Ayurveda, Harmony of Body, Mind and Soul:
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 practiced ever sine.
Today,
it's a unique, indispensable branch of medicine - a complete natural healing
system that depends on the diagnosis of your body's homours - 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 the natural way to refresh yourself, elimate 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 practices 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 ot herbal oils and therapy.
