Kerala
is also known as the land of Ayurveda.
Ayurveda is a unique, indispensable branch of medicine – a complete
naturalistic system that depends on the diagnosis of one’s body’s
humours - vata, pitta and kapha - to achieve the right balance.
 This
is a natural way of refreshing oneself, eliminating all toxic imbalances
from the body and thus regaining resistance and good health.
Kerala
is the only state in India, which practices this system of medicine
with absolute dedication. SITC organises Ayurvedic
Rejuvenation packages in association with the leading traditional
ayurvedic pharmacies in the state. The rejuvenative and therapeutic
programmes arranged are listed below. Though, all the packages are
organised according to the convenience of the tourist, the programme
and duration is decided by the ayurvedic physician after considering
the medical history, if any.
