Kerala Ayurveda
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 practised 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 practises this
system of medicine with absolute dedication.
Monsoon, the ideal
time for rejuvenation
Traditional texts reveal that the monsoon is the
best season for rejuvenation programmes. 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.
The Genesis
Ayurveda started
more than 5000 years ago. There are glimpses of Ayurvedic treatments and medicines
in various ancient scripts.The word Ayurveda is derived from two words - Ayu meaning
life and Veda meaning knowledge or science. It literally means knowledge about
life.
Fundamentals
The formation of living organisms
is described in the principles of Ayurveda.The focus is on obtaining a balance
among the Tridhoshas, i.e. Vatha, Pitha and Kapha. Illness is the result of imbalance
of the Tridhoshas.
Like modern medicine, Ayurveda is also divided
into several important branches of treatment dealing with various human aspects.
Each branch follows various methods for regenerating the equilibrium of body,
mind and soul.
