Ayurveda in Sri Lanka has a rich history that dates back thousands of years. The island’s Ayurvedic system was formed through the direct influence of Indian Ayurveda and local knowledge. It is no longer an alternative medicinal practice, but rather one that has been scientifically proven and is now a part of every Sri Lankan’s life. Ayurveda literally translates to “life science.” It is the world’s oldest wellness method, focusing on restoring body, mind, and spirit balance. Ayurvedic treatments are the most popular spa therapies in Sri Lanka due to their rejuvenating and restorative properties. Certain Ayurveda resorts in Sri Lanka offer specific menus and guest routines for a more holistic experience. An Ayurveda facility would normally have a competent Ayurveda doctor analyze the patient before offering therapy.
