Every stay at our Ayurveda Village includes two daily therapeutic sessions as standard. We believe in intensive, focused care to ensure lasting results. Comprehensive Care: In total, you can expect between 90 and 120 minutes of actual treatment time per day. This may include specialised therapies such as Nasyam (nasal cleansing), Lepanam (herbal poultices), or other clinical procedures specifically prescribed by your physician.

Authentic Panchakarma Treatments in Kerala

Panchakarma—the five-fold detoxification process—is our medical speciality. To ensure a safe and effective detox, we connect you with our Senior Physician prior to your arrival to discuss your health history in complete confidence. Our Panchakarma programmes typically require a minimum of 10 days to allow the body to move through the stages of preparation, cleansing, and rejuvenation. You can schedule your pre-arrival online consultation via our Calendly link to begin your journey.

Variety of Treatments customised to you and your needs

Commence your wellness journey with a comprehensive consultation with our Ayurvedic doctor, where your Dosha is determined through a series of questions and examinations. Subsequently, the appropriate Panchakarma treatment will be discussed with you to address your specific concerns. It is also crucial to adhere to the diet plan suggested by the doctor to reap optimal benefits. Engage in relaxation activities, including Yoga (both Beginner & Advanced sessions available) and meditation, to experience holistic healing. At the end of your treatment, we will assess the overall progress and provide you with advice and lifestyle tips to enjoy sustained benefits.
