Kerala’s equable climate, natural abundance of forests (with a wealth of herbs and medicinal plants), and the cool monsoon season (June - November) are best suited for Ayurveda Kerala’s curative and restorative packages. In fact, today, Kerala is the only State in India which practices this system of medicine with absolute dedication.

Ayurvedic treatments can be classified under two groups - tonification and reduction. Reduction therapies decrease excesses in the body while tonification methods nurture insufficiency in the body. Reduction therapy has two parts called pacification and purification. Pacification is done with herbs, fasting, exercise, sunbathing and exposure to wind. Purification is a special form of therapy for elimination of the disease causing humors. The power of Ayurvedic elimination therapy is its system for guiding the toxins to their sites for elimination. It consists of five parts – The pancha karmas - cleaning enemas, nasal medication, Purgation, Emesis and blood letting. All these require preliminary Ayurvedic practices of oleation and sweating.

Ayurveda evolved around 600BC in India. This new system of medicine stressed on the prevention of the body ailments in addition to curing them. Followed by the Dravidians and Aryans alike, Ayurveda has been practiced ever since. Today it’s a unique, inseparable branch of medicine- a complete natural healing system that depends on the diagnosis of your body’s humours - Vata, Pitta, and Kapha - to achieve the right balance.
