Medical Tourism


In today’s fast moving world of technology, we live our lives without knowing the consequences and health hazards we may imbibe in the course of accomplishing goals and meeting deadlines.

Most people are less active than they should be. The diet one follows knowingly or unknowingly lead to various lifestyle diseases at a younger age. As a consequence there is a greater risk of heart disease and other serious illnesses, as well as weight problems and even obesity but the good news is we can do something about it.

Taking care of ones self at home is easy but gets difficult on the move specially in today’s world where most professions require extensive travel and living at a Home away from Home. Do hotels today take utmost care of guest? The hotel staff will go to any extent while providing best services to guest, as guest satisfaction is their motto, which is followed in all brands of Hotels, All national and International chain of hotels provide the best of services to guest from amenities to food, but do they really take care of hotels guest and identify the dietary needs, provide health drinks and treatments to guest and give them a rejuvenating experience so as to make them genuinely feel taken care off and giving them health and value added experience .

The world looks at India as the epicenter of health tourism. Kerala  is known for healthy living and health treatments offered through ages. The life expectancy here is higher than other parts of India and the health care system receives regular International appraise. Traditional medicine namely Ayurvedic medicine has been widely practiced here. A number of ayurvedic resorts cater to tourist with in depth treatment plans drawn from ancient ayurveda are followed.

Western health spas are also wide spread in India. Many upscale hotels operate their own Spa facilities, steam treatments, Massage and aromatherapy are commonly provided in regular Spas. Both medical and mainstream tourist pause for an opportunity to experience and pamper themselves while in India at the Wildflower Hall Spa in Shimla, Ananda in the Himalayas Spa at Rishikesh, and many more.
