Kerala, known as the birthplace of Ayurveda, offers the world's most authentic and comprehensive wellness experiences. Here, ancient healing traditions are preserved in their purest form, passed down through generations of skilled practitioners who understand that true wellness encompasses the harmony of mind, body, and spirit.
Understanding Ayurveda: The Science of Life
Ayurveda, literally meaning "knowledge of life," is far more than a medical system - it's a complete philosophy of living in harmony with nature. This 5,000-year-old science recognizes that each individual is unique, requiring personalized approaches to achieve optimal health and longevity.
Pitta

Kapha
Earth & Water elements. Provides structure, immunity, and stability. Kapha individuals are typically calm, steady, and have strong immunity but may be prone to sluggishness.
