Ayurveda Holidays From KTDC
Kerala. Where Nature's overwhelming presence represents itself in hues unknown to man. Where there is an inexhaustible wealth of the choicest natural bounties.
For instance, Ayurveda. The ancient, time-tested system of Indian medicine that is practiced with the utmost dedication in Kerala.
Around 600 BC, in India a new system of medicine evolved. A system that in addition to treating an ailment , stressed on its prevention. A system that came to be called Ayurveda. This tradition of health-care was followed by the Dravidians and Aryans alike, and has been practiced ever since. Today, it's a unique, indispensable branch of medicine. In Ayurveda health is achieved by maintaining a right balance of the three humors of the body - Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
In fact, today, Kerala is the only State in India which practices this system of medicine with absolute dedication.
