Karkidaka Chikitsa

According to ancient scriptures, the month of Kerkida (Monsoon), the last month of the traditional malayalam calendar, is considered to be the best time for the revitalization and rejuvenation of both the mind and the body. The Karkidaka Masam, which falls around July and August, usually marks the onset of the rainy season.
During this period, our atmosphere is packed with humidity and the rainwater washes away the existing impurity from the atmosphere. This time is considered ideal for treating our body with ayurveda to flush out the impurities and cleanse and restore the balance of our body.

Why Karkidaka Chikitsa

It is strongly believed that the rates of illness in humans are mostly noted around the Karkidakam period. This is mainly due to the disruptions of balance in our vatha, pitta, kapha and tridoshas caused by the heavy rains in the monsoon season. This is also the time period where our body has higher chances of being affected by diseases like arthritis, allergies and digestive and respiratory diseases. The silver lining is that ayurveda considers Karkidakam month as the most favourable time of the year for taking treatments and using medicines for progress in health.

According to our ayurvedic scriptures, the best approach to heal the body and the mind during this karkidakam month is by bringing balance to the Tridoshas in our body and at the sametime, push out harmful toxins.

This is the most efficient and organic way to reset the balance of the body, prevent diseases and boost longevity and quality of life.

The Benefits of Karkidaka Chikitsa

According to Ayurveda, the change in our lifestyle, our food habits, lack of exercise, exposure to polluted air and various chemicals are the major reasons for many of our underlying diseases and it results in an imbalance of our natural body.
