Melbourne experienced an erratic autumn with very hot days and smatterings of cold, wet and windy days. This weather may have led to aggravations of Pitta and Vata in your body and we may have experienced everything from migraines, dizziness, inflammation and fatigue on the hot days and dry skin, dry lips and eyes, cracking joints, flare-ups of eczema, dry coughs and bloating and constipation in the peak of Autumn, leading to more colds, phlegm, runny noses, headaches, fatigues, lethargy and weight gain as we get closer to winter.
