Kerala is all set for the 'Monsoon magic' of Ayurveda. God's own country is welcoming people around the globe for rejuvenation programs based on the traditional texts of Ayurveda.
These texts suggest that Monsoon is the best time to revitalize the body. During this season, pores of the skin permit maximum absorption of Ayurvedic medicines and oils.

From the first week of June, when Monsoon normally hits the region, Kerala starts receiving perpendicular sunrays. This unique situation with sun on one side and rain on the other side is, no doubt, the most ideal for Ayurvedic therapy.
Another specialty during the Monsoon in Kerala is a special porridge called Karkkidaka Kanji. This special food consumed during the Karkkidakam month (July-August) of Malayalam calendar, it supplements nutrients and also has medicinal effect. It is considered to have ability to control factors viewed toxic by Ayurveda. This may be due to the ingredients with medicinal values. Karkkidaka Kanji consists of cereals and medicinal plants.Even in this age of modern medicine, Kerala attracts people from all over the world towards the Indian system of medicine .
