Look for qualified Ayurvedic doctors (BAMS degree) rather than just spas or hotels offering 'Ayurvedic' massages. Some traditional centers and government-recognized hospitals offer authentic consultations and treatments. Tourist packages at hotels are often more about relaxation than traditional medicine. If you're seeking genuine treatment, research practitioners with proper qualifications and read recent reviews from people who went for health reasons rather than just wellness tourism. Some centers combine authentic treatments with comfortable accommodation. Word of mouth from people who have had positive medical outcomes is often more reliable than marketing.
