Kerala Ayurveda: Pure Herbs
Ayurveda started with pure herbal preparations. Parts of trees, shrubs, and plants were freshly gathered and made into simple, safe, effective remedies for illnesses. These were applied externally and ingested and used along with touch-therapies, dietary interventions, and lifestyle alterations to keep Life Balance.
Some 2500 years ago, the first of many add-ons to Ayurveda came in the form of using extracts/powders/burnt residue of metals, gems, minerals and poisons to cure chronic and difficult ailments. They could be effective but, unless carefully made and administered only by specially trained doctors, could harm as well.
Over the centuries, successive waves of invasions into the Indian sub-continent brought new systems of belief, which integrated with indigenous Ayurveda and changed it. Today Kerala remains the only bastion of pure ancient Ayurveda. This is because no one ever invaded her. Thus she preserved purely herbal Ayurveda. This form of Ayurveda is naturally gentle, completely safe and has no side effects. In its holistic purity it heals the full body-mind-spirit continuum.
The traditional Kerala Ayurveda therapies and herbal medicines can be used both to cure various ailments (Curative) as well as to improve general health (Rejuvenation). The effect of Kerala therapies differs with the oil, herbs, and other ingredients used.
The highly trained staff at Ayurvedagram offers a number of massage-based treatments such as Shirodhara, the use of specific oils poured continuously on the centre of the forehead to induce deep relaxation and rejuvenation, and Abhyanga, a full body warm oil massage to promote overall good health. A full range of treatments can be seen on Ayurvedagram’s website.
