Balancing the Air Element During Fall |
|
|
by Venkat and Christine Machiraju |
|

According to the ancient East Indian science of Ayurveda, the entire universe is comprised of five elements. earth, water, fire, air and ether.
Each season is governed by one of theses elements and our bodies are thus affected by the dominating seasonal element. The ancient science of Ayurveda outlines food, color therapy, sound therapy and holistic treatments to be undergone in each season to ensure perfect health.
Fall is a season that is ruled by Vata-or the air element. The qualities of Vata are:
Dry
Cold
Light
Subtle
Rough
Mobile
During this time it is important to eat foods and take part in activities that counter these qualities to ensure perfect health.When Vata goes out of balance sickness can occur. These sicknesses may be related to the joints-arthritis or the colon-constipation or the nerves-dizziness or the head allergies, headaches, earaches.
In order to avoid these types of ailments in the fall it is important to eat foods that counter Vata. Some of these foods would include:
Cooked vegetables-green beans, potatoes, beets, asparagus, and carrots.
Cooked grains that are heavy in nature help to counter the light quality of vata. These include wheat, buckwheat, quinoa and rice.
Fruits that are juicy, such as apples, grapes, melons.
Food can be a little oilier at this time to counter the dry quality of vata that brings joint pain. The best o8ils to use are ghee and sesame oil. Eating a lot of soups is also good at this time.
The best legume to eat at this time is mung.
The best meats to eat during this time are chicken and turkey.
It is also very important during the fall to massage the body with sesame oil. During our youth we may not notice the effects of vata but as we age our bones will start to hurt during the fall. If we do regular oil massage all our lives arthritis will not affect us when we get older. All spices can be used during the fall - cumin, coriander and dill are especially good.
The best tastes to eat during fall are sweet, salty and sour.
Kichadi
One cup each rice and mung beans
1 tsp cumin, peppercorns (Cumin for urinary tract and glands. Peppercorns for liver and digestive system)
A pinch of hing (found in Indian spice shops) blood purifier
A handful of chopped coriander leaves (cleanses toxins)
1tsp of salt
1 tsp turmeric (antiseptic-it makes things sacred)
A good way to measure the required water for rice is to place the fingers on top of the rice and fill water until it touches the second knuckle.
Put everything into the put and boil.
Remember to rinse rice and lentils together to ensure that all dust ha been removed.
Rasam
Three cups of water
Juice of two lemons or a piece of tamarind
1 tsp of unrefined sugar
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp turmeric
1pinch cumin, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, curry leaves
Chili pepper powder or black pepper corns
Boil all of the ingredients on the stove. Tamarind pate can be used in place of lemon. Vegetables can be added to this soup, as can mung lentils. This soup helps to cleanse the body and if vegetables are added it is a meal in itself.
