Ayurveda
Unlike most medicines which are sought after the person gets sick, Ayurveda also has medicine and herbs that help you prevent the disease or infection in the first place.
Principles
Originating in ancient India, Ayurveda has been in practice for centuries now and has spread to the other parts of the world too. From elegant resorts in London to a luxury spa in Maldives, you can get an Ayurveda treatment in most parts of the world. Anantara Veli Maldives Resort, for instance, is one such resort which has Ayurveda treatments at its spa.
The Doshas
According to this holistic treatment, the body has 3 doshas, namely, Vata dosha, Pitta dosha and Kapha dosha, and they are the elements or air, fire, and water respectively. Doshas are believed to shape the mind and body of a human being, affecting their daily activities, from sleep to digestion of food. For example, if you found out which dosha rules your body, you’d be able to find the cure for most of your infections and common issues.
