Ayurvedic treatments are forms of recovery according to the ancient Ayurvedic teachings that have been developed in India and Sri Lanka. They are holistic healing methods that aim not only to relieve symptoms, but also to recognize the origin of diseases and ailments. Ayurvedic teaching is medicine, philosophy of life and healthy lifestyle at the same time.
What types of Ayurvedic treatments are there?
A classic Ayurvedic treatment is a very individual process in which each person is considered as an individual with their own history and environment.
The special feature of Ayurvedic treatments is the high degree of individualization. Not only the treatments themselves, but also the herbs and oils used can be specially adapted and put together for each guest. In addition, the sympathy of Ayurvedic doctors and therapists is simply legendary, something we are used to from many parts of the world today and that we love even more.
Where do Ayurvedic treatments come from?
Ayurvedic treatments are based on Ayurvedic teachings. The word “Ayurveda” (Sanskrit, m., आयुर्वेद) translated means “knowledge of life” and is therefore a traditional teaching of health. The origins of Ayurvedic teachings date back to the 2nd millennium BC and the oldest health texts can be dated in the year 500 BC. These teachings have been developed and refined to this day. Although it probably originates from northern India, Ayurveda is lived and applied today with special intensity in Kerala, southern India and Sri Lanka.
Where can I perform Ayurvedic treatments?
Those who want to enjoy and experience Ayurvedic treatments at their place of origin should book a trip to India or Sri Lanka. There Ayurvedic treatments are traditionally the most authentic and widespread. Since Ayurvedic treatments are so popular worldwide, other health hotels around the world have long developed a taste for traditional Ayurvedic treatments. When this occurs at a high level, there is usually a whole team of doctors and therapists who have been trained in India or Sri Lanka and have many years of experience, as well as Ayurvedic chefs.
Who are Ayurvedic treatments good for?
The decision on which Ayurvedic treatment is best for you lies with the Ayurvedic doctor. It also determines the number and order of Ayurvedic treatments. This occurs after the so-called “initial consultation”. This should be compared to “history” when visiting a new doctor. Together they talk about their medical history, their current health problems and what they expect from Ayurvedic treatment.
Tip: Be prepared, open and honest. If you do not tell the doctor that your lower back “kills” you, he will not be able to help you get rid of this pain.

The treatment plan established by the doctor is usually not carved in stone and, in general, the doctor will talk with you every few days to ask how the current treatment is affecting you, what is good for you and what is not it is. The plan will be adjusted according to your comments. The longer the treatment lasts, the better the result.
Who performs Ayurvedic treatments / applications?
The Ayurvedic doctor will prepare the treatment plan and determine the oils and herbs that will be used especially for you. Ayurvedic therapists carry out the treatments. Like the doctor, they are extensively trained for this, have studied at the Ayurveda academies and have years of experience.
Attention: In India and Sri Lanka in general, men treat men and women treat women. If men should massage women (because they have more strength), then women are asked in advance and must agree. For cultural reasons, women never massage or treat men. Nor is it appreciated when men explicitly ask that women give them massages.
