But those who suffer from chronic ailments that have the tendency to aggravate during the monsoons such as arthritis, spondylitis, muscular pain, back pain, depression and sleep disorders. Treatments for specific ailments are conducted only after consultation and analysing the severity of the disease. Karkidaka Chikitsa begins with the understanding that the monsoon season affects the three doshas – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha differently. Throughout the summer season, we might be exposed to different types of toxins which get accumulated in our body which gets piqued by the rains. It results in bringing about an excess of Vata or Vata disorder in our body which inturn leads to various other diseases. Monsoons arrive as an end to an extremely hot summer, raining down on earth which leads to an increased acidity in food resulting in Pitta dosha. It leads to fever, digestive problems, inflammation and acidity. The chances of water and food getting contaminated are high during the monsoon season which can amplify the Kapha dosha. It results in cough, cold, allergic reactions and skin diseases.
