Medical tourism and ayurveda

Medical tourism is gaining momentum as cost of treatment is going up,so people are searching for cheaper destinations where they can get quality treatment ,as people look out for these kind alternatives, ayurveda fits into that as an alternative method of treatment (it is sad to hear that ayurveda is classified under alternative system ,when the system can offer cure for some disease where the main stream methods cant offer much help now) ,i am drifting from my subject ,coming back to the point ayurveda is going to a big of chunk of medical tourism as many big players are vying for the lions share f the market ,it is the time as competition increases quality of service will increase along with that ,new innovative methods will be tried ,money will flow in and once the money flows rest will be taken care of .So watch for this interesting space lot of things going on in the background ,many big hotel groups have in house ayurveda rejuvenation programmes going on ,and the new players are learning the tricks of the trade .Between Delhi's crushing crowds and Mumbai's glamour and glitz -- not to mention the countless temples and castles -- there's no shortage of exotic attractions for travelers in India. But a growing number of visitors are spending less time at the Taj Mahal, and are instead seeking out the medical and spiritual benefits of traditional Ayurvedic treatment at the high-end spas popping up all over India.
Ayurveda, which literally means "knowledge of life," originated in South India more than 5,000 years ago and is considered a longevity science in the subcontinent. In simple (and possibly overly brief) terms, Ayurveda says the body consists of three main aspects: vata, pitta and kapha. These can come out of alignment due to pollution, stress, disease and even just the strain of everyday life. The goal of an Ayurvedic practitioner, then, is to rebalance to this system -- thereby bringing the subject back to his or her "true self."
