by Kate Lewin September 06, 2016

As summer fades and autumn steps in to take its place, colds and flus become commonplace. For many people getting sick is even expected! A long summer spent out in the sun, perhaps combined with alcohol consumption, an irregular schedule and disturbed sleep from traveling and late night social events can quickly create a build-up of ama in the system and weaken Agni while unbalancing the Doshas.
