Nature has consistent influence on health of human beings; the body exerts its constant effort to acclimatize to varying climatic conditions. The concept of Ritucharya in Ayurveda aims to establish harmonious relation between man and his surrounding, Greeshma ritu is the strongest season of Adana kaala, during this season human beings and other animals experience huge range of thermoregulation. Understanding Greeshma ritu climatologically and the mechanism of body’s thermoregulation along with seasonal regimens enable better application of Ritucharya in clinical practice.
