Health and
wellness tourism is now an international trend set by the health conscious
consumers seeking to enhance their well being through their travel experiences.
People seeks to look and feel better, to lose weight, to slow the effects of
aging, to relieve pain or discomfort, to manage stress, or to partake in the
use of natural supplements like vitamins and minerals to improve their health.
Resorts and
hotels are joining the health spa development craze, although only some resorts
are moving into the scope of services currently offered by destination spas.
Likewise, a growing number of day spas are adding health and wellness
programming options.
A
distinction is made between the health and the wellness aspects. Health tourism
refers to those clients with medical conditions who would travel to experience
healing therapies. A person who seeks a wellness travel experience, is
generally healthy to start with, and seeks therapies to maintain his or her
well being.
In today's
fast moving lifestyle, there is nothing more essential than caring for our
physical and mental well-being. SPA & WELLNESS HOLIDAYS offers wellness
renewal solutions to meet every need and budget.

Ayurveda in
Sri Lanka.
Ayurveda or
a traditional medicinal treatment in Sri Lanka is practiced for many centuries.
Ayurveda or herbal medicine is also referred as alternative medicine. Sri
Lankan Ayurvedic tradition also follows its own indigenous Desheeya Chikitsa.
The word
Ayurveda has derived from Sanskrit words Ayuh and Veda meaning life and
knowledge respectively. With Ayurveda treatments, diseases are cured and this
medicinal science practiced from ancient times also aims at preserving health.
In Sri Lanka the tradition of herbal treatment or Ayurveda has been followed
for generation after generation and it is believed this practice started almost
3,000 years back. Sarartha Sangrahaya written by famous Sri Lankan physician -
King Buddhadasa is often followed by present day physicians for ayurvedic
treatments. Many Sri Lankan kings were also known as reputed physicians. The
ayurveda practitioners and healers in Sri Lanka occupied respectable positions
in the Sri Lankan society. The ruin of Mihintale in Sri Lanka is considered to
be an ancient hospital.
Ayurveda
treatment in Sri Lanka besides healing also aims at rejuvenating the body. In
Sri Lankan Ayurvedic treatment centers, one can insist for ayurvedic body
massage, leg massage, arm massage, facial treatment, head oil application,
ayurvedic bath, steam bath and similar rejuvenating treatments. Nowadays the
Ayurveda hotels and health resorts of Sri Lanka have become popular to the
tourists.
We are
beginning to discover nature thing’s through nature...

and lovers, all can benefit from this powerful form of communication , an

and aching muscles, relieving headaches and helping sleep problems . But
massage is also invigorating it improves the functioning of many of the body’s
systems ,promotes healing and tones muscles ,leaving you with a feeling of
renewed energy.
The human
touch.
The sense of
touch is a powerful and highly sensitive form of communication. It is a natural
reaction to reach out and touch , whether to feel the shape or texture of
smoothing ,or to respond to another person, perhaps by comporting them. A
mother coddler her baby , family pets are stroked ,sexual partners caress and
if we accidentally knock a limb ,we instinctively “rub it better”.
To touch
someone can mean various things in different cultures. There are many social
restrains which inhibit touching in public. For us a formal hand shake, nod of
the head, and even a peek on each check are all recognized forms of greeting
and yet you can carry them out without showing any real emotion. Indeed our rather formed approach to
physical contact is contrary to our most basic instincts and needs. Fortunately
we are now rediscovering the healing power of massage and other touch therapies
which have been understood in other cultures for thousands of years.

essence of aromatic plants have been prized for thousands of years for their
health-giving properties and heady scents. Discover the ancient art of
Aromatherapy , refined over the centuries

An ancient
art.
The value of
natural plant, oils has been recognized for more than 6000 years, for their
healing, cleansing, preservative and mood-enhancing properties as well as for
the sheer pleasure of their fragrances. Today these properties are being
rediscovered as we look to the wisdom of past eras and civilizations to restore
the balance that has been lost in modern day life. Stress, Pollution, unhealthy
diet, hectic but sedentary life styles- all these factors have adverse effects
on our bodies and spirits. The art of Aromatherapy harnesses the potent pure
essences of aromatic plants, flowers, and resins, to work on the most powerful
of senses –smell and touch to restore the harmony of body and mind.
