and Veda (knowledge) is a form of indigenous medical
treatment known to Sri Lanka and India for over 3000
years. Modern day C21st. ayurvedic treatment or alternative
medicine based on natural healing has 2 aims: to preserve
health - wellbeing and cure a body afflicted by disease
or stress.

health resorts designed for foreign tourists to restore their
general well being.

Nature to remain healthy and balanced so too do human beings
despite industrialization.

treating the root causes of illness in both mind and body.

using the inherent principles of nature.
