Kerala has long been a center of
Ayurvedic wisdom, offering a rich
array of traditional therapies. Among
these, Karkidaka Chikitsa stands out as
a significant practice.
During the monsoon season, the
abrupt transition from intense
summer heat to heavy rains leads to
an increase in infectious diseases and
worsens existing health conditions.
According to Ayurveda, this period is
marked by the lowest ‘Sareera Bala’
(innate immunity) and an imbalance in
the Tridoshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha).
