Why Karkidaka Chikitsa ?

Best absorption window

High humidity opens skin pores, allowing medicated oils to penetrate deeper for faster healing

Deep detox & dosha balance

Panchakarma techniques loosen and expel accumulated “ama” (toxins), restoring metabolic fire

Immunity surge

Clinical Ayurveda centres report fewer monsoon ailments and stronger respiratory health after the regimen
