Sri Lankan Aurvedic Treatement
An aura of
tranquility embraces you as you enter the precincts of an Ayurveda Health
Centre. The sweet aroma of freshly brewed herbal tea sooth your senses as you
take a sip to calm your nerves and prepare for the holistic experience… the
natural way. The in-house Ayurveda doctor feels your pulse and identifies the
treatment best suited to you. You are also advised on how to maintain your
health and beauty. You are clensed, exfoliated, massaged and wrapped in a rich
herbal paste of flowers, bark and leaves and rested, for juices to seep into
your body and enrich your soul. The history of Ayurveda goes back as far as
1500 B.C. With the arrival of a branch of Indo-Europeans in India. Here they
developed a great culture rich in many aspects. The religious ideas and
philosophical thinking of these people are found in their holy texts – the
Vedas. Namely the Rigveda, the Yajurveda, the Samaveda and the Atharvaveda.
These texts are replete with data pertaining to botany and zoology and these
ideas gradually gave rise tot their medical science later famous as the
Ayurveda. Ayurveda means the science of longevity. Almost all prescriptions
used in curing are produced by raw materials found naturally and no artificial
substances are used. These would come from roots, stems, barks, leaves,
flowers, seeds, fruits & nuts of many a plant. From animals: milk, honey,
pearls, musk, shells and from earth: iron, gold, silver & copper are used.
Ayurvedic drugs do not harm the organs of the body and do not give rise to any
side effects. Ayurveda or indigenous medicine as practised in Sri Lanka and India
has drawn the interest of the West for quite sometime. A tourist is initiated
to this great form of medication through Ayurvedic Health Centres, Health Spa’s
and Wellness Centres they frequent while on tour in our island. Most of the
treatment practiced in these centers are based on Ayurveda and in some centres
Japanese, Chinese & Thai methods of therapy as well as Aromatheraphy are
used. Treatment is always administered under the guidance of an Ayurvedic
medical practitioner or experts in Spa method treatment. Combining the
Ayurvedic form of medicine gives you not only relaxation of the mind and body
but will also treat the organs of the body to function properly through the
administration of drugs using natural ingredients in relieving deep seated diseases
as well as maintaining good health.
