Founders and Ayurvedic Heritage
Ayurveda Philosophy and Approach
The hospital's approach is rooted in Ayurveda's understanding of individual constitution and patterns of imbalance. Physical concerns are considered alongside health history, lifestyle and overall wellbeing. Traditional therapies are combined with individual clinical assessment, allowing the treatment plan to reflect the person and the condition being addressed.
Prakriti, the individual's constitution, and Vikriti, the current pattern of imbalance, help structure this assessment. The emphasis is on understanding each person's needs and selecting a suitable combination of care. Treatment planning remains individual, with regular monitoring and adjustments forming part of the process.
Personalised Treatment Planning
Care begins with a consultation covering medical history, lifestyle and wellness goals. The assessment considers Prakriti and Vikriti as part of the Ayurvedic understanding of the individual. These findings guide the choice of therapies and the preparation of a personalised treatment protocol.
The plan can draw on the hospital's oil therapies, poultice treatments, localised applications and Panchakarma procedures, according to the doctor's assessment. Regular monitoring provides opportunities to review the response to care and make adjustments. Dietary requirements also receive individual attention through changes to the side dishes served with the common main meals.
Treatment Programs
The hospital's main areas of focus include obesity, frozen shoulder or periarthritis of the shoulder, osteoarthritis of the knee, joint pain and ligament injuries. Women's health concerns include PCOD and dysmenorrhoea. It also attends to people with Parkinson's disease, stroke and varicose veins. These areas of care sit alongside general wellness programs involving rejuvenation and detoxification therapies. Treatment selection depends on the doctor's assessment of the individual's condition and requirements.
The therapy range includes Abhyanga, a medicated oil massage, and Shirodhara. Pizhichil uses the application of warm oil, while Njavarakizhi involves rice boluses and Elakizhi uses herbal leaf pouches. Udwarthanam is a herbal powder massage. These different methods allow the clinical team to select from a range of traditional Ayurvedic applications.
Localised oil therapies include Kativasthi for the lower back, Greeva Vasti for the neck and Janu Vasti for the knee. The Panchakarma range includes Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya and Raktamokshanam. Each procedure forms part of an individually prescribed plan, with the combination of therapies determined through consultation and clinical review.
Doctors and Wellness Experts
The medical team includes Dr Anu Viswanath, BAMS, and Prof. Dr Adarsh E.K., BAMS, MD (Ayu), FSR. Dr Adarsh's areas of practice include Panchakarma and sports rehabilitation, complementing the hospital's focus on individual Ayurvedic care and musculoskeletal concerns.
The clinical process centres on consultation, an understanding of health history and lifestyle, and the development of a personalised treatment plan. Regular monitoring and treatment adjustments support continuity throughout care. The medical team's assessment guides the therapies chosen for each guest, including those attending for general wellness and rejuvenation.
Post Treatment Care
Ongoing monitoring, treatment adjustments and longer-term wellness support form part of the hospital's approach. Continuity of care is linked to the individual's treatment plan, with attention to health goals and the response to prescribed therapies. This follow-through supports the hospital's wider emphasis on personalised care and sustained attention to wellbeing.
