The geography of Kerala is formed in such a way that it provides all the circumstances that are most suited for Ayurveda to thrive. Kerala the lush green terrain is believed to be emerged from the Arabian Sea when the sea parted away. With a coastline on one side and mountains on the other. The mountain ranges of Western Ghats where the 44 rivers originate trap most of the South West Monsoon providing heavy rainfall from June to September. The Western Ghats of Kerala are also blessed with an abundance of a lot of natural Ayurvedic medicinal herbs and shrubs unique to Ayurveda.
The monsoons of Kerala from June to September are believed to be the best time for all Ayurvedic treatments. The sky in Kerala will be clear at this time which benefits from some fresh air.
