There’s no place better than the God’s own country – Kerala, for Ayurvedic treatment. Kerala as the history tells us, holds an unbroken tradition of Ayurveda although the state has encountered many invasions or intrusion in the past. It is also believed that the Ayurveda Vaidyas (traditional practitioners of Ayurveda) were highly skillful with their healing methods for any disease in the whole mystical land of Kerala. In fact the legendary AshtaVaidyas (the eight families of Vaidyas) and their successors dedicated their lives for the treatment of diseases in the entire state for centuries. Hence, even today Ayurveda in Kerala is not an alternative but it’s the mainstream medical practice. Kerala is the only region that is purely dedicated towards this sacred method and study of Ayurveda that attracts many foreigners from all around the world to take advantage of this effective ancient therapy. 

Ayurvedic treatment is based on the natural therapy using organic substances and in synchronization with the environment. Hence, it is often recommended to be practiced alongside the nature with equable climate, surrounded by green forests and the cool monsoon season. Kerala stands out as the most appropriate place in the world for the best Ayurvedic treatment as it is one of the few places on earth where even during the monsoon season, a temperature of 24-28 degrees is maintained.

Such a climate guarantees adequate amount of moisture in the air as well as on the surface of our skin which makes our body ideal for natural medicines of Ayurveda to work delivering best results. Kerala hasn’t been given the status of God’s own country out of some religious theory but because of its natural beauty. The land of Kerala is full of medicinal plants which are the ultimate source of making Ayurvedic medicines required for all the major treatment procedures. Moreover these herbal plants are available throughout the year across every season. The rich alkaloid content of the soil enhances the intensity and potency of many Ayurvedic medicines when compared to places with different soil constitution.

The practice of Ayurveda medicines and treatment is extensively done in Kerala than any other part of the world as they have adapted to Ashtangahridayam, the user-friendly interpretation of Ayurveda, compiled by the great Vagbata. According to many scholars, Ashtangahridayam is the most contemporary treatise of Ayurveda and is often considered as an advancement over the earlier samhitas of Charaka and Sushruta, the pioneers of Ayurveda. In fact, Kerala was the first place to adopt the practice of Kashaya Chikitsa (treatment with concoction) and it became a trend in the state that hundreds of Kashayams are produced and classified by properly organizing them for various different treatments. Even the Kerala Vaidyars were the first to understand the anti-oxidant properties of Abayangam leading them to profusion of kizhis. Kerala has become the epicenter of Ayurvedic research in a scientific manner with the introduction of the largest number of Ayurveda colleges and practitioners in comparison to any other place in the world.

In Kerala, people have adapted to Ayurveda as a lifestyle. There are many instances often all over the news about a paralysed person walking, incurable diseases being cured etc. after going through a proper ayurvedic treatment. Today, Ayurveda is not considered as a healthcare system alone but it has also become a part of leading a healthy life.
