Ayurveda believes that any kind of symptom – be it arthritis, a migraine, or even cancer – is your body's way of signalling that you are out of balance, and that something needs to change.

Ayurveda sets to put the body back into balance in order for the body find a way to heal itself.

If you are in need for some tender loving care, head to one of these retreats in Kerala to get that much deserved healing and rest.

Niramaya

This beach resort is located on a cliff with the view of the Arabian Sea. It is a great place to spend some quality time with the family. And while you are going for the Ayurvedic treatments, your children will be kept busy with activities which includes pottery classes, mehndi designing, glass painting, coffee painting and even milking cows! Aside from taking long walks on the private beach, there is also a private tour of the local fish market (Kerala is, after all, famous for its fish).

Manaltheeram Ayurveda Beach Village

The Keralan-style houses, circular cottages and thatched villas are crafted from eco-friendly materials overlooking the beach. With more than 600 varieties of herbs grown and preserved here for use in medicinal preparations, the herbs are also used in the 250 Ayurveda vegetarian dishes, raw salads and juices provided to their guests.
