockquote>In Rutugraha prakarana of Shatapatha Brahmana, different homas for different rtus have been suggested. <ref>Shatapatha Brahmana (4/2/5)</ref> <blockquote>ऋतुसन्धिषु व्याधयः जायन्ते ऋतुसन्धिषु यज्ञाः क्रियन्ते।</blockquote>Greeshma, Varsha and Hemanta have been considered to be main 3 rtus.<ref>Jaiminiya Brahmana (2/360)</ref> In Shatpatha Brahmana, Vasanta, Greeshma and Varsha are said to be Deva Rtus whereas Sharada, Hemanta and Shishira have been said to be Pitru rtus. <ref>Shatapatha Brahmana (2/1/3)</ref>
Rutushtoma Yajan has been said to have potential to revitalize and reset the Rtus to normal as per Jaminiy abrahmana. <ref>Jaiminiya Brahamana (2/211)</ref>
Shroutsutras suggest Yajanas in Vasanta, varsha and Sharada ruts as per the aggravating Doshas in that period as described below,<ref name=":1" />
* Vasanta - Vaishwadeva (Jyotishtoma, agnishtoma/Somayaga) (For Kapha related problems)
* Varsha - Varunapravas (For Vata related problems)
* Sharada - Sakamedha (For Pitta related problems)
Special emphasis has been given on performing YAjnas in Varsha rtu (Rainy season). <ref name=":1" />
