Ayurveda Traditional Medicine Conference in Colombo – encouraging a natural lifestyle

The International Conference on Ayurveda, Traditional Medicine and Medicinal plants was recently held in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The conference provided a platform for academics, researchers and practitioners to come together and discuss their opinions, research findings and leading innovations. Ayurveda is an ancient wellness system which dates back over 3000 years. In Sri Lanka an Ayurveda hotel,such as the Jetwing Ayurveda Pavilions, for example, is extremely popular among travellers due in part to the large interest in this non-invasive, wellness practice. According to Ayurvedic practices, the best way to cure and help maintain a person’s health is by keeping the individual’s body, mind and spirit in harmony with nature. Ayurveda promotes the use of natural medicinal plants, over conventional pharmaceutical drugs, to help treat ailments, along with a clean diet and healthy lifestyle.
