Ayurveda is a holistic system of medicine. It sees that the two main areas that affect our health and wellness are the foods we eat and the lifestyle we live. By changing our nutritional protocol and lifestyle, we can greatly influence our physical, mental, and emotional health.
The word Ayurveda means “the knowledge of life”. It is not merely a form of medicine that deals with the physical body alone. It understands that there are energetic forces that influence nature and human beings and sees a strong connection between the mind and the body. Therefore Ayurveda treatment also involves methods of relaxation, meditation and stress relief.
Herbal baths, massages, eye-baths and various other Ayurvedic techniques are employed in these resorts. Meditation and short lectures on Ayurveda are offered for those who wish to explore the subject at greater detail. The Siddhalepa Ayurveda Health Resort is one such establishment.

Ayurveda is the unique ancient herbal medicine and health philosophy of Sri Lanka. Ayurveda is based on the ancient Wisdom of good living and has roots deep in the history that gave birth to Buddhism in Sri Lanka. The means of healing available in nature, like herbs and spice, plants, leaves, flowers, oil extracts, gems and stones are combined with secrets passed down from generation to generation for 2,500 years to revitalize the essence of the body’s potential. It provides both a health therapy for general well being and a medical therapy as an efficacious cure.
Ayurveda is a health system that has been practiced in Sri Lanka and India for ages. It relies solely on natural medicine. Ayurveda has helped even in cases that seemed hopeless where western medicine has failed. It does not give the patient local treatment of individual organs, but treats him as a whole.
The Ayurvedic remedies act on the total body, strengthen the power of resistance and promote healing. Ayurveda is conducive to your health, provides you with new vital energy, prevents and corrects the ageing process.
An Ayurveda treatment helps combat chronic illnesses and at the same time frees you from psychological burdens. Ayurveda among other things provides swift relief in cases of rheumatic diseases such as arthrosis (signs of over- strain in spine and joints), arthritis, muscle tenseness, restriction of movement, disturbances of the vegetative nervous system such as disturbed sleep, nervousness, exhaustion, tiredness, excitability or irritability, migraine and other forms of headache, heart ailments connected to nervousness, high blood pressure, depression, chronic inflammation such as para nasal sinus inflammation, bronchitis, inflammation of the bladder, susceptibility to colds, skin diseases like eczema, psoriasis, skin allergy, asthma, stomach or intestinal disorders, overweight or nicotine misuse.
Ayurveda is recommended to all those seeking inward balance, a long and healthy life and to all those who like to experience the fullness of life.
