The term "Ayurveda" derives from Sanskrit, from the words Ayur, that is duration of life or longevity, and Veda, that is knowledge: it is therefore a question of "knowledge of life, or science of living", but not only this, because Ayurveda is a very large and complex medical system, including aspects of prevention, as well as care, which allows, if strictly applied, to live longer, to improve one's health and respect one's body.

The term "Ayurveda" derives from Sanskrit, from the words Ayur, that is duration of life or longevity, and Veda, that is knowledge: it is therefore a question of "knowledge of life, or science of living", but not only this, because Ayurveda is a very large and complex medical system, including aspects of prevention, as well as care, which allows, if strictly applied, to live longer, to improve one's health and respect one's body. 

Ayurveda is in fact concerned with the well-being of people from all points of view, therefore in their physical, mental and spiritual aspect: the purpose is to help sick people to heal themselves, and healthy people to maintain their well-being, preventing  diseases.

You'll be able to discover the secrets of Ayurveda and enjoy several beauty and health treatments by specialized professionals during this trip to Sri Lanka. Moreover, during this 6 days and 5 nights tour, you will visit several cultural cities, such as Dambulla, Anuradhapura, Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa.
