So relaxing, but travelling to Kerela is not possible often so I found a places in Bangalore. I also do a lot of background check about how professional the ayurveda place is. I found AyurVAID Hospitals, they are government certified ayurveda hospital, so i know I will be handled by professionals. I must say the massage technique was amazing and everything was done so hygienically. Later I also got treated for my back ache problem in Ayurvaid Hospital ayurvaid.com and I could see that Ayurveda works and the doctors took great care of me 🙂 you can get in touch with them and get an appointment for the most relaxing massage.
