Ayurveda

Ayurveda is one of the most ancient systems of medicine and lifestyle still in use today. 
The importance and practice of Ayurveda had been nullified or minimized between 17th and 20th century in India but was preserved in the region of Travancore, Cochin and Malabar by limited practice. These three zones later became Kerala and hence the term Kerala Ayurveda became popular in the 20th and 21st century. 
Ayurveda provides solutions for lifestyle diseases like Diabetes, Heart diseases, Obesity. Autoimmune diseases like Rheumatoid arthritis, Psoriasis, Ulcerative Colitis, Chron's disease are well managed by means of the principles and practices of Ayurveda. Hormonal imbalances are treated by bringing the balance back. Neurological/degenerative disorders are treated by pacifying "Vata". Musculoskeletal diseases like spine problems, ligament injuries, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, fracture rehabilitation are treated by ancient healing methods. 
Even though Ayurveda has a curative part, prevention is recommended as the first line. This is by following a disciplined daily regimen, season specific regimen, diet, exercise. The curative part includes medication and panchakarma.
