Why Kerala is Special for Ayurveda

Kerala is known as the "Cradle of Ayurveda". But why is this southern state so unique?

1. The Climate

The humid, tropical climate of Kerala is ideal for Ayurvedic treatments. It helps open the pores of the skin, allowing medicinal oils to be absorbed more effectively.

2. Rich Biodiversity

The Western Ghats, where Kurichiyil is located, is a biodiversity hotspot. We have access to fresh, potent herbs that are essential for preparing authentic medicines.

3. Unbroken Tradition

Unlike in northern India where Ayurveda faced disruptions, the tradition in Kerala has continued unbroken for centuries, preserved by families of Vaidyars (physicians).
