The pandemic has fuelled several physical and mental health issues, and a clear outcome has been to return to one's roots. And in India, Ayurveda, a 5000-plus-year-old science, has been at the forefront courtesy of its holistic power and natural healing capabilities.

RETURN TO ROOTS

Ayurveda, the ancient Indian healing technique, addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of our well-being. The Ayurvedic way of life helps strengthen and fortify our body against diseases and viruses using natural ingredients and techniques. Ayurveda's key principle to stay healthy is to keep the body in a state of balance, a balance of everyone's bio-energies or tridoshas. "This balance can be achieved through the detox and panchakarma programme that we offer at SwaSwara, a CGH Earth experience in Gokarna, Karnataka. Ayurveda addresses the mind as well. A happy and content mind is key to being healthy. Post-pandemic, we see an increasing number of people choosing SwaSwara as a natural sanctuary to relax, reset and refocus. A soul-searching holiday to reconnect with the real you. At CGH Earth's SwaSwara, one can choose wellness programmes that are relaxing, rejuvenating and curative in nature," says Sidarth Dominic, CEO, CGH Earth Wellness.
