Ayurveda
Over 4000
years young.
Ayurveda is the perfect ancient
science of life. The word 'ayur'
literally means life and 'veda' the
science of knowledge. It implies to
connected ideas, the science of life
and art of living. Pioneered by
renowned sages - Susrutha, Charaka
and Vagbhata, ayurveda encompasses a
world view that is ecological and
eco-centric in spirit. It emphasises
on the preventive rather than the
curative
aspect of therapy and orients itself
towards a healthy and enlightened
lifestyle. When Ayurveda lost its
way in the other areas of India
during the medieval period, due to
foreign invasion, only in Kerala it
was kept alive and because of that
reason Kerala developed its own
Ayurvedic treatment techniques known
as Keraleeya Panchakarma.
Keeping alive the tradition.
Turn in to watch a great tradition
kept alive for you, in all its
essence. A garden of rare and
