1. \u00a0It addresses the\u00a0root causes of diseases.<\/p>\n

Best Time For Kerala Ayurveda Treatment<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe best time to opt for an Kerala Ayurveda treatment is without doubt the monsoon season, especially the month of Karkidakam<\/a>.

The atmosphere during this season is cool, moist and dust free which opens up the body\u2019s pores, making it absorb the oils easily.<\/p>\nTypes of Kerala Ayurveda Treatments<\/strong><\/h2>\nAyurvedic treatments can be classified into two broad categories:<\/p>\n
\n- Preventive treatment \u2013 taking preventive measures to prevent diseases.<\/li>\n
