More about Athreya Ayurvedic Centre
At Athreya Ayurvedic Centre, Kumarakom, food is central to healing. Meals are customized to each guest’s constitution (Prakriti) and treatment plan, using time-tested Ayurvedic principles to stimulate rejuvenation, detoxification, and long-term wellness.
Core Dietary Principles Followed at Athreya
Athreya’s dietary guidance is rooted in classical Kerala Ayurveda and is based on centuries of successful health practices. Below are the fundamental principles and recommendations:
Daily Food Habits & Recommendations
Wholesome Ayurvedic Meals: Served fresh and aligned with your treatment plan, meals are designed to balance the six Ayurvedic tastes—sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent, and astringent—for complete nourishment.
Early & Light Dinner: Dinner is recommended in moderate quantities at least 3 hours before bedtime—enough to satisfy hunger but not cause heaviness.
Warm Herbal Water: Sipping hot water infused with dry ginger and coriander seeds helps clear congestion, supports digestion, and improves detoxification. Drink at bedtime and upon waking.
Avoid at Night:
Oily or deep-fried foods
Non-vegetarian items (meat, fish)
Curd/yogurt, vinegar-based items, cheese
Ice-cold beverages or citrus combined with dairy
Heavy-to-digest or gas-producing foods
Bedtime Oil Application: Applying 10–15 drops of Ksheerabala Thailam or coconut oil to the crown (bregma) for 30 minutes before sleep promotes deep rest (except for those with cold, edema, or respiratory concerns—castor oil is advised instead).
Avoid Frequent Snacking: Maintain a 3–6 hour gap between meals unless diabetic or extremely hungry. Avoid unnecessary fasting.
Superfoods Recommended:
Curry leaves & garlic (10g) – detox support; avoid garlic if prone to heat or ulcers
Sesame seed paste (10–20g) – bone nourishment (on an empty stomach)
Green gram soup (Mudga) – protein-rich and tissue-building
Indian gooseberry (Amla), pomegranate, honey, cow ghee – daily use in proper doses
Rock salt – limited to 1–2g/day for internal balance
Weekly Juice Detox: A once-a-week juice-only day (e.g., pomegranate, aloe vera, or amla) is recommended. Avoid combining citrus juices like pineapple or lemon with dairy.
Probiotic Support: Buttermilk (lassi), preferably processed with turmeric and curry leaves, supports digestion and metabolic balance.
Ideal Meal Pattern:
Hearty breakfast (if hungry)
Moderate lunch
Very light or negligible dinner
Sleep & Screen Hygiene for Optimal Digestion
Sleep Matters: Delayed or inadequate sleep disrupts digestion, reduces immunity, and accelerates aging.
Digital Detox: Disconnect from screens at least 2 hours before sleep. Use Yoga Nidra audio (provided at check-in) to unwind and reduce stress.
Foods to Avoid During Treatment
Bakery items, maida-based foods, and junk food
Carbonated or artificially sweetened drinks
Heavy meals when not hungry
Cheese and fermented dairy at night or early morning
At Athreya, every meal is a medicinal experience, crafted to align your internal rhythm with nature and support your healing journey. Guests are lovingly guided on how to carry these practices into their daily lives for sustainable wellness.

Athreya also revives Kutee Praveshika Rasayana, a rare and ancient anti-ageing treatment once practiced by Himalayan yogis. This powerful therapy is designed to restore vitality, slow down ageing, and boost long-term well-being. It represents a level of Ayurvedic care that few centres in the world offer today.
Yoga at Athreya is not just a physical routine; it is a way of life. Guided by experienced instructors, the sessions integrate physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation to nurture the body, mind, and spirit—promoting inner balance and mental clarity.
With deep clinical expertise, a legacy of Ayurvedic wisdom, and a strong commitment to holistic healing, the doctors at Athreya offer clear, actionable guidance to help each guest achieve long-term health and wellness.

I have been visiting Athreya since 2015, and in November 2023, it was my 5th visit to the place. The place is a blessing in my life, and whenever I require cure or rejuvenation, I come here. For people who are looking for ayurveda treatment, this is one of the best places to be in India. Dr. Sreejit, the chief physician, is highly skilled in the field whose understanding of patients' problems and its solution are sometimes astounding. My experience is that he goes far beyond general consultation and treatment and helps people in every possible way during and after the stay, which is very essential for overall well-being in the long term. Over the years, I came across many repeat patients from across the world and have witnessed the team and place evolved, which is good to keep up with changing time. As an Indian I would say that the price is reasonably placed, given that it includes accommodation, food, treatments, medicines during the stay, and the exceptional service provided by all the staff. I have firmly believed that similar to financial investment, one needs to invest in health regularly to keep getting return in the long term. I must also point out that the place is not a fancy 4 or 5 star hotel but people who are genuinely looking for Ayurveda treatment and well being, this is a beautiful place made of traditional cottages with modern amenities in a village setting with high attention from doctors and staffs. As a regular visitor, I hope the feedback helps readers in make their own decision and my high recommendation for the place as always!

First of all, the head doctor Dr. Sreejit is utmost professional and cares only about the welfare of his patients. Also, he’s a very devout and spiritual person, hence I cannot recommend his service highly enough; he is the real deal. I just want to say thank you to Athreya Ayurvedic Centre. Thank you for restoring my energy levels. It’s been an incredible journey! Now granted all the stuff they do is not easy, but totally worth it in the end. Gotta have a sense of humor about it all, I think. There’s Hatcha Yoga that’s available twice a day (5:45am and 5pm) and that’s been amazing. It was the first time in my life doing Hatha Yoga and it went from being extremely challenging to challenging and I loved it. Also, last but not least, the people I met there have been really instrumental in me getting back so much healthier than when I first got there, so I’m really glad that I did socialize quite a bit, as per Dr. Sreejit’s sincere recommendation. Again he was quite right in that “There’s a lot of high spirit people here”. Met so many incredible people and made friends.

I am from Canada and I stayed at Athreya for two weeks to undergo cleansing and address a couple of my concerns - issues with sleep and hormonal imbalance. This was the first time that I went for a treatment of this kind. This was one the most rewarding experiences I ever had. Of course, I had my anxiety when I started the process of contacting Athreya about the process. But, they made the process very smooth and easy. I got to talk to Dr. Sreejit ahead of time about my concerns and goals I wanted to achieve. He provided a realistic projection of what is possible and how long I would need to stay there. This helped me to plan my trip without so much difficulty. Dr. Anju from Athreya guided me every step of the way. Right after the moment I arrived at Athreya, my treatment started immediately. They didn't waste any time. After two weeks, I felt so much better physically, mentally and emotionally. Athreya takes a holistic approach in treating people. The resort is a somewhat controlled environment, which is great. They provide you all three meals (veg of course, but delicious). In this process, you will slowly adapt into a much healthier lifestyle. The resort staff is some of the kindest and sweetest people you would ever find. Very relaxed atmosphere. They offer yoga every day. Dr. Sreejith conducts a healing ritual (burning fire) every evening. You will have a consultation with either Dr.Sreejit or Dr. Jeyalakshmi everyday. They are willing to make adjustments to your treatment plan or speed up the treatment based on how you make progress. I find their approach is very realistic and well organized. You will be informed of every step of your treatment plan a head of time. Your treatment will be customized to your needs. Dr. Sreejit and Dr. Jeyalakshmi are wonderful people and very knowledgeable doctors. They deeply care about every guest who stays at Athreya. Dr. Sreejit's sincerely and passionately work hard to provide a quality life through healing to everyone who comes to Athreya. And the therapists are very kind and skillful. The moment you arrive at Athreya, you will feel at home and I promise this. I not only felt better physically, but also felt so much happier on my last day there. You must have this experience at least once in your life time. For me, I would certainly come back again!
