Influence of karkidaka monsoon on health
Over 80% of the diseases that inflict us are waterborne. The rains increase the chances of disease spread through drinking water, drainage water, water in atmospheric air etc. causing fever, infections etc. In addition the humidity in the atmosphere often aggravates several conditions including arthritis, allergies, asthma etc.
What are the goals of Karkidaka chikitsa ?
Detoxify – Over days and months we ingest toxins and pollutants that accumulate in your system. These come from polluted air we breathe that is full of vehicle exhaust and industrial pollution; polluted foods that are grown with chemicals and pesticides and prepared or cooked with additives for taste; polluted water that contain numerous contaminants etc. These toxins accumulate in your body and when it reaches a certain level it gives rise to symptoms like allergies, body pains, swellings, depression and even auto immune disorders. The Karkidaka Chikitsa attempts to mobilize the toxins in your body and eliminate them through channels of cleansing.
Boost Immunity – The Oushada kanji which is prepared with herbs proven to enhance and strengthen the immune system will compliment the detoxification strategies to boost the immunity.
Rejuvenate – The massage therapies will improve circulation and increase oxygen and nutrient level in the tissues to rejuvenate and refresh the body.
Shed the flab – The therapies will also help to shed the flab by breaking down fat deposits and toning the body.
Alleviate current health concerns – An experienced physician can advise ways to address the current ailments and heal them. If you treat and heal your health conditions in the most challenging of times, the chances are that the body will be equipped to deal challenges during less testing times more efficiently and as seen in most cases, rest of the year will be symptom free.
