The World Health Organization has realized the richness of Ayurveda and has listed it as the best and safest system of medicine. People from the West come on a Kerala Tour not only to percept its unfathomable depth but also to avail and assess its preventive and curative prospects.

Now Kerala Tour packages can be designed to include Ayurvedic treatments on houseboats. Ayurveda means “The Science of Life”. This stream of knowledge passed on from generation to generation since eternity explains life from birth to death and suggests all possible natural ways to lead a long healthy life. Apart from treating diseases, Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of prevention of diseases. Ayurveda considers all living creatures as the replica of nature. i.e. all perceptible substances are formed by the permutation and combination of the basic five basic elements – fire, earth, water, air and ether.

Diseases whether due to external or internal cause, occur due to the disequilibria of these functional units. Doshas Vatha ,Pitha & Kapha (Tridosha) represent catabolism, conversion, and anabolism in the body. Ayurveda explains the body on the basis of tridosha theory which is eternal, applicable to all in any era.
