DIVYA SPA, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM

Ayurveda or 'the knowledge of life' is India's biggest export to the west. Kerala and Ayurveda are synonyms and that?s a known fact. The Divya Spa at the Leela Kovalam is all set to re-define the art of ancient luxury. The spa treatment begins with a relaxing yoga and meditation session in their yoga hall. A quick scan through their spa menu reveals that they have everything you could ask for in terms of an authentic Ayurvedic pampering session. There's a whole list of traditional treatments. Start with an Abhayangam which increases immunity and should be done every day. The body is massaged with medicated herbal oils taking away the physical and mental fatigue while improving the blood circulation and eyesight. It is also a wonderful cure for insomnia. Their signature treatment is the Chavittithirummu where the masseur stands on you holding on to a rope and massages you with his toes.

The pressure points on your body are stimulated to improve blood circulation. This massage is also called the Kalari massage as it's given to those who practice martial arts. In addition to the massages are the detox and destress programmes.

The Urovasthi is a medicated oil treatment advisable for those with muscular chest pain and asthma patients. Before every therapy their in-house Ayurvedic doctor examines you and suggests what sort of treatment will suit your body.
