Ayurveda, ‘the scince of life/health’ evolved in India around 600 BC. Today, Kerala is the only Indian state where such systems are practiced with unerring dedication. Ayurvedic medicine stresses the prevention and cure of bodily ailments and the treatment of the whole individual, not just the affected part. Naturalistic methods based on the diagnosis of the individual’s three humours – vatta, pitta and kapha – are used to tone up the nervous system, eliminate toxins and restore the body to good health.
Yoga, the ancient Indian discipline that brings about a state of tranquility through body streches, breathing exercises and meditation, is also tought in health centres and resorts throughout Kerala.
