Kerala is the most popular place in India for Ayurvedic treatment and monsoon season is the best time to go for Ayurveda treatment in Kerala. In monsoon atmosphere remains dust-free and cool, which helps open the pores of the body to the maximum. This makes the body more receptive to herbal oils and other Ayurveda medicines. Kerala states equable climate and the natural abundance of forest with a large variety of herbs and medicinal plants make state best destination for Ayurveda treatments.
