What is Karkidaka Chikitsa?

Karkidaka Chikitsa is a traditional Ayurvedic seasonal treatment unique to Kerala, performed during the Malayalam month of Karkidakam (mid-July to mid-August). This monsoon-based therapy is designed to detoxify the body, strengthen immunity, and prepare the body for the seasonal transitions ahead.

During the monsoon, the body becomes naturally receptive to treatments due to changes in climate and reduced physical activity. The cool, humid environment opens the pores and softens bodily tissues, making it the ideal time for internal cleansing and rejuvenation.

Also known as Monsoon Ayurveda Therapy, Karkidaka Chikitsa has been practiced for centuries to maintain balance between mind, body, and nature.
