Statistics Book 2007.pdf - Kerala Tourism

Ayurvedic Tourism:
Ayurveda evolved around 600 BC in India. It believes in the treatment of not just the affected part, but
the individual as a whole. Making it the natural way to rejuvenate yourself, eliminate all toxic imbalances
from the body and thus regain resistance and good health.
Kerala’s equable climate, natural abundance of forests and the cool monsoon season (June-November)
are best suited for Ayurvedic curative and restorative packages. Kerala is the only State in India which
practices this system of medicine with absolute dedication.
Detailed analysis of the foreign and domestic non-Keralite tourist trips visiting Ayurveda Centres were
