Ayurveda among other things provides swift relief in cases of rheumatic diseases such as arthrosis (signs of overstrain in spine and joints), arthritis, muscle tenseness, restriction of movement, disturbances of the vegetative nervous system such as disturbed sleep, nervousness, exhaustion, tiredness, excitability or irritability, migraine and other forms of headache, heart ailments connected to nervousness,high blood pressure, depression, chronic inflammation such as paranasal sinus inflammation, bronchitis, inflammation of the bladder, susceptibility to colds, skin deseases like eczema, psoriasis, skin allergy, asthma,stomach or intestinal disorders, overweight or nicotine misuse.

June, July and August months are the ideal months for ayurvedic treatment as the pores of the skin permits maximum absorption of ayurvedic medicine and oils. Monsoon season is the best period for ayurvedic treatment. Massage treatment and Rasayana chikilsa are contributions of Kerala. The massage treatment promotes better circulation of blood in the system and it removes causes of fatigue. Another form of monsoon treatment is Rasayana chikilsa - the Ayurvedic treatment for preventing and curing feebleness of the body.
