Ayurveda in Sri Lanka

Ayurveda in Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka’s traditional form of medicine, Ayurveda uses plants, herbs and oils in its treatments. Translated as the “science of life”, it works on the premise that the body is ruled by three doshas (humours): vata (air), pitta (bile or fire) and kapha (phlegm or earth). In medical terms, these refer to the nervous, digestive and immune systems respectively. Toxins, poor diet, bad digestion, lack of sleep and excess stress cause an imbalance of the doshas and lead to poor health. Ayurvedic treatments aim to balance the doshas and, thus, restore health. Ayurveda physicians prescribe customized treatment plans that include a special diet, while Ayurvedic centres in mid and top-range hotels offer practices aimed at relaxation, such as massages and skin treatments.

Panchabhutas, according to Hindu philosophy, are the five basic elements that make up the universe and all individuals. These are prithvi (earth), jal (water), teja (fire), vayu (air) an akash (ether).
