Ayurveda in Kerala - The Kerala System of Ayurvedic treatment developed in its own lines through the patronage of ruling princes and the selfless of devotion of the Ashta Vaidyans.  It has developed into a full fledged system of treatment with its unique characteristics. A very large section of rural folk of Kerala still depend solely upon Ayurveda. Pizhichil, Njawarakizhi etc are a few of the Kriya Karmas developed in its own style in Kerala.

Along with the widespread infrastructure in modern medicine in Kerala, there are 108 Ayurveda Hospitals with 2349 beds and 587 dispensaries under Government sector.

Ayurveda evolved around 600 BC in India. This new system of medicine stressed on the prevention of 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, indispensable branch of medicine - a complete naturalistic system that depends on the diagnosis of your body's humours - vata, pitta and kapha - to achieve the right balance.

Ayurveda believes in the treatment of not just the affected part, but the individual as a whole. Making it the natural way to refresh yourself, eliminate all toxic imbalances from the body and thus regain resistance and good health.

Kerala, the land of Ayurveda
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's curative and restorative packages.

In fact, today, Kerala is the only State in India which practices this system of medicine with absolute dedication.

Monsoon is the ideal time for rejuvenation
Traditional texts reveal that the monsoon is the best season for rejuvenation programs. The atmosphere remains dust-free and cool, opening the pores of the body to the maximum, making it most receptive to herbal oils and therapy.
