Ayurveda is an age old wisdom...part of India's great heritage. The people behind it were ancient saints or rishis, who researched on various permutation and combinations of medicinal plants to achieve the desired result. It is said that Ayurveda had the power to give life to an almost dead person, while the word Ayurveda itself means "knowledge of Life".More than 5000 years old, this unique branch of medicine has curative & restorative powers. Ayurveda is a natural healing system and is based on a holistic approach. Kerala's moist deciduous forest rich in medicinal plants and herbs has made this state the real home of Ayurveda.

Ayurveda maintains that human body is composed of the same elements as in nature - that is, fire, earth, air, water & ether. Tridosha comprises of vata (air), pitta (fire), kapha (water). According to the three element( Tridosha) theory, any imbalance in Tridosha can result in health deterioration. Ayurveda is there to rectify the imbalances. So Ayurvedic medicine has two main objectives : 1. to help in maintaining good health. 2. to care for the ill and restore their health. Ayurveda, does not merely treat the affected part but strike at the root cause of a particular disease. Ayurveda aims at eliminating toxic imbalances from the body and to regain body resistance and good health.
