Traditional health care packages - Ayurvedic Retreats
The term Ayurveda means 'Ayuh' (life) and 'Veda' (science). Therefore Ayurveda
= Science of Life.Buddhism influenced the advent of Ayurveda in Sri Lanka
in the 3rd century BC. The ancient Kings of Sri Lanka contributed to the development
of Ayurveda. e.g. King Pandukabaya set up hospitals in Ritigala.King Buddhadasa
was an eminent physician himself and was famed for treating soldiers, horses
and elephants.
As the 21st Century came near to a start, We find an increasingly
health conscious western searching for effective alternatives to the rising
cost and unhealthy side effect of modern medicine. In Sri Lanka ,on the other
hand, we have had for the last couple of millennia a “user-friendly”form
of traditional medicine called “AYURVEDA” that is still practiced
throughout the country. over 75% of island’s population depends on it.
It is and ancient system of medicine which developed in the Indian sub Continent
centuries before the so-called “farther of medicine”,Hippocrates,
was born in Europe. The name comes from two Sanskrit word ayuh (life) and
veda (science or knowledge).It is basically a science of healthy living and
has two aims.
1) To preserve health
2) To cure the body when afflicted by disease
