Dr Franklins Panchakarma Institute and Research Centre

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.

We had a stay here. Had a very good experience. Really awesome environment and the treatments were really good.

This was our second visit at Dr Franklin institute,we stayed for 3 weeks this time, the treatments, food and service were very good , lovely atmosphere , we will definetly be back one day !!!

This family owned resort has a particular charming and refreshing atmosphere and acts as an retreat in the often overwhelming Indian landscape

I was overworked and and had no more power in my mind and body...I was fat and terrible tyred looking. In 3 weeks I was like a new thank Ayurveda from Dr Franklin and dancing the whole time like crazy: my energy was completely back, my body and my mind... Very good management of treatments and I got strong massages there: celulite despareted in two weeks!! Ladys this is realy something! So I was surprised also about a gim room the only one in Kerala and the Hotel I liked very much: super clean and cosy with the pool wiev. We all vell protected there but so kind everybody. The kitchen was ok, but if you doing diet who can be free in choice? I was happy to get what was recomendet to me and it was ok. This massage with powder was phantastic and also one made by feet. But the doctors always arround you and incredible kind. I got absolutely what was recomendet to me by collegue and I have to thank this team for giving me the life energy back. Well I had so much that I had no time for yoga but people recomend it. Next time. If you want to do Ayurveda and have results then go two times at list one time par year there. I met only people coming for years in Dr Franklin.

28 day Panchakarma included more than 100 different massages and treatments with high professional and very friendly staff. 3-5 hours treatment per day depending your needs. Ayurvedic food served in the restaurant. Quality of food very good. Ambiente and service quality in restaurant could be improved. Very nice hotel rooms and huts. Felt very comfortable.

I was at Dr.Franklins Panchakarma in June. I am very satisfied with treatment, room and facilities of the clinic. It was my intelligent decision to take Ayurveda there and I am happy recommend to you all my fellow tourists.

When I got a burn out my friend advised me to go for 21 days in Dr Franklin. I have to say my trust to her was 100% thats why I didnt ask nothing about the methods. I got all I had to get in order to became quickly ballaced again. Trust this people doing everything you dont understand at beginning but they do it honestly and having a vision how to help you. They see imediately whats going wrong in your mind, body and soul and then give you individualy a PROGRAM. Honestly, it was also hard at the beginnig with some massages, as I wanted to loose weight but after 21 day I was like a new born or renovated in my mind, body and soul! What a change in the mirror looking at my face!!! And loosing 5 kg was a great pleasure. I would recomend to everybody to go ones par year there and bring yourself in balance. Trust them 100%, they just renovate you. Be thankfull, as they working so hard for us. Thank you Dr Franklin! You gave to me and many other clients so much HEALTH back and LOVE! But mostly important the new, fresh, healthy begin.

Great place for arthritis treatment. after 5 days of treatment, the pain disappeared, after 20 days I forgot that I was diagnosed by doctors and the disease is considered incurable. Thank you doctor Sony, massage therapists and all the staff. Accommodation, food all excellent. The price of the package is attractive, there are discounts for those who repeat the course of treatment. I go every year for 22 days - I meet a lot of people from Europe and Russia, who also come back to undergo treatment or rejuvenation again.!!

I have been in Franklin's for 8 days to spend a month. Everyone takes great care of us. Professionalism, kindness, a little paradise. The program includes at least 4 hours every day during which we are taken care of: applications, massages, everything that panchakarma includes, personalized for each person. I see the doctor every day to take stock of the progress of the care and there is someone on call at any time if necessary. The taxi from the center waited for me at the airport at 3am. I came alone. No problem. No problem.
