Ayurvedic Resorts

Ayurveda, a complete natural healing system of medicine that stresses on the prevention of body ailments and curing them, evolved around 600 BC in India. Followed by the Dravidian and Aryans alike, Ayurveda still remains a unique, in dispensable branch of medicine. Eliminating all toxic imbalances from the body and thus regaining resistance and good health, Ayurveda depends on the diagnosis of your body's humours- vata, pitta and kapha- to achieve the right balance. 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.
