Ayurveda is the
knowledge of life, ayu meaning life and veda knowledge. The health clubs
and ayurvedic centers are based on the vedic science which is an
ancient Indian system of medicine which operates in tune with the
nature. Kerala with its verdant forests has an abundance of natural
herbs and plants which are very essential for the preparations of
ayurvedic medicines.
There are many
approved Ayurvedic centers in each part of Kerala and they are basically
divided into two types. Rejuvenative and Therapeutic. The first is for
strengthening the immune system and preventing the disease and the
second is for curing the disease. Some of the Rejuvenation programs are
Rasayana Chikilsa, Panchakarma, Sweda Karma, Meditation, Yoga etc. while
the Therapeutic programs are Njavarakizhi, Pizhichil, Marma Chikilsa,
Nasyam, Dhara etc. Most of the resorts and star hotels have their own
health clubs and ayurvedic cetures.
