India Ayurveda

Started nearly 5000 years back, Ayurveda not only cures naturally, it also offers a rich & comprehensive outlook to a healthy life. The word Ayurveda is composed of two sanskrit terms - Ayu meaning life and Veda meaning knowledge. Therefore Ayurveda means the knowledge of life or science of life. Ayurveda deals with the maintenance of health and relief from disease. Life is the outcome of the union of body, sense organs, Psyche and Soul.

Ayurveda is not merely a system of healing, but an entire way of life that aims to bring about the perfect balance of the entire personality - body, mind and spirit. In Ayurveda, a person may be treated as a whole with customized approach looking into his constitution, age, sex, habitat, capacity and other relevant factors for the betterment of health / cure of disease. Presently practiced Ayurveda in India is effective in all type of diseases except in some of the acute conditions where emergency treatment and surgery is mandatory.

Even if you're in the pink of health, there's no reason why you shouldn't get some traditional massages, just for the tremendous feelings of relaxation and joy they bring. The first step in the method of diagnosis in Ayurvedic form of medicine is to determine the constitution of the person. That means it is the patient who is diagnosed first and not the disease.

Located mainly in South Indian state of Kerala, these hotels/resorts combine within themselves lodging facilities and Ayurvedic packages - from rejuvenating massages to specific curative therapies within the hotel/resort complex. Kerala practices this system of medicine with absolute dedication and is known as the home of the most perfected herbal health care system.
