A course of massages using an infusion of oils. The burst of monsoon is the correct time to start. This is the period when the body and mind heal the best. After the rigours of summer the body is run down and exhausted. But then the rains come and offer, each year, the chance of rebirth. They nourish and sustain. Suddenly the body has the potential for strength and growth. As it is said, this knowledge is as old as India. Monsoon is important for Ayurveda because it brings in equitable temperature. Neither too hot nor too cold.
