Kerala Ayurveda

The peculiar geographical features that nature has bestowed upon Kerala have enabled it to be shielded, unlike the rest of the country, from any major foreign invasion or cultural incursions. It has thus remained a cradle of pristine traditional knowledge, culture and heritage including Ayurveda. Ayurveda, as it is practiced in Kerala, has come to represent an untainted form of traditional Indian wisdom on health and medicine. This virgin form of Ayurveda has been enriched with immense regional innovations and improvements to take the shape and form that we see today. The status of Ayurveda in Kerala is not alternative but mainstream with the highest practitioners-to-population ratio in comparison to any other place in the world.
