Monsoon - The right time for Ayurvedic Detox (Panchakarma)

Rains soften the intensity of regular life. The seasonal downpour brings with it respite from the hot and humid summer. Ayurveda considers this period to cause Vata imbalance, which weakens the digestive fire and causes body aches.

Panchakarma helps in all of these aspects by working on your digestive fire and strengthening your immunity. According to Ayurveda, monsoon is considered to be one of the best times to undergo detoxification. During this season, the atmosphere tends to be mild, which makes it the ideal season for Panchakarma therapies. The body’s pores open up and it becomes more receptive to healing and the process of getting rid of toxins.

What is Panchakarma?

Panchakarma (Panch meaning five, and Karma meaning action), is an Ayurvedic rejuvenation therapy which deeply cleanses and detoxifies the body without causing any imbalance to the tissues. Not only does this therapy help in purifying the body and the mind, but it also enhances bodily resistance to infections and facilitates proper functioning of the body parts.

The benefits of Panchakarma:

The therapy helps in increasing the body’s immunity power by flushing out toxins from the body and restoring the body’s vitality. It increases the blood circulation in the body and hence, aids in strengthening the body’s ability to fight off various diseases.
