Ayurveda holidays to Kerala, south India with NEI (UK) - modern day ailments relieved by ancient treatments

If you are seeking a totally relaxing holiday,
                 one where a weight loss diet is normal and not at all hard work (though you will have to stay longer than 7 days!),
                                     complete with massages to help you destress,
                                                       where you can detox on a vegetarian diet designed specifically for you,
                                                                                    or, just flop on a beautiful beach or at a poolside in the sun,

but also be able to go on interesting day trips if you want,
then this might be just the holiday you are looking for.

    * The Hermitage is a non-smoking hotel.
    * All kitchen waste is recycled to provide bio-gas for cooking and heating.
    * All human waste is purified and used to water the garden.
    * All garden waste is recycled to make mature compost.
    * All burnable waste is incinerated on site.
    * Water is conserved.
    * The gardens are managed organically and kept free of pesticides and artificial fertilizers.
    * The site has been landscaped to encourage butterflies and a large range of local and migratory birds.
    * Neeleshwar Hermitage operates a strictly 'minimal plastic' policy. To this end they use bags made
       of cotton and recycled paper (which gives work to the local people).
    * Bottled water consumed by tourists generates a veritable mountain of plastic every single day.
      Accordingly, they have decided to forego the considerable profit gained from selling bottled water,
      and instead provide their guests drinking water purified on site by the most up-to-date method ('reverse
      osmosis'). This water comes in copper jugs which, according to Ayurveda, give it added nutritional
      value. Not only is this water safe, nutritious and delicious to drink, but it leaves no plastic footprint.

Neeleshwar Hermitage is a dreamy beach and spa hotel in North Kerala, set in a palm grove, just back from an unspoiled and safe beach
It has an immensely calm and peaceful atmosphere and has been constructed according to ancient architectural principles. The traditional, thatched cottages are large, airy and wonderfully inviting, comfortable and spacious. Each has its own verandah and most look straight out to sea. They have been beautifully designed and decorated with polished wood pillars, gleaming teak floors and stone, partially open-air bathrooms with state of the art fixtures and fittings. Deep mattresses and fine linen ensure a good night�s sleep after spending time in the spa and Ayurvedic centre.
Along with yoga, backwater cruises, long walks down the pristine beach, visits to local temples, forts and villages, a stay here also allows you to gain an insight into local culture.
