Karkkidaka Chikitsa, also known as Karkidaka Treatment or Therapy, is a traditional Ayurvedic practice primarily observed in the Indian state of Kerala. It is rooted in the belief that the month of Karkidakam (July-August in the Malayalam calendar) is a time when the body's vitality is at its lowest due to the rainy season and accompanying changes in climate.

During Karkidaka Chikitsa, special attention is given to detoxification, rejuvenation, and strengthening of the body and mind. The treatment typically involves a regimen of herbal therapies, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle modifications aimed at enhancing immunity, revitalizing organs, and promoting overall well-being. It often includes practices such as Panchakarma (a detoxification process), herbal oil massages (like Abhyanga), medicinal baths, and consuming specific herbal preparations.

People undergoing Karkidaka Chikitsa usually follow a prescribed diet that excludes heavy or spicy foods and emphasizes easily digestible, nutritious meals. This period is also seen as an opportunity for introspection and spiritual renewal, often accompanied by practices such as meditation and yoga to complement the physical treatments.

Overall, Karkidaka Chikitsa is considered a preventive and therapeutic measure in Ayurveda, aiming to restore balance and vitality to the body after the taxing monsoon season. It reflects the holistic approach of Ayurveda towards health maintenance by harmonizing the body, mind, and spirit..
