Karkidaka Chikitsa: What is it?
Karkidaka Chikitsa is an ancient Ayurvedic healing method done during the Malayalam month of Karkidakam (July–August). This period is thought to be when the body is conditioned for perfect internal cleansing and nourishment.
The treatment typically includes:
- Herbal oil treatments
- Detoxification routines
