Ayurveda is the oldest surviving complete medical system in the world. Ayurveda, a Sanskrit word meaning the 'knowledge for prolonging life", is a 5000 year-old holistic medical system, widely practiced in India and especially in Kerala. Ayurveda assumes the fundamental sameness of self and nature and as such it is a sister science to yoga, stemming from the same period of Vedic philosophy. It places great importance on the harmony of mind, body and spirits and acknowledges the psychosomatic causes behind many diseases. Ayurveda looks at the whole patient: disease is regarded as a symptom of imbalance, so it's the imbalance that is treated, not the disease!

The ideal geographic location of Kerala and its salubrious climate has made external purification and rejuvenation therapies most effective for treatment of many psychosomatic disorders.

The high humidity in Kerala helps to open up the body pores and the medicinal oils used in massaging get easily absorbed into the body there by increasing the effectiveness of the treatment. Sirodhara, Pizhichil, Navarakizhi, Thalapothichil, Pachakizhi and Podikizhi are some of the kerala special ayurvedic procedures. Come, get yourself distressed!
