In the ancient Ayurvedic texts the monsoon season (Varsha Ritu) is regarded as a unique period. The Kapha Dosha (Cold Dosha) becomes more active during this period, while the Vayu Dosha (Vata Dosha) decreases. Panchakarma and other detox treatments work well because they manage the body's toxins (Ama).
The monsoon season's high humidity and coolness guarantee that medicated oils, hot washes and steam are deeply absorbed by the body. This aids in the body's removal of toxins. In a similar vein, it is ideal to participate in Ayurvedic detox programs during this time to restore the body's self-balance and soothe the mind because it is a time when the body and mind can adjust to the doshas.
