Ayurveda is practised in Kerala in its traditional and authentic form, has been a major attraction for tourists. We are now planning to leverage its healing and curative aspects, along with its wellness system, to woo tourists during the monsoon season. The Malayalam month of “Karkitakam” (roughly July during the monsoon season) is the best time to take ayurvedic treatment because the body absorbs more medical effects of the treatment.
Symptoms of a large number of diseases, like arthritis, nervous system disorders, Parkinson’s, asthma and skin ailment, flare up during the monsoon. But the treatment is also the most effective during this period as the atmosphere becomes dust-free and cool.
From autism to Alzheimer’s, from pregnancy to weight loss, from migraine to diabetes, from sexual disability to slip disc – there is not a single problem that Ayurveda does not have an answer.
