The adhyaaya=chapter on *Doshopakramaneeya* is well-known to many. It is described in the 13th chapter of the Sutrasthana of Ashtanga Hridaya... Its origin is in the Charaka Vimana, where its prose is converted into verse in Ashtanga Hridaya.

However, there is one specific thing that is absent in both Charaka and Ashtanga Hridaya, and that is included under *Doshopakramaneeya* in the 21st chapter of the Ashtanga Sangraha Sutrasthana, and that is...

✨ The Upakrama of Kapha is described as being like the Vasanta rutu... meaning, since the prakopa=aggravation of Kapha occurs during the Vasanta rutu=Spring season, it is natural and easily understandable that the upakrama=process of Kapha would resemble the Vasanta rutu=Spring season.

1️⃣

However, even though Vata’s prakopa=aggravation occurs in the varsha rutu= Monsoon season, the upakrma=process of Vata is described as being similar to Hemanta rutu=season.

2️⃣

And though Pitta’s prakopa=aggravation occurs in the Sharad rutu=season, its upakrama=process is described as similar to the Greeshma Rutu = Summer season.

3️⃣

In reality, Greeshma = Summer is a season of ushna teekshna = intense heat, so it should logically be the season for Pitta prakopa = aggravation... because even the prior season = vasant rutu already brings some heat ushna, and after that, the varsha rutu = Monsoon season, being jala pradhana = water-dominated 🌧️, will definitely shamana = calm down the agni🔥pradhana fiery Pitta!

4️⃣

Similarly, the Hemanta (and Shishira) season is rooksha sheeta = cold and dry, so it is certainly possible for Vata to prakopa = aggravate in that season, and then the arrival of the vasanta rutu = Spring season, which brings ushnata = warmth, will naturally shamana = pacify the Vata.

5️⃣

Thus, the relationships between the Doshas, their prakopa = aggravation, prashama = pacification, and the seasons described in Ayurveda deserve a *"reconsideration and re-evaluation"*... based on the practical, innovative, and unique context provided in the Ashtanga Sangraha, and also based on the experiences of each vaidya=physician regarding the patients who arrive during different seasons throughout the year.
