Nature is the best when it comes to healing. So are the nature-based cures. Ayurveda has gained popularity over time for its ability to heal without many side-effects. More importantly, the calming and soothing treatment methods that reinvigorate individuals. This alternative medicine has prevailed in India since medieval times. The core of Ayurveda is using indigenous herbs and oils with medicinal properties to address specific health conditions. These herbs and oils are mostly cultivated or easily sourced by Ayurvedic or Naturopathy centres. Some of these herbs or spices are also commonly used in Indian cooking and hence very common medicines.
The other aspect of Ayurveda is that it administers treatment or cure based on the individual’s body type and condition. According to Ayurveda, every individual has a separate type of body conditions and hence treatment must be tailor-made for each type. The categorisation arises out of classifications prescribed in ancient texts of Ayurvedic science. Hence, an individual is first identified with his or her body conditions. Later the source of the health condition affecting the individual is identified. Ayurveda has treatment for healing both the cause and symptoms of diseases.
India is the top Medical Tourism destination for Ayurveda, given that it is the origin of the naturally-healing science. Many renowned institutions are sought for Ayurvedic wellness. Here, we say wellness because, in Ayurveda apart from treating the physical condition, a cool and serene mind is essential for sound health. This is given great importance by such institutions which are reflected in terms of the architecture and design of the accommodation and treatment centres. Most often, these treatments halls/centres are located in the same destination as the place of stay. Elements of nature are included strategically to give peace of mind to the residents.
Benefits of Ayurvedic treatment

- 3. The natural way of healing has zero or very few side-effects which can be overcome. Medicinal herbs and spices used are sometimes commonly found in Indian kitchens, making them readily available, unlike medicinal drugs.
- 4. Overall wellness – both physical and psychological wellbeing is folded into the treatment plan.
- 5. Treatment or cure is specific to the body type and conditions of each individual, determining the course of treatment individually.

With the popularity of Ayurveda, various institutions have been established throughout India offering various Naturothrapy and/or Ayurvedic cures. Centres are present in the North and South of India. The South Indian state of Kerala is widely known for its Ayurvedic treatment and therapeutic sessions. It is also famous for its inclination towards nature and preservation. Nevertheless, it is best to seek guidance from experts or medical advisors before choosing a destination.
