Food, often overshadowed in a bustling commercial world, assumes pivotal importance in Ayurveda. Classified based on natural elements and individual body constitutions (Doshas), Ayurveda advocates a mindful, respectful approach to eating. Tailoring specific diets to individual body types, it emphasizes the consumption of fresh, organic food, inviting a deeper, more engaged dining experience.
Understanding individual body constitutions (Doshas) remains fundamental to Ayurvedic principles. It eschews a one-size-fits-all approach, honoring the uniqueness of each person’s physical and mental traits.
Ayurveda urges heightened awareness of bodily signals and cues, crucial for the body's self-healing mechanisms. Neglecting these cues could lead to toxin accumulation, manifesting as diseases. Ayurveda champions mindfulness, aligning daily activities and breathing techniques with inner bio-energies and the environment.
In the Ayurvedic realm, the intricate connection between mind and body takes precedence. It champions holistic solutions for mental well-being, a stark contrast to the chemically induced approaches of modern medicine. By embracing age-old practices like Yoga, meditation, alongside right dietary choices and personalized breathing patterns, Ayurveda nurtures a healthy mind within a healthy body.
Sleep, often underestimated, holds a profound place in Ayurvedic philosophy. An understanding of sleep—its duration, timing, pre-sleep rituals, and dietary considerations—holds the key to overall health and individual constitutions.
Rooted in the belief of a Universal Life Force, Ayurveda intertwines this belief into its therapeutic methods. It encourages recognition of nature’s elements and cycles within our bodies, fostering a deep connection. Guiding individuals to acknowledge these natural elements within themselves, Ayurveda opens pathways to tap into these energies for a balanced, harmonious life.

My husband and I had a beautiful & holistic experience at Coconut Lagoon. We stayed here in the heritage bungalow for 4 days and each felt like a blessing. The property is more beautiful than the pictures online, the views are breathtaking and the vibe is magical. I will start with Soni who made us feel so welcome & cared for. She made sure we get to enter the resort via the jetty even though we were checking in late. The manager Lekha is humble, pleasant and though she’s wearing a mask, you know she’s always smiling. We opted for almost all the activities (included) like bird watching, butterfly garden, property tour. Both guides Umesh & Vishnu have studied environmental science, taught us a lot about the flora and fauna around. Our kayaking experience with the patient & punctual Sunil was really good too. And its not like activities were stuffed just for the sake of it. They all took their time and you can see how passionate they are about what they do! Our sunset cruise in the Vembanad lake gave me goosebumps because it was a treat to the eyes & the ears with live flute music and the colours of the sun teasing the waves. The restaurant food - elaborate buffet spread & ala carte, gives the true taste of Kerala along with continental varieties. The service is next level! They are polite, happy to serve and answer all your questions. Special mention for Amal here. Always super attentive, getting me another fork before I even had a chance to pick up my dropped one! I can never forget that. I recommend to go for a long stress relieving massage at their Ayurveda center. And yes, don’t miss Amma’s evening chai/coffee. From seeing kingfisher birds in action to drinking sweet coconut water - this property will heal you.More

Had an amazing experience at CGHEarth Kumarakom. Amenities, facilities, staff courtesy, location, rooms, hygiene - everything was awesome! Ayurvedic Spa was very good. They have some really nice activities like bird watching, property walk, indoor games, sunset cruise which were the highlights for our trip. Only suggestion is about the food. Food options for vegetarian guests were limited. Food was predominantly bland without much spice catering to foreign guests.
