Karkidaka Chikitsa

The month of Karkidakam (as per Malayalam calendar) is considered as the ideal time for Ayurveda treatments to re-energize body cells and rejuvenate yourself. The month falls from mid-July to mid-August and witnesses heavy monsoon rains. The body can imbibe the goodness of ayurvedic therapeutic treatments during the period. Ayurveda has identified the benefits of Karkidaka Chikitsa and the same is mentioned in the thousands of years old Ayurvedic scriptures.

On the other hand, the health of individuals will be lower in monsoon than in the other seasons. Consequently, s/he will be susceptible to various illnesses and diseases. Therefore, undergoing Ayurveda Karkidaka Chikitsa in Kerala will aid in enhancing the immune strength of the person.
