Ayurveda, with roots over 5000 years in India and Sri Lanka, emphasizes balance among the body’s three elements: Vatha (Air), Pitha (Bile), and Kaha (Phlegm). Maintaining this balance through natural herbs leads to longevity. The Ayurveda Museum in Dambana, Mahiyanganaya, offers a unique opportunity to explore this ancient science with historical exhibits, a herbarium, video presentations, and demonstrations of Ayurvedic treatment techniques like purwakarma and panchakarma. It’s a must-visit for those interested in holistic health and traditional medicine.
