Many tourists come to Kovalam to take Ayurvedic
treatments. Kovalam has evolved as a major Ayurvedic centre with many
hotels and resorts offering Ayurvedic rejuvenation therapies and
treatments. You can treat your worn out body and energise the nerves
and muscles through time tested rejuvenation treatments.
An
Ayurvedic massage increases the blood circulation, tones up
the muscles and dilates the nerves thus effecting a new lease of freshness
and vigour to your body. The herbal and naturalistic modes of treatments
act on your bones and joints. These treatments cure you of many illnesses
such as arthritis. Yoga and meditation are also practised in these centres. You can also take up a training programme provided at various
Ayurvedic centres. These programs usually last for about a
month.
Kerala's equable climate, natural asssbundance of herbal and
medicinal plants and the cool monsoon season (June-November) are best
suited for Ayurveda's curative and restorative programmes. Ancient texts
recommend the monsoon period to be the best season for Ayurvedic
treatments. The atmosphere remains dust-free and cool, opening the pores
of the body to the maximum, making it most receptive to herbal oils and
therapy.
Some Ayurvedic centres offer simple oil massages for
relaxation, while full course treatments last for about 21 days. The
full course treatments includes a special restrictive diet and a daily
massage. Twenty one days is the minimum recommended period for achieving
noticeable effect.
