Ayurveda Holidays in Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is popular as a destination for leisure holidays. Sri Lanka beach tour packages, wildlife tours and cultural tours such as Sri Lanka 4 days tour are some of the popular activities for travellers. Usually, a Sri Lanka road trip includes many places giving an experience of the cultural, historical and natural perspective of the island while towards the end of the tour the travellers enjoy the pristine beaches of Sri Lanka. But I highly doubt if you are aware of Ayurveda holidays in Sri Lanka. Because Sri Lanka is still an infant in this arena of health tourism.

What is Ayurveda?

First will discuss, what is Ayurveda. Ayurveda is an ancient system of medicine developed in Asia, long before the father of medicine, Hippocrates, was even born. The name Ayurveda is derived from 2 Sanskrit terms ‘Ayuh’ (life) and ‘Veda'(science or knowledge). Once the term Ayurveda is converted into English it means the science of healthy living. The two main objectives of Ayurveda are maintaining a healthy body and mind and working against diseases.

Ayurveda is based on an indigenous healing system, it draws not only on a deep understanding of philosophy but also elements of philosophy, psychology and spirituality. The Ayurveda is so influential that other ancient healing method such as Indian, Tibetan, Chinese medicine and Greek medicine has adopted many of the concepts found in Ayurveda.

Using herbs for Ayurveda medicine

Practitioners employ many of the medical herbs and plants native to Sri Lanka, they combine leaves, bark, berries, roots and flowers to create bespoke potions, oils and unguents tailor-made for the individual. Incidentally, in Ayurveda there is a belief that it’s not just people but also plants that can get sick – so only ‘healthy ’ plants are used.

Almost all presentations used in curing are produced by raw materials found naturally, where no artificial substances are used. These would come from roots, stems, barks, leaves, flowers, seeds, fruits & nuts of many a plant. From animals: milk, pearls, musk, shells and from earth iron, gold, silver & copper are used. Ayurvedic drugs do no harm to the organs of the body and do not give rise to any side effects. It has been shown in medical studies that drugs used in Ayurveda act as nutrients.

Principles of Ayurveda

To lead a healthy life one has to follow the Ayurvedic principles. To take care of the sick, the Ayurvedic physician has to get thorough knowledge so that he could determine whether the invalid is ill mentally or physically or both. Where for each patient, the physician has to diagnose the root of the cause and treat it accordingly. When the root of the illness is destroyed, the illness would not rise again.

Ayurveda is a way to a healthy & long life and can complement modern medicine. Ayurveda treats the symptoms of a disease and it helps individuals to strengthen their immune system. According to the fundamentals of Ayurveda the entire human body (mind, body and spirit of a person) should be treated as one unit because the human mind and body are working closely with each other.
