According to Ayurveda philosophy, the Malayalam month of “Karkidaka,” the final month of the traditional Malayalam calendar (usually falling in July and August), is characterized by monsoon rains and a prevalence of common diseases. The frequent rains cause the climate to shift abruptly to humid and cool, leading to temperature variations that heavily disrupt the Vata dosha, resulting in numerous health issues, especially those linked to imbalanced Vata.
