VARSHARITUCHARYA -MONSOON REGIMEN
Mid-July to mid-September
In rainy season (Varsha Ritu) Humors (Doshas) gets aggravated. The vitiation of Doshas will weaken the digestive fire (Jatharagni) and will lead to various diseases. It is required to take the necessary measures to mitigate imbalanced Doshas and improve the digestive activity. Ayurveda recommends Panchakarma therapies to clean up the body and bring the Dosha balance.
Food recommendations in Varsha Ritu:
One should use old grains, meat juices processed with spices, meat of animals of desert like lands, soup of pulses, wine prepared from grapes and fermented decoctions, which are old and medicated, rain water or water from deep wells (well boiled) for drinking.
If there is no sunlight, it is preferable to have foods predominantly sour, salty, unctuous and dry, mixed with honey (for easy digestion).
It is better to avoid food that causes Vata and Pitta imbalance such as food having bitter, hot and astringent tastes, potato, food items that are heavy to digest, frozen food stuff, ice creams, oily food stuff etc.
Moving about on foot, river water, sleeping during daytime, exertion and exposure to sun are contraindicated during this season.

Karkidaka Chikitsa

The month of Karkidakam (Cancer), falls in the Varsha Ritu (monsoon season), one among the six Ritus (six seasons). Varsha Ritu extends from mid-July to mid-September.

In Cancer, the Sun enters the Dakshinayana from Uttarayana, or transits from Adana period to Visarga period. In the summer season, due to the heat, the Dhatus get dried up, but the Vata Dosha does not get aggravated due to the impact of excess heat.

(आदानं च तदाधत्ते नृणां प्रतिदिनं बलम् |
विसर्गः तु सौम्यः). (Ashtanga Hridayam)

As a result of the sudden fall of temperature due to rains, Humors (Doshas), especially the Vata (degenerative factor) gets aggravated. The vitiation of Doshas will lead to diseases and further weaken the digestive fire that is already weakened in summer (Greeshma).
It is necessary to mitigate imbalanced Doshas in the body. Measures to improve digestive activity must be done. One should undergo Panchakarma therapies to mitigate the Doshas and thereby gaining the fine balance of Doshas in the body. Panchakarma therapies are the five types of purificatory procedures in Ayurveda, carried out for cleaning the body. Therefore, in order to overcome fatigue and damage caused to the body and bring the body to an energetic state for the next year, body cleansing (Shudhikriyas ie. Detoxification) is beneficial in this month. This can be done by proper panchakarma.
Panchakarma is a set of cleansing treatments practised for expelling vitiated dosha out from the human body.
Panchakarmas are
1.VASTI 2. VIRECHANAM 3. VAMANAM 4. NASYAM 5.RAKTAMOKSHAM
After thorough examination of patient and disease condition appropriate treatment among these will be decided and applied.
By doing the appropriate karma out of the five, body cleansing along with restoration of equilibrium of three doshas (Vata-Pitta-Kapha) can be attained.
