YAMADAMSHTRA:
The period during last eight days of the month of Vrischika and the first 8 days of the monthh of
Dhanu (approximately from the 8th of December to the 23rd of December of every year) is called
Yamadamshtra. This period is characterised by the reduced digestive power in the bodies of all
living beings. Ayurveda instructs that every individual restricts his/ her diet to light and easily
digestible food during this period, as indigestion/ metabolic deficit happening during this period is
very difficult to be cured.
the Tridosha changes during the other seasons can be optimised by the use of those selected
foods and drinks which would alleviate the accentuated( above optimum status) ones, and
accentuates the alleviated(subnormal) levels.
