More about Dr Franklins Panchakarma Institute and Research Centre
Every individual is inherently characterized by their Doshas, a fundamental concept in Ayurveda. These doshas determine a person's 'Prakrithi' or constitutional type, and there are seven distinct categories based on dosha dominance: Vata Prakrithi (Vata type), Pitta Prakrithi (Pitta type), Kapha Prakrithi (Kapha type), Vata-Kapha Prakrithi, Vata-Pitta Prakrithi, Pitta-Kapha Prakrithi, and Tridosha Prakrithi (Vata-Pitta-Kapha type).
Numerous factors, including lifestyle and adverse climatic conditions, can disrupt the doshic balance, leading to various health issues.
In Ayurveda, the foundation of wellness lies in understanding one's unique body constitution (Dosha), preferences, and overall health. This approach personalizes dietary regimens to harmonize with each guest's distinctive needs. Experienced Ayurvedic doctors craft individual diet charts. The hospital boasts an in-house restaurant with a skilled chef who, guided by Dr. Franklin's Panchakarma Institute medical experts, prepares and serves food.

This is my third time here, I have been here once every year for 14 days each time and leave like a shiny new car each time :-) The Treatments and diet etc is recommended after the Ayurvedic doctors do a thorough examination and tailor make the healing plan. The treatments involve natural ayurvedic medications, intense massages and oil treatments, steam baths etc. The above treatments are coordinated with a bespoke diet based on your dosha and the in-house restaurant - prepares the meals which are catered specifically to your recommended ayurvedic make-up. There is plenty of fresh fruits, juices, teas, lots and lots of vegetarian dishes and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Amongst them they speak many languages like spanish,french, russian and almost everyone speaks english (maybe not most proficiently ) Accommodation is well considered and has few options, there are traditional style huts and cottages with or without ACs or more modern executive rooms facing a private pool. All accommodation s come with ensuite, everything is cleaned daily and again, staff are friendly and accommodating. I prefer to stay in the old wing which has the traditional cottages as its made of traditional architecture with teak and red wood panels etc and lots of greenery around. There is also 1 hour morning yoga classes complimentary, my teacher this time was Mr Mohan and being off season I had him teaching me all to myself, learnt so much about Hatha yoga. One must show patience and discipline to get best results while under the treatments, after having made my third trip, I have come to respect the process of Ayurveda, it seems to be a corrective process and shows benefits over long term, also its focuses on our diet and food habits and encourages an over all correction and not just in the body but also in lifestyle, letting go of bad habits, respecting the recovery process of our body.
