Highlight :
Ayurveda evolved around 600 BC in India.
This new system of medicine stressed on the prevention
of body ailments in addition to curing them. Followed
by the Dravidians and Aryans alike, Ayurveda has been
practised ever since. Today, it's a unique,
indispensable branch of medicine - a complete
naturalistic system that depends on the diagnosis of
your body's humours - vata, pitta and kapha - to
achieve the right balance.
Ayurveda believes in the treatment of not just the
affected part, but the individual as a whole. Making
it the natural way to refresh yourself, eliminate all
toxic imbalances from the body and thus regain
resistance and good health.
Kerala, the land of Ayurveda
Kerala's equable climate, natural abundance of forests
(with a wealth of herbs and medicinal plants), and the
cool monsoon season (June - November) are best suited
for Ayurveda's curative and restorative packages.
In fact, today, Kerala is the only State in India
which practises this system of medicine with absolute
dedication.
Monsoon, the ideal time for rejuvenation
Traditional texts reveal that the monsoon is the best
season for rejuvenation programmes. The atmosphere
remains dust-free and cool, opening the pores of the
body to the maximum, making it most receptive to
herbal oils and therapy.
Rejuvenative Programme
