Authentic Ayurveda is a medical practice, not just a spa day. A genuine center will have a certified Ayurvedic physician on staff who will check your pulse (Nadi Pariksha) and determine your Dosha before any treatment begins. If a place just hands you a laminated menu with prices for "relaxing oil massages," it is a tourist trap.

Look for centers registered with the Department of Ayurveda Sri Lanka. They will proudly display their certificate.

Avoid any place recommended by a random tuk-tuk driver. They are just taking you there for the commission.
