Ayurveda is a very effective system of health that is being more and more recognized in the West. It is one of the primary systems of health care in India, and has been used for thousands of years for all sorts of ailments and disorders. The Ayurvedic path has been much tread upon. Literally thousands of people have walked on it for thousands of years. Today Ayurveda is popular all over the world. Hospitals and clinics offer it, press reports it, researchers examine it, governments host it and people love it. Ayurveda has stood the test of time; and whether it was a favorable or unfavorable political or legal climate or not people continued to practise it privately and openly, from little clinics in India to large Spas all over the world. The word is out today — Try Ayurveda, it works. Its full effectiveness will depend on various considerations, including the age and state of health of the individual, how much effort they are willing to put into making the necessary changes.

Panchakarma is a medical treatment, so we chose a location that puts care first. A doctor sees you every day, our medical staff are here 24 hours, and the city's major hospitals are close by if you ever need a test or a specialist. We are 7 km from Trivandrum International Airport, so there is no long drive after your flight. Kovalam beach is about 40 minutes away by road for your rest days.
It depends on your health and what you want to address. Seven days suits a short cleanse or a first experience of Ayurveda. Fourteen days allows a fuller Panchakarma, with preparation, the main procedures and recovery. Twenty-one days is usually advised for long-standing conditions, such as joint, spine or digestive problems. Dr. Vijay will suggest the right length in your consultation, before you book your travel.
No. Most therapies, such as oil massage, Shirodhara and herbal steam, are relaxing.

If anything feels wrong, our medical staff are on site day and night.
