Ayurveda which is a system of medicine, has varied and evolved for over two millennia and consists of therapies which are typically based on complex herbs, minerals and a properly balanced diet. Ayurveda medicine is still practised in Sri Lanka and is based on its indigenous heritage which has been preserved for over 3000 years. It is considered “a way of life” by many locals and has become an effective alternative to modern westernised medication.
The doctrine of the “Tri Dosha” (Three Vital Forces) - Vata (air), Pitta (bile) and Kapha (phlegm) energies can be considered as the cardinal rule in Ayurveda. When these three Doshas are out of balance, the body becomes weak which invites illness. Sri Lankan Ayurvedic practitioners start by studying the patient and then restoring their balance by treatments such as herbal portions, massages, nasal treatments, steam baths, oil treatments and balanced diets which consists of local produce, herbs and spices.
