Sri Lanka has always been a place that refreshes not just the mind and body, but also the soul and
spirit. And for thousands of years, the most popular method used to restore and rejuvenate tired
bodies and weary souls has been Ayurveda – the oldest and most holistic medical system available
in the world
Sri Lanka has been a centre of spiritual and physical healing for 2,000 years. Ayurvedic programmes consist of a range of herbal treatments and various types of baths and massages, together with cleansing and revitalization techniques such as yoga, meditation and special diets.
Sri Lanka now has a number of spas, mainly on the west coast, which not only provide Ayurveda but also other Eastern and Western therapies, such as Thai massage, hydrotherapy, herbal baths, reflexology and beauty treatments. For those seeking spiritual nourishment, meditation courses are also available.
On the south coast of Sri Lanka, turtles have laid their eggs for generations.
Swimming in from the Indian Ocean, they drag themselves up the sand on the beaches near the city of Galle and dig their nests, where they leave the eggs.
Weeks later, their babies should hatch and make their way down to the coastline and into the water.
Not all baby turtles survive. In fact, the natural survival rate of newborn turtles around the world is normally around five per cent. This is all part of a balanced ecosystem, though.
Turtles usually lay more than a hundred eggs, so enough make it through to keep the species going. The rest become food for predators, which helps those species survive.
As is often the case, though, there’s one species that is ruining it all. Humans.
The turtles that lay their eggs on the Sri Lankan beaches are under threat because of human activity – and they have been for decades. But in more recent times, there have been some conservation efforts to try to address the crisis.
One of these efforts is the Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery. It was started almost 40 years ago and is still going today.
