The time taken by the earth to
revolve around the sun is named as Perumpozhuthu ,it is divided into six seasons namely Kaar kaalam, Kulir kaalam, Munpani kaalam, Pinpani kaalam, Ilavenil kaalam, Mudhuvenil kaalam. We were experincing Kar kaalam for the past few months and from tomorrow Aippasi 1 (October 17 ) we are stepping into Kulir kaalam which is extends from Aippasi to Karthigai ( Mid October to Mid
December).This transition period in seasons causes various changes in our body and causes severe illness. In order to prevent the occurance of disease and for a healthy living ,siddha system has proposed certain modification in diet and lifestyle.
Transition period:
- The seasonal conduct from one season to another is termed as transition period ,a period of 14 days (i. e , last 7 days of the ongoing season and and the first seven days of the next season).
- The seasonal conduct of the ongoing season should be stopped and the regimen of the next season should be gradually initiated during this transition period so as to help your body adapt to seasonal changes.
