The Importance of Karkidaka Chikitsa – From Ayushkamiya Ayurveda
Karkidakam, the last month of the Malayalam calendar, is considered a spiritually and physically significant period in Kerala. During this monsoon season, the climate becomes humid, and the body’s immunity tends to weaken. Ayurveda recommends a special seasonal detox and rejuvenation therapy during this time – known as Karkidaka Chikitsa.

Why Karkidakam is Special?
The monsoon season brings about changes in both the environment and the human body. Digestive power decreases, and the body accumulates toxins due to unhealthy food and erratic lifestyle. Mental health can also be affected due to reduced sunlight and increased stress.
That’s why Ayurveda considers Karkidakam the ideal time for internal cleansing and healing.
