Ayurveda practice in Kerala is quite well known and today is the time when Ayurveda is no more just perceived to be an alternative therapy to get rid of various forms of diseases but viewed as a solution to ensure overall wellness. Before the practice of Ayurveda in Kerala, it was a traditional form of medicine deeply rooted in the culture of Dravidian societies. There were three main therapies namely Ezhava, Mannan and Velan; the former was practiced as a general medicine therapy and the other two were practiced for treating pregnancy related problems. Apart from this, there were special treatments to cure snakebites and other poison related issues.
The tradition of Ayurveda is almost 5000 years old in India, however it came to Kerala during the period between 5 -7th century AD at the time of spread of the twin cultures of Buddhism and Jainism. With the settlement of Brahmins in Kerala, the popularity of Ayurveda grew. By the 14th century, there was immense use of Sanskrit language among the non Brahmins and this paved way for more and more people to read and grasp the text of the ayurveda samhitas. So, this is how Ayurveda started in Kerala.
In the contemporary time, Ayurveda has gained lot of significance. Ayurveda as a holistic approach towards better living is finding its way everywhere.
