Spa & Ayurveda Treatment

Ayurveda is the medical side of yoga. It’s India’s traditional natural healing system, which has been practiced for over 5,000 years.

Ayurvedic resorts have become popular destinations for relaxation and rejuvenation in India, while ayurvedic hospitals cater for people seeking ayurvedic treatment for more serious health problems.

What are the Benefits of Ayurvedic Medicine

Ayurvedic medicine is particularly effective for metabolic, stress related, and chronic conditions. Treatments are also very helpful in relieving the effects of surgery and debilitating treatments such as chemotherapy. Other popular uses of ayurveda are for general rejuvenation and beauty care.

What is the Process for Ayurvedic Treatment

Ayurveda is a pranic system of medicine, which works to balance the body’s life energy -- refered to as the doshas. This is achieved by diet, different types of massage, pouring herbal liquid onto the body, and covering the body with herbal leaves and powders. You’ll be assessed by a qualified doctor and a treatment program tailor made to address the root of your problem. Generally, at least a couple of weeks are needed to complete a full course of ayurvedic treatment. However it’s also possible to get simple renewal treatments, such as ayurvedic massage, by themselves.

When is the Best Time to Receive Ayurvedic Treatment in India

The rainy season, during the monsoon from June to September, is an ideal time for ayurvedic treatment because the atmosphere remains cool, moist, and dust free. This helps the body’s pores to open up, making it most receptive to herbal oils and therapy.

Where is Ayurvedic Treatment Available in India

Most places that offer ayurvedic treatment are located in the southern state of Kerala, due to the climate and abundant supply of medicinal plants and herbs there. You’ll also find quite a few ayurvedic centers in Goa. Ayurvedic treatments are available both at ayurvedic hospitals and ayurvedic resorts, as well as most five star hotels in these states. Another innovative option is to book an ayurvedic houseboat and explore the picturesque Kerala backwaters while receiving treatment.
