Ayurveda, which literally means the science of life, is the ancient Indian discipline of holistic treatment and method of living. Ayurveda Kerala practitioners had yogi like prominence in Kerala society. Practicing Ayurveda would take a man some 30 years to complete, under the careful guidance of a skilled practitioner. It is also noted that there is a medicine or treatment method for every disease in Ayurveda.

Ayurveda Kerala now has literally means the treatment one would get at an ayurvedic spa or ayurvedic resort in the areas of lakes, hills or beaches. There are also many ayurvedic hospitals in Kerala, where ayurvedic doctors who have passed out from ayurvedic Medical College practice.

Ayurvedic treatment strictly follows the rules set by ancient ayurvedic researchers. The methods of Ayurveda include medication, massaging and external application of medicines. Kerala Ayurveda practitioners would tell you that all diseases – both physical and mental – are caused due to imbalances of the natural physical state. There are three states that you need to keep in balance, Satva, Rajas and Thamas. The diet we take has the power to influence the natural physical conditions of a person.

While undergoing treatment, it is also necessary to follow a rigid ayurvedic diet to get the full benefits of the treatment. Finding Ayurvedic centers in Kerala is not a big problem. There are Kerala government recognized treatment centers, where you can spend your time with rejuvenation therapy, marma chikitsa (specialized massaging) or calming down your nervous system with a soothing ‘dhara’.
