The concept for Keraveda was born during an extensive tour of India. What started as an exploration soon transformed into a revelation. India made us feel more alive and healthy and as we delved deeper we found our quest for a better quality of life answered. It was in the southern state of Kerala, also known as 'God's own Country' that we stumbled upon Ayurveda. It changed our basic philosophy of life. What we found is that Ayurveda; which encompasses all elements that affect our lives (the food we eat, level of exercise, the people we meet, where we live, the work we do) has an impact on our health and well-being. Having experienced its gentle ways first hand it was logical for us to think of bringing these benefits to the western world; which suffers the excesses of stress and a life in constant conflict with nature.
Keraveda was specifically created to provide a solution to the problems of the western world through using the wisdom of Ayurveda. The word Keraveda (Kera meaning coconut in Sanskrit and taken from Kerala, the birth state of Ayurveda) and (Veda meaning knowledge) literally means the knowledge of the coconut palm tree. It is the most abundant tree of the lush and tropical state of Kerala, a perfect symbol of completeness of nature, beauty and life. Every part of the tree has a special application where nothing is wasted. This complete usefulness became our inspiration.
