The part about adjusting oil weight by season is something I wish I had read two years ago. I kept wondering why my skin felt great in winter with sesame but broke out every spring. Turns out I was never switching the formulation at all.

Curious about the section on Kapha-type skin in spring. Does switching to a lighter oil like mustard actually help draw out the congestion, or is it more about reducing the volume used? My skin sits between Kapha and Pitta and I am not sure where to start.

The point about seasonal formulation really landed for me. I have been doing abhyanga for about a year using the same oil blend through winter and summer alike and noticed my skin gets congested around March. Did not connect that to the oil being too heavy for the transition into warmer weather until now.
