Description
The Panchakarma Programme at Aanandakosha Ayurveda Retreat in Kerala offers a profound Ayurvedic detoxification and rejuvenation experience, deeply rooted in classical texts such as the Charaka Samhita, Susruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridaya. Intended for individuals who are physically and mentally fit to undergo this intensive treatment, the programme begins with Poorvakarma, the preparatory phase that involves both internal and external oleation (Snehana) and therapeutic sweating (Swedana) to prepare the body for cleansing.
The core of the programme follows the five classical Panchakarma therapies—Abhyanga (herbal oil massage), internal oleation with medicated ghee, Virechana (purgation), Vasti (medicated enemas), and Nasya (nasal cleansing). These treatments are carefully selected based on a personalised assessment conducted by the resident Ayurvedic physician, who evaluates the individual’s dosha imbalances, dhatu strength, digestive fire (Agni), immunity (Ojas), and mental clarity (Sattva).
The final phase, known as Paschatkarma, focuses on internal restoration through dietary regulation, herbal medications, and corrective therapies designed to maintain balance and support long-term wellness. This structured and authentic approach allows guests to undergo deep purification, revitalisation, and holistic transformation in the serene surroundings of Kerala.More -

The wonderful team of Ayurveda and the food department made this destination exceptional. Arrived at this heaven with some expectation of coming out of my chronic fatigue syndrome and Dr. Manish identified and corrected the issue with his knowledge and experience. He is a doctor with lots of patience and made my treatment plan with utmost care and daily follow-ups. I spent a good 14 days as suggested by him and the end result is magical. I am what I used to be, the energetic same old person. The food curated by the team is tasty and fresh, they have a good garden with mangos, coconut, bananas, and some vegetables. Every team member from housekeeper to a therapist is caring and supportive. The location is good away from the beach but at the same time, you enjoy your sunset sea view from your own balcony. A clean and beautiful pool, a garden, and more or less a calm and relaxing atmosphere. The place is good for anyone looking for value for money.More

Thank you team aanandakosha for the hospitality and care you offered from your heart. Such a beautiful team of professionals, doctors, therapist, chef and all others did the magic of providing me more than what is needed from my long awaiting retreat. Economical, affordable, easily adaptable procedures and the beautiful location and much higher positive energy of the place is commedable. Everyone is so sweet and adorable. If you are looking for a real, mind blowing retreat, this Aanandakosha is the place. I booked my next year 21 days with them without any hesitations.
