Ayurveda - The Magic of Ancient Healing

Indeed, Kerala's equable climate and natural opulence of herbs and medicinal plants make it an ideal destination for Ayurveda. Two annual monsoon showers only add to the therapy. Ayurveda doesn't provide a quick-fix solution nor does it offer instant nirvana. The best part of Ayurveda is that it cares for a patient in entirety during treatment. It is a science that revolves around the unexplored dimensions of do's and dont's of life, a life that derives its essence from one of the world's most ancient systems of medicine. Today, the State of Kerala is the only place in the world where Ayurveda is practised to perfection. There are numerous hotels, spas and health resorts in Kerala that offer ayurveda - both refreshing and therapeutic. Try one of those warm, medicated oil baths and rejuvenate your lost vigour at one of those health resorts lining the lengths of Kerala beaches. Gift yourself a new life with the magical fingers of the masseurs playing on your skin and spinal cord. The resorts are usually equipped with individual treatment rooms along with a yoga hall, a performing art centre and an exclusive kitchen serving traditional Ayurveda vegetarian delicacies. A stay here is really amazing! Try it to believe it. Everything is possible on Kerala yatra.
