Hotel: Ananda - South Asia's Finest Ayurvedic Resort & Spa India is the
home of one of the oldest healing systems-the Ayurveda. It traces its roots
from one of the ancient Indian scripture - the Vedas, where it is defined as
the science of life or the study of body mechanism.
Ram World Travels Travels invites you to visit India and take the maximum benefit
of this comprehensive system of natural healthcare. Ayurveda believes that there
are three primary life forces-vatha(mobility), pitha(energy) and kapha(stamina)
and the imbalance between them is the very cause of all ailments. Unlike modern
diagnosis, Ayurveda diagnoses your body constituents
to better understand your ailment. It will then cure you accordingly to bring
back the natural balance of the biological humors.
This ancient science also discusses other basic concepts like saptha dhatus
(the body tissues), srotas (channels), ama (toxins) and trinity of life, that
is, the body, mind and spiritual awareness.
We will take you to the best ayurvedic center in India where the treatment is
divided into two groups-tonification and reduction. The expert practitioners
there will treat you using their vast experience and knowledge and rest assured
the ayurvedic medicines wouldn't cause any adverse side effects as they are
prepared using natural plants, metals, minerals and even mud & sand.
It might sound incredible but the description of the incurable diseases like
AIDS, Cancer and many others can be found in the Vedas. Ayurveda offers remedies
even for these fatal diseases, which is still a formidable task for the modern
medicine.
Surely, your visit to India is incomplete if you are not touched by the magic
of Ayurveda. Once thought of as unattainable enlightenment is now within your
grasp with Ram World Travels. In your quest to discover the hidden treasure
of Ayurveda we
would feel proud to be your guiding partner.
