With Ayurveda, the seasons and the doshas correspond with each other. There are three seasons each year, each represented by the three Doshas, Vata, Pitta & Kapha. The Vata season is In the fall/winter, when it is cold and dry. Pitta season comes during the summer, when it is hot. Kapha season is during the late winter/early spring when it is cold and wet.
