== ग्रीष्मे पंचकर्माणि॥ Panchakarmas done in Greeshma Rtu ==
Greeshma is not considered as the Shodhana rtu. Ii means that, this is the rtu when no Dosha aggravates naturally due to the seasonal cycle. Therefore, Shodhana or Panchakarma is not generally advised in this rtu. It is the time when the balam or strength of the individuals is very low due to heat, dryness and dehydration. Hence generally no panchakarma is done in this season for a healthy individual as a part of seasonal detox. However, if a medical condition of a patient demands it, relevant panchakarmas as treatment for that disorder can always be conducted by a Vaidya.
