Varkala
Varkala is one of the best places in Kerala to experience authentic Kerala Ayurvedic treatments at clinics run by certified vaidyas. Abhyanga (full-body oil massage), Shirodhara, and Njavara treatments here use locally sourced herbs and oils prepared fresh — a world apart from commercial spa imitations.
Avoid eating a heavy meal at least 2 hours before any Ayurvedic treatment — a light stomach aids absorption.
