Destination of a lifetime

Hailed as the destination of a lifetime, Kerala has emerged a major tourism brand in India. Blanketed in a sea of verdant green and crisscrossed by numerous rivers, this small strip of land on the southwestern coast of India has its unique mix of vibrant attractions – breathtaking natural beauty, fascinating history, rich culture, interesting customs, distinct architecture, and Ayurveda, the age old science of life. The magic of the land lies in the fact that almost the entire State is a tourist destination.

Kerala, the land of Ayurveda

For most travelers, Kerala is synonymous with Ayurveda. As the therapeutic travel circuit expands, most of the premier hotels and resorts in Kerala now offer state-of the- art Ayurveda facilities. Most of the establishments follow the strict code of conduct and the ground rules laid down in Ayurveda tradition. Kerala’s equable climate, natural abundance of forests with a wealth of herbs and medicinal plants and the cool season altogether ensures healing at its best to you. Monsoon (June-September and October-November) and summer (February-May) are distinct seasons here, while winter is only a slight fall in the normal temperature of 32 º to 28 º C. In fact, today, Kerala is the only State in India which practices this system of medicine with absolute dedication

Ayurvedic health care

Ayurvedic treatments have a single goal: to bring the disturbed doshas/dysfunctions inside the body back to normalcy and thereby achieve the state of balance/health. To achieve health, Ayurveda employs four procedures: • Internal medications and treatments(herbal medicines, ghee, oils, enema, emesis etc.) • External applications (various massages, treatments like oleation, sudation, herbal pastes, etc. ) • Diet (according to the body type) • Lifestyle corrections (daily and seasonal regimen, yoga, meditation etc.)
