Ayurveda “The science of life”
From time immemorial there has been a quest to understand the body, mind and soul. Ayurveda is a result of this quest, undertaken by the great sages of India. This science focuses on cultivating a healthy body and mind which enables the soul to experience universal truth, attain liberation and be one with absolute consciousness.

Upon arriving at Arogyaniketana Ayurveda Ashrama, you will receive a full intake includiing examination of pulse, tongue, eyes, reflexes as part of your initial consultation. You may also receive other non-invasive procedures that help our doctors understand your unique condition.
Our daily treatments include traditional medicated oil massages, detoxification with ghee, steam baths, medicated liquid and/or oil baths as well as other classical detoxification procedures (Panchakarma). You may also receive internal medicines including freshly made herbal pills and decoctions as part of your treatment. Dr. Ashwin daily meets with clients individually to evaluate their progress and answer any questions they may have. Ayurveda emphasizes individual attention as an important part of the healing process.
A specialty of Arogyaniketana is that our physicians directly perform most of the treatments themselves. Our experienced Ayurvedic physicians expertly assess individual issues and offer the most appropriate treatments. Receiving treatment directly from a physician is thus highly beneficial.
Panchakarma
The centre perorms both purificatory (shodhana) and pacifying (shamana) treatments of all kinds. We start with preparatory treatments like snehanapana (oleation) and svedana (fomentation). This is followed by performance of the appropriate Panchakarma treatment, choosing from emesis, purgation, medicated enemas and nasal instillation in order to detoxify the body. Apart from this, special treatments like navarakizzhy, takradhara and jalauka.

Health does not merely mean the state of not having a disease. Ayurveda considers health to be a balanced state of constitution (dosha), metabolic fire (agni), bodily tissues (dhatu), and waste processes (mala). Health is where soul (atma), all senses (indriya), and mind (manasa) remain connected in an excellent state of happiness.
