Samprapti: The Six Stages of Disease According to Ayurveda

Have you ever wondered why Ayurveda is so focused on seasonal transitions, digestion and prevention?  It all ties into the Ayurvedic perspective of disease and how it manifests in the body.

In this episode I delve into the Ayurvedic principles of maintaining health and preventing disease through seasonal transitions. With the world in a state of flux, grounding and resilience become paramount. 

I discuss the concept of Samprapti, or the birth of disease, explaining the six stages from accumulation to differentiation. 

I highlight the importance of daily practices to balance doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—especially during seasonal changes, and offer practical tips for staying in tune with your body's needs. 

Tune in for an exploration of how to listen to your body's intelligence, prevent disease, and make small yet impactful steps towards a healthier life.
