Birthplace of Ayurveda and Yoga
India offers an opportunity to experience Ayurveda and Yoga within the cultural and environmental setting from which these systems originated.
Heal in India: Experience Ayurveda, Yoga and Holistic Wellness

National Vision
India's Vision for Holistic Health
India’s traditional healthcare knowledge is increasingly relevant to people looking for more balanced and sustainable approaches to wellbeing. The Heal in India initiative promotes India as a global destination for quality healthcare and wellness services, covering two complementary areas:
Medical Tourism
Medical tourism generally involves travelling for clinical consultation, diagnosis, surgery, rehabilitation or specialist medical care.
Wellness Tourism
Wellness tourism focuses on preventive wellbeing, healthier routines, rejuvenation and traditional practices such as Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy and meditation.
Atmabodh’s residential programs primarily fall within the wellness and AYUSH-based care segment. They are structured around assessment, scheduled therapies, nutrition, physical activity, rest and lifestyle education. Learn more from the Government of India’s Heal in India portal and the official Medical and Wellness Tourism overview.
India’s Heal in India vision highlights Ayurveda, holistic health and traditional wellness systems as important strengths that can serve people globally.
“Heal in India, Heal by India”
India’s contribution to global health extends beyond providing services within the country. Its traditional knowledge, trained professionals, research, wellness practices and health products are also increasingly reaching people internationally. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has highlighted Ayurveda, holistic health and the Heal in India movement as important strengths that India can share with the world. This broader vision is often described through two complementary ideas:
- Heal in India: Welcoming international guests seeking healthcare, AYUSH treatments and wellness programs in India.
- Heal by India: Sharing India’s knowledge, trained healthcare workforce, traditional systems, research and wellness solutions with the world.
Atmabodh Wellness Center supports this broader vision by making structured Ayurveda, Naturopathy and Yoga-based wellness programs accessible to Indian and international guests.
This statement describes alignment with the broader Heal in India vision. It does not imply that Atmabodh Wellness Center is an official government partner or representative.
Why India
Why International Guests Choose India for Wellness
Integrated wellness approach
Residential programs can combine therapies, food, physical activity, Yoga, rest and lifestyle education within one structured schedule.

India has an extensive ecosystem of Ayurveda doctors, Yoga professionals, Naturopathy practitioners, therapists and wellness institutions.
Quality and standardisation
Accreditation and quality-assurance frameworks are helping international guests make better-informed decisions when selecting healthcare and wellness providers.
Dedicated AYUSH visa category
The Government of India introduced the Ayush Visa category in July 2023 for eligible foreign nationals seeking treatment under recognised Indian systems of medicine, along with an attendant category.
