Ayurveda treatments - Yasmin Hill

Your beloved Galavilla Spa Boutique hotel is entering a new era. Now as Yasmin Hill, it will remain an amazing place to stay, but has become an oasis for inspiring retreats that enable you to touch longevity.

Ayurveda, an ancient system of medicine originating from the Indian subcontinent, has a tradition of more than two millennia.

Today, Sri Lanka is an important center of Ayurvedic medicine.

Three ancient techniques are combined here: traditional Sinhalese medicine hela wedakama, Indian Ayurveda and siddha, and all this is also supplemented by elements from Greek Unani medicine, which came here through the Arabs.

The combination of all these traditional methods has created a unique Sri Lankan Ayurveda, which you can revitalize here too.
