More about Mitra Hermitage Ayurveda Hospital


At Mitra Hermitage Ayurveda Hospital, dining is an essential and integrated part of the healing journey, grounded in the core principles of Ayurveda. The retreat follows the belief that “You are what you eat,” offering a carefully supervised diet that aligns with each individual's prakriti (body constitution) and therapeutic needs. The Ayurvedic diet here is designed not only to nourish but also to restore the balance of the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—essential for maintaining physical and mental stability. Every meal is customised under the direct supervision of Dr. Anitha Mahesh, ensuring both therapeutic value and taste. Ingredients are sourced from local farmers practicing organic and safe-to-eat farming methods, and many vegetables and herbs are harvested from the retreat’s own organic garden.

Guests enjoy their meals at the Sunflower Dining Area, a common space located on the rooftop of the Middle Garden View rooms. This airy and serene setting offers a communal yet peaceful environment to relish freshly cooked food prepared according to doctors' instructions. The water used in cooking and drinking undergoes a five-stage purification process, ensuring it is microbe-free and safe, even from the taps. With a strong emphasis on purity, all oils and internal medicines used are rigorously tested for contamination, pesticides, and heavy metals before use. Through its commitment to purity, personalisation, and the therapeutic value of food, Mitra Hermitage ensures that dining is a powerful extension of its holistic healing philosophy.

Leisure at Mitra Hermitage Ayurveda Hospital is thoughtfully woven into the healing journey, creating serene spaces for relaxation and reconnection with nature. Nestled on the quiet banks of the Karamana River, the retreat provides a river-facing relaxation space located above the Vishnu and Siva cottages. This open, breezy area invites guests to step out of their rooms and into nature’s embrace, offering comfortable seating, board games, and an ideal ambiance for reading or meditation. Whether you're enjoying the sound of the flowing river or engaging in a quiet moment of reflection, this space enhances both relaxation and recovery.

The Sunflower Dining Area, set on the rooftop of the Middle Garden View Rooms, serves as a social yet peaceful space to enjoy freshly cooked meals prepared under doctor supervision. The small in-house library allows guests to explore books during their stay, promoting quiet engagement of the mind. Additionally, free WiFi connectivity is available in select common areas such as the waiting lounge, Trinity Cottages, and the riverfront space, allowing for occasional digital connection if needed. With a harmonious blend of comfort, calmness, and natural surroundings, leisure at Mitra Hermitage supports both mental rest and rejuvenation most organically.

Mitra Hermitage Ayurveda Hospital is deeply rooted in authentic Ayurvedic traditions, harmonising classical wisdom with personalised care. Guided by the philosophy of “Towards Holistic Health Care,” the hospital provides a comprehensive healing experience that addresses the physical, mental, and social dimensions of each individual. The centre features four dedicated treatment rooms, ensuring comfort, safety, and privacy throughout the healing process.

At the heart of its therapeutic offerings lies Panchakarma, the renowned five-fold detoxification process that includes Vamana (therapeutic emesis), Virechana (purgation), Snehavasthi (medicated oil enema), Kashayavasti (decoction enema), and Nasya (nasal administration). These therapies are carried out in strict adherence to classical Ayurvedic texts, using high-quality, organically sourced herbal medicines. This approach aims to remove toxins, restore Tridoshic balance—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—and promote overall vitality.

Mitra Hermitage is recognised for its expertise in treating chronic and complex health conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, spinal disorders, Hepatitis C (genotypes 1 and 2), psoriasis, urinary incontinence in elderly women, stress-related disorders, and neurological conditions including multiple sclerosis and spastic spinal paralysis. The hospital also offers a distinctive post-chemotherapy detoxification programme designed to eliminate residual toxins, revitalise the nervous system, enhance immunity, and restore energy levels.

The preparation of all herbal formulations and medicated oils takes place under stringent quality standards at the hospital’s parent institution, Sree Chithra Pharmacy, established in 1915. Each product undergoes rigorous laboratory testing to ensure purity and is entirely free from heavy metals, pesticides, and other contaminants. Mitra Hermitage has also pioneered the use of ETO-sterilised disposable vasti kits, setting new benchmarks in patient safety and hygiene within Ayurvedic care.

Dietary care is an integral component of the treatment approach. Under the supervision of Dr Anitha Mahesh, meals are tailored to each guest’s Prakriti (body constitution) and therapeutic requirements. Ingredients are sourced from trusted organic farms, with many herbs and vegetables cultivated within the hospital’s own gardens.

Embracing the Japanese principle of Kaizen, which signifies continuous improvement, Mitra Hermitage combines the authenticity of Ayurveda with modern safety protocols and eco-conscious practices. This unique philosophy makes Mitra Hermitage not just a hospital but a true sanctuary for transformative healing and long-term well-being.

Very good Treatement and friendly stuff, everyday guidance trough doctors and adjusting of the Treatements = good Results. Also the debriefing was organized well, with medicamentation to take home and Lifestyle recommendations. I recommend to take min 3 weeks plus some days to revover after to get best results! 15 Days was too tight in my case to get all the neccesary Treatements for full cleansing.

Panchakarma on the 21st. It was my first time to go to India (a woman), first time to go abroad, and I was not good at English, but I was very safe. Little bugs and lizards, of course? often went out to the room, but cleaning comes in every two days. Other than that, you can spend the same time as in Japan. It was very relaxing ? Coincidentally, several Japanese people were in the hospital and taught me a lot. I thought this place was loved by many repeat customers. Panchakarma is also his first. I wanted to relieve eczema and brain overconcentration, but many of them came with chronic diseases. (Even though the eczema disappeared, it would recur when I returned to Japan ?) Guy is hard, but once he gets the hang of it, he will be fine. Enemas can only be endured. There are always two treatments every day, and doing the same in Japan costs at least twice as much, so it is a luxury. The food was managed by vegetarians, but I was so satisfied that I didn
