Kerala is as much known for its
Ayurvedic rejuvenation and therapeutic programmes as for its theme
destinations. Today, there are government approved Ayurvedic health
resorts, Ayurvedic centres and hotels that offer these programmes, across
the length and breadth of the state. Set in natural locales, these resorts
not only restore you to good health, but help you return with a glow that
lasts all the year through.
Programmes include, in addition to therapies, herbal and oil massages,
herbal/medicated steam baths, special diets, yoga and meditation. However,
your schedule of programmes will be prescribed only after a physician
examines you and studies your health history. Moreover, being rooted in
nature, Ayurvedic regimes have no side effects.
