Sri Lanka - Yoga under palm trees – with Ayurvedic treatment in harmonic balance

Ommm ... Everything flows. The power is in the relaxation and deep breathing, 7am with Yoga at the pool under palm trees.

The humid and warm climate of Sri Lanka is the perfect place to detoxify the body, mind and soul with a Ayurvedic cure. A pleasant side effect: the skin is firmer, and the pounds tumble without starving.

Peace in mind

Rattling "tuk tuks", honking buses, cows on the streets, countless temples - this is Sri Lanka. The journey from the airport to Wadduwa takes about one and a half hours, and suddenly there is total silence. I am on an inconspicuous way and reach after ten minutes the Siddhalepa Ayurveda Health Resort, which is located on the Indian Ocean, surrounded by a park with 300 different tropical tree species.

Ayurveda is the "science of long life". Same as the cosmos consist the human being of earth, water, fire, air and space, says the doctrine. To be healthy, it is important to bring the three doshas (bio-energy) Vata, Pitta and Kapha each type accordingly in a harmonious balance.

Vata stands for easily stressed, Pitta is more of a fiery type. Westerner usually have a high proportion of Kapha. That is, they are a bit sluggish and a little thick for Asian standards. The Ayurvedic doctor clarified the treatment after a thorough medical history, including pulse diagnosis.

Body, head and foot massage with herbal oils for cleaning and rejuvenation, Ayurvedic medicines prescribed by your doctor for the diet and menu to ensure that body and soul is in flow. In the “Green Award” awarded resort you can choose at the Ayurvedic buffet between Dhal Curry, various fish, vegetable curries, fresh food and so on. This Dosha Balancing is a pleasure and almost free of grease, what I learn at a cooking class.

Skilful hands loosen the muscles while massaging with plenty of herbal oil and small bag full of herb rice muscles, herbal baths provide relaxation. Shirodhara (forehead oil) and Sunday Meditation create peace in your mind. Who does not Ayurveda, enjoy the delicious international cuisine at the beach restaurant.

Five Ayurvedic doctors and 16 therapists work at the resort. In the factory you learn a lot about the preparation of Ayurvedic Medicine. Aralu, Bulu and Nelli are called the "magic potion" from nature. They detoxify the body and the pounds melt away. Five kilos in 14 days!
