Today, many people have already experienced and trust Ayurveda methods, and medical tourism in India attracts more and more travelers every year. Luxury hotels and spa centers, a world cultural heritage of India and proven safe medical procedures – rest in India is not only interesting, but also useful!
The origins of Ayurveda
The birthplace of Ayurveda is Kerala – the southernmost state of India, which is washed by the waters of the Arabian Sea. The most famous classical texts of Ayurveda – “Charaka-Samhita” and “Sushruta-Samhita” – were formed around the XNUMXth century, but the ideas and methods presented in them were undoubtedly known long before that time.
Over time, the foundations of Ayurveda spread and gained more and more followers. Ayurvedic massage and cleansing techniques are popular and widespread not only in India. Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan and some Arab countries use Ayurvedic healing methods.
Modern Ayurveda in India
The high professionalism of doctors in central clinics, combined with very low prices for treatment by world standards, make India very attractive to people from many countries of the world. In large hospitals in Bombay, for example, the Hinduya clinic, the quality of medical care is in no way inferior to the leading medical centers in Europe and the United States. Medical tourism in India is one of the most popular and promising destinations among Americans and Europeans.
Tourists who come to India for treatment can visit other sights of the country that are traditionally attractive to foreigners. Healing and wellness programs can be easily combined with excursions, and relaxation for body and soul with acquaintance with the culture and rich history of the mysterious country.
Resorts and hotels in India have Ayurvedic centers, diagnostic services and Ayurvedic massages are provided in almost every hotel in Goa and Kerala. Spas and wellness centers that use Ayurveda in combination with traditional Western medicine can be found throughout India. The centers in hotels and spas are served by qualified doctors and specialists.
Therapies
In working to restore health, Ayurveda takes into account all levels of life – body, mind, spirit – and their connection with each other. For self-healing, Ayurveda provides advice on nutrition, lifestyle, exercise, rest and relaxation, meditation, breathing exercises and medicinal herbs, and also offers cleansing and rejuvenation procedures. In addition, Ayurveda offers numerous supportive methods such as sound, color and scent treatments.
Ayurveda is more than the art of healing. Ayurveda treatments are designed to cleanse the body, relax and restore balance and harmony disturbed by stress or illness, chronic fatigue and other causes of aging.
Ayurveda gives not only a complete picture of the course of the disease, but also of possible deviations from harmony and a state of balance, which makes it possible to prevent illness, to make a person’s life better and longer. All therapeutic procedures are painless, relaxing, without negative side effects.

Ayurveda has helped many people to cope with diseases of the heart, joints, digestive problems, high blood pressure, nervous system disorders and many others. At the same time, all procedures are very pleasant: Ayurveda is based on the use of various oils, herbs, steam procedures, massage and cleansing procedures, yoga and meditation.
Ayurveda centers are visited not only by people from all over the world who want to improve their health, but also those who want to become beautiful. Special treatments for weight loss, graying and signs of aging are offered along with nutritional and health advice to be followed at home after returning from India.
