Thousands of urbanites are discovering Kerela's Ayurvedic holidays as the perfect way to rejuvenate their battered senses. A system of medicine with a tradition of about 3,000 years, Ayurveda facilitates the harmony of the body, mind and soul. This completely natural way of healing depends on the diagnosis of the 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, eliminates all toxic imbalances from the body and thus regain resistance and good health.
