Bodhi Ayurveda Hospital & Research Center is a dedicated wellness destination focused on holistic healing through authentic Ayurvedic practices. Rooted in tradition and guided by personalised care, the centre offers carefully tailored treatments, therapies, and wellness programs designed to restore balance and support overall well-being. Time-tested methods and natural ingredients are used to address a wide range of health concerns, from long-term conditions to preventive care, while remaining deeply aligned with the classical wisdom of Ayurveda.
The foundations of Bodhi Ayurveda are shaped by a rich lineage that spans over eight decades. The journey began nearly eighty years ago when the Late Ettungapady Kunjan, drawing on his deep understanding of Ayurvedic raw materials, pioneered the preparation of medicines in a small room near his home in Kalady, Ernakulam. His vision of sharing the healing power of Ayurveda continued through generations, with his son, E.K. Balachandran, expanding the raw material business at a young age by travelling across Kerala to identify high-quality medicinal herbs and master their purification and potency. This legacy was seamlessly carried forward by his grandson, Mr. Raju E. Balachandran, who integrated inherited knowledge and values into the modern world through the establishment of Bodhi Ayurveda Pharmacy, without compromising traditional principles.
Bodhi Ayurveda Pharmacy, established in 1991, is a 30-year-old enterprise supported by more than 80 years of family heritage in Ayurveda. The pharmacy specialises in the manufacturing and wholesaling of classical and generic Ayurvedic formulations, offering over 200 classical and patent products. Its range includes Arishtam and Asavam (fermented formulations), Kashayam (decoctions), Lehyam and Rasayanam (electuaries), Thailam and Kuzhambu (medicated oils), Ghritham (medicated ghee), Choornam (medicinal powders), and Gulika or Vati (tablets). Operating across India with export services, the pharmacy is also engaged in Ayurvedic third-party manufacturing and private labelling, guided by quality, care, and ethical practices. Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification was received in 2003, followed by trademark registration in 2009.
The hospital and research centre reflect this heritage through a thoughtfully managed approach to care, supported by strict quality checks, research, and a skilled team experienced in raw material selection and traditional preparation processes. Internal and external medicines used for treatments are sourced directly from the in-house manufacturing facility, which produces more than 250 Ayurvedic medicines, ensuring consistency, authenticity, and quality throughout the therapeutic process.
Bodhi Ayurveda Hospital & Research Center offers a calm and homely environment for Ayurvedic detoxification, purification, and rejuvenation. The centre emphasises Ayurvedic diet and lifestyle as the foundation of both preventive and curative treatments. A professional team of Ayurveda doctors and therapists delivers personalised care, with Yoga, meditation, and dietary guidance forming an integral part of every treatment plan. The Panchakarma therapy rooms are well equipped, and facilities include comfortable rooms, a dining area, laundry services, and daily vital check-ups to support a structured healing experience.
Located at Kalady with convenient access by road, rail, and air, the centre is approximately 8 km from Cochin International Airport, 8 km from Angamaly Railway Station, 14 km from Aluva Railway Station, and just 100 metres from MC Road.

Ingredients are selected with care and meals are tailored to individual treatment plans, as advised by the Ayurveda doctors, ensuring harmony between diet and ongoing therapies. This approach allows food to complement internal and external treatments, reinforcing the healing process without excess or indulgence.

Beyond structured wellness activities, leisure unfolds through simple, meaningful engagements.
