Treatment Overview

  • All treatments are supervised and directed by Swamiji.
  • Treatment will differ accordingly for each patient and will be performed by a highly experienced practitioner.
  • A varying number of treatments are available depending on each patient’s condition, their overall state of health, and the length of time available.
  • In conjunction with the treatment there will also be the administration of Ayurvedic herbal medicines when necessary. This shall be in consultation with Guruji, and an Ayurvedic Doctor if necessary.
  • Generally, three types of medicinal concoctions are used:
    Kashayam - Medicinal liquid concoction
    Lehayam - Medicinal Jelly Concoction
    Gulika - Medicinal Tablet Concoction
  • The ingredients used shall vary according to the needs of the individual patient.
  • Most of the medicines used are prepared by hand in the Ashram according to ancient recipes.
  • The food itself forms a large part of the treatment and should therefore be considered as medicine.
  • As well as treating specific physical complaints the treatments have a very powerful detoxifying effect. The extent of the detoxification is linked directly to the duration of the course of treatment.
  • All treatments begin with a consultation with Swamiji who will perform Nadi Nirmayam (pulse reading diagnosis). Through this Swamiji shall determine the nature of the complaint and decide upon the best course of treatment to be taken. The course of treatment can be adjusted to any length but there are recommended set durations.
  • Abhyanga (Full body oil massage) forms the basis of the treatment. This particular massage is generally performed in conjunction with Kizhi (Heated medicine packs) in order to maximize the healing effects to the patient.
  • Other treatments performed during some of the treatment courses include :
    Shiro Dhara - head oil bath
    Anga Dhara - Full body oil bath.
    Avi Chikilsa - Full body medicinal steam.
    Virechanam - Purgation
  • The exceptional peace and beauty of the Ashram surroundings are very conducive to both healing and relaxation. There are many beautiful areas to which one can retreat in order to enhance the experience of both the Ashram and the treatment.
