The Ayurveda Center at Kumarakom Lake Resort boasts a rich lineage steeped in traditional Ayurvedic treatment and holistic well-being. The ancestral house of Chathamangalattumana from Udayamperoor in Thripunithura, known as Nalukettu, was lovingly dismantled and reassembled at the resort. This ancestral Brahmin's house, believed to carry the genuine grace of Kodugallor Goddess and Narasimha Moorthy, has a storied history of Ayurvedic practice, providing solace to patients. Today, reconstructed at Kumarakom Lake Resort, this Nalukettu stands as the Ayurveda Center, continuing its legacy.
In the face of modern challenges, Ayurveda, the wisdom of sages, gains renewed relevance, advocating a lifestyle in complete harmony with nature. It seeks a perfect balance of body, mind, and soul, addressing each ailment and individual independently. Ayurmana, the heritage retreat of Ayurvedic healing at Kumarakom Lake Resort, embodies the historic powers of the oldest sciences. The 200-year-old Ayurmana, once the home of the Chathamangalathu Mana family, renowned Ayurvedic practitioners, now proudly stands as a renowned Ayurveda spa, preserving this rich legacy.
The Ayurvedic system revolves around three biological elements—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, collectively known as "Tridosha." Maintaining a balanced state of these elements is crucial for overall health, while imbalances can lead to disorders. These doshas influence the formation of seven dhatus (tissues) and their metabolic waste products (Malas), constituting the body's integral components. Health prevails in a balanced state, but vitiation and imbalance lead to disease and aging.
Kumarakom Lake Resort invites guests to discover harmony with nature through Yoga, a practice designed to isolate the ego from the body and mind. Yoga's asanas or postures sharpen concentration, improve health, and assist in attaining peace of mind.
The resort offers various Ayurveda packages, including Panchakarma, Rejuvenation, De-stress Package, Weight Reduction, and Beauty-Care Treatment. Treatments range from Rejuvenation Massage (Abhyangam), Sirodhara, and Ksheeradhara to Udwarthanam, Pizhichil, and Nasyam. Each treatment aims to enhance overall well-being, providing therapeutic and relaxation benefits.
