kerala-ayurFor 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.

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.)
