Kerala Ayurveda
Ayurveda is the science and Art of living life in a manner useful to society. It has for its objects the preservation of health in the healthy and the restoration of health to the diseased.
Kerala is the land of Ayurveda which practises this system of medicine with absolute dedication. 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. Ayurveda is a complete naturalistic system that depends on the diagnosis of your body's humours - vata, pitta and kapha - to achieve the right balance.
The ayurvedic doctors here, unlike the rest of India, are fairly well aware of the Sanskrit language. This enables them to understand the ancient system of treatment much better than others (since the early ayurvedic books were written in Sanskrit). Moreover, the salubrious climate of Kerala and abundance of herbs and medicinal plants add to the effective treatment.
Ayurvedic treatment here has gained such popularity that tourists from all over the world come to Kerala just to cure their disease. Some even have an ayurvedic treatment for pleasure - sukh chikitsa - endorsing the very basic of ayurvedic principles.
Alappuzha, Ernakulam, Idukki, Kappad, Kochi, Kottakkal, Kottayam, Kollam, Kovalam, Kumily, Kumarakom, Munnar, Thrissur, Tiruvanantapuram(Trivandrum), Varkala are some of the places, where numerous centres of Ayurvedic treatment can be found.
