Ayurveda & Panchakarma

Classical Kerala therapies, prescribed by an Ayurvedic physician after consultation — never sold as a menu.

How it works here

Therapy follows diagnosis, not the other way round

Every therapy on this page is prescribed only after an Ayurvedic physician has assessed you. Your constitution, your current condition and anything you are already being treated for all shape what is chosen — and how long it runs.

Where you are also under psychiatric care, the two plans are agreed jointly. Ayurvedic treatment is offered alongside medication, never as a reason to stop it.

Shirodhara
Shirodhara

The therapy people come back for

A steady, warm stream of medicated oil across the forehead for around forty-five minutes. It is used for anxiety, persistent insomnia and the kind of stress that has stopped responding to rest alone.

It is not a spa treatment, though it is deeply relaxing. Used in a proper course, alongside the rest of your plan, it is one of the more reliable tools we have for sleep.

Before you book

Honest expectations

It takes time

Ayurveda works gradually. A single session feels good; a proper course is what changes things.

It is not a cure-all

We will tell you plainly when a condition needs modern medicine instead of, or as well as, therapy.

Diet and routine matter

Your physician will ask you to change some daily habits. That part is not optional.

Not sure which therapy you need?

That is exactly what the consultation is for. Book one, and the physician will tell you what — if anything — is worth doing.
