In Indian and Sri Lankan cultures, humans are considered to be inter-connected with their environment. Ayurveda (which literally means ‘science of life’) is both a philosophy and a traditional medicine and it offers an array of benefits, from improving digestion to enhancing energy flow and re-establishing the connection between the body and the spirit. The discipline is winning over more and more devotees, who sometimes travel to Sri Lanka for Ayurvedic treatments, going on a journey both inside oneself and to the other side of the world.
