Seasonal Panchakarma

SEASONAL PANCHAKARMA

Although Panchakarma therapies can be administered in any time of the year, but traditionally everyone who wanted to take care of their health and remain fit the Ayurveda Scriptures have suggested which treatments to be taken according to the season. The table also suggests which dosha would be normally aggravated in which season. These treatments are suggested to people with a normal health, and if you have certain disease or any other body condition the treatments would be accordingly suggested by the doctor upon detailed check up.
