A plain explanation of what Ayurveda actually is, plus a dosha quiz you take twice. Once for your lifelong baseline and once for the last three months. The gap between the two is your imbalance, and it is more useful than the label.
Cold morning stiffness follows the same shape for most people: bad on waking, better once moving, worse again as evening cools. Ayurveda reads that pattern through vata, the dry, cold, mobile quality autumn air adds to joints that are already stiff, and answers it with a daily routine of warmth, movement and oil rather than a single remedy.
Every autumn the same complaints arrive in the same order: dry lips, static hair, a mind that will not settle at night. This is what Ayurveda's vata dosha actually predicts about the season, and the small daily routine and herb changes it suggests first, ashwagandha among them.
Ayurveda has never worked from a four season year. Ritucharya divides the calendar into six, each with its own dosha shift and its own food and routine. Here is what that framework actually looks like when you try to run it against a Northern California year instead of a North Indian one.
