Description
Karkidaka Chikitsa, also known as Karkidaka Treatment or Monsoon Treatment in Ayurveda, is a therapeutic regimen rooted in Kerala’s traditional healing practices. It is specifically created to experience the healing powers of nature during the monsoon months, which are considered ideal for Ayurvedic therapies due to the cool and moist climate. This treatment aims to detoxify the body, boost immunity, and restore balance to the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) to promote overall well-being -

Major Benefits
Karkidaka Chikitsa, rooted in ancient Ayurvedic wisdom, offers a comprehensive approach to wellness that extends beyond physical health, encompassing physical rejuvenation, mental clarity, and spiritual well-being. Emphasizing detoxification and purification, this practice utilizes specialized therapies like Panchakarma, which includes Vamana (therapeutic vomiting), Virechana (purgation), and Basti (medicated enemas), to eliminate accumulated toxins (ama). This deep cleansing process purifies the blood, enhances digestion, and optimizes metabolic functions, laying a foundation for vitality. Additionally, Karkidaka Chikitsa significantly boosts immunity and resilience by enhancing white blood cell production, promoting immune cell activity, and stimulating natural defense mechanisms, thus fortifying the body against infections and allergies. The monsoon season's cool and moist climate further aids in rejuvenation, with therapies and herbal formulations replenishing energy, reducing stress, and promoting deep relaxation, resulting in renewed vitality and mental clarity. Balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—is another crucial benefit, particularly addressing imbalances in Pitta and Vata caused by summer's heat, and alleviating issues like inflammation, digestive disturbances, anxiety, and insomnia. This balance fosters overall harmony and improved health. Furthermore, the monsoon's moisture-rich atmosphere enhances skin and hair health, with herbal treatments and dietary recommendations that detoxify skin cells, improve texture, and address disorders like eczema, psoriasis, and acne. These treatments also nourish the scalp, strengthen hair follicles, and prevent hair fall, leading to radiant skin and lustrous, strong hair. -
Extra Information

We stayed at this retreat for a week. . It has been a mind blowing experience that will always be most memorable for long. We went for Ayurvedic rejuvenation but we were pleasantly surprised by the offering that was far beyond our expectations. The property, facilities and the hospitality are 7+ star equivalent. The staff attitude is awesome and everyone is wanting to give their best for the guests. Everything is new, fresh and wholesome at the property. The organic , healthy Kerala cuisine that is being served is simply awesome. One would realise this if one has travelled extensively. The food is very healthy tasty and high quality. No dish is repeated and there is a very healthy mix of protein, carb and fibre. Awesome place for those are foodies (healthy balanced non fatty food). The massage treatment and the doctors are very professional and offer very good advice with effective outcomes. All this, admist lush green forest filled with exotic plants and trees that is serene and filled with the music of birds is most relaxing for the mind . Overall, this place is mind blowing and very good value for money. My best wishes to the management and staff of Softouch 🙏🏼 Keep up the great attitude and spirit !! Rooms: High quality furniture amenities that is the best I have experienced Food & drinks: Wholesome and most healthy local cuisine that in itself a great proposition to stay here for food connoisseurs

We made a detour from our original tour plan and decided to stay at Softouch for three days in June. With not much expectations and guided by some You Tube videos we landed there one early afternoon. What followed was a mesmerising experience which will last a lifetime. Nestled in lush greenery on the bank’s of Chalakudy river, this resort is run by Karadan family giving a personal touch to every service offering. From the moment you are picked up from the airport till the time they personally drop you back; they make sure that you cherish every moment and get more than your money’s worth. The entire set of villas and rooms are designed by Mr Kraradan himself with a unique blend of Kerala antique and contemporary styles. The small pond within the house giving a rainforest feel was amazing. Through the day you can find him immersed in various activities and giving directions to the staff thus ensuring that the this Ayurveda village provides international level services. He regaled us with stories on how this amazing place was set up inspite of the various set backs they faced. For yoga enthusiasts there is morning yoga. The doctors, Anjana and Sreelakshmi personally ensure that the right rejuvenation treatments are provided. The treatment itself was impeccable the best that you can be got. Mrs Karadan ensures the cuisine provided is lip-smacking; and personally supervises the preparation. There are beautiful temples and churches nearby. The Chalakudy market with reasonably priced shops is also where one can look forward to shop before leaving the Ayurvedic Village. Overall we left the place yearning for more and promising to visit again soon. Mrs Karadan dropped us to the airport also giving us packets of local delicacies. We wish them well and hoping to go back soon
