Kerala Ayurveda

Ayurveda,the 5000-year-old natural herbal health care system has been recognized the world over as the most perfected body-mind health care system. Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word, derived from two roots: Ayur, which means life, and Veda, which means knowledge. It is fair to say that Ayurveda is the science of life.

Ayurveda is a science dealing not only with the treatment of some diseases but is a complete way of life. It is the only system of medicine which incorporates suggestions & remedies for both healthy & diseased people.

Kerala, the tropical paradise on the southwest coast of India, is well known as the heart land of Ayurveda. Kerala's equable climate, natural abundance of forests with a wealth of herbs and medicinal plants, and the cool monsoon season starting from June to November are best suited for Ayurveda's curative and restorative programs.

In fact, today Kerala is the only State in India, which practices this system of medicine with absolute dedication. Monsoon is considered to be the ideal time for rejuvenation. Ancient texts recommend monsoon to be the best season for Ayurveda regimens. 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.

Kerala, the confluence of different natural herbal systems, enriched and fine-tuned Ayurveda. While the Ayurvedic system was enriched by Siddha and Marma systems in southern Kerala, it joined hands with Kalaripayattu and Kalari Therapy in northern Kerala which resulted in the emergence of a new stream noted for its special procedures and formulations.

"Agastyakoodam" a herbal mountain on the Western Ghat mountain ranges in south India has the pre-eminent position as the home of the most perfected herbal health care system. Named after a great sage who lived here many years ago with his disciples whose contribution to ancient Indian medical science was phenomenal. This mountain has a halo of myth ' Agastyakoodam, near Trivandrum, the capital of state of Kerala is a preserve of biodiversity-one among the 18 hotspots in the world- there are thousands of herbs and plants exclusive to this biosphere.
