Shanthi Ayurveda Ashram

I had a really good time here in may. In the beginning i wasn't sure how long I will stay. In the end i stayed 2,5 weeks for panchakarma treatment. Probably to short but still i felt some changes. About the changes it was really hard to recognize them in the beginning (they told me, it will take some time). But now after a few weeks i can tell better. Sadly just because i suffered afterwards twice from some food illness on my ongoing travel through india and have the feeling that all the good changes i had are nearly gone... :( But that's why or when i realized i had some good changes cause of the treatment. So definitely my sleep was better afterwards! Falling asleep was better too. My low blood pressure was better. Digestion was much better and different. For the first time after probably 15-20 years I've had a better "feeling" for food like amounts, needs etc. And thats what i really miss by now again. This was sooo good! Sadly this effects are all gone by now, but probably just because of the food sicknesses and antibiotics i had to take second time :( . What else to tell: The food prepared by her mother i really liked. Although probably some indians will miss some spices and varieties, i really liked all the vegetables and dishes I got. Cause of my typ 1 diabetes they adjusted the food for me and i could always ask for more or something else. Food is prepared by the mother of the doctor and i really like to thank her. As well as all the other people and stuff there. Therapists are awesome!!! Mine (but also the others from what i heard) did a really good job! Facilities for treatment are well maintained and clean as well as the rooms to stay. Cleaning woman is there everyday and changes bed sheets every second day. Laundry is done as well if you need to wash your clothes. Property itself is really nice with some mango and jackfruit trees and a lot other things they grow on there own. A lot different birds you will see and hear all the time as well as many squirrels and some peacocks. The surroundings are safe to walk, although there's not much to walk, but walking the streets. Still its nice walking through the streets, seeing all the people, their very often huuge houses and their huge interest in foreigners.... be prepared for many selfies ;-) Every morning you can join the yoga class for about 90 min. But this is very very basic yoga (just "moving" every part of the body), guaranteeing that everyone can join, so please don't expect yoga class like in yoga studios. Just one more thing, maybe some bed sheets need to be fixed (sewing the pillows) or replaced as well as some towels, because of some black spots (mold?) on them but in general it was not a big issue. Doctor is checking on you every day and you can always consultate her if needed, also by phone from your room. Finally thanks a lot and maybe see you again. 🙂

Great healing experience! Will try to return this Nov-Dec 2018 My Indian name is Vishal I visited you With Swami Sharadananda. Sep 2016 Ms Dopena

I stayed for three weeks in one of the deluxe rooms and enjoyed an Ayurveda cure. The small and enchanting Ayurveda centre is in the countryside area, which is down to earth and relaxing. The whole surrounding area looks like an endless Garden Eden village; full of coconut palms, papaya and rubber trees. A small temple is close, and Hindu music was intoning the beginning and end of the days. My room was spacious, with AC + ventilator, a simple desk, and including a nice balcony. The hosts and the team of the Ayurveda Ashram are very passionate, friendly, supportive, and skilful. I enjoyed very much the home made Kerala food, whose ingredients are mostly home grown. And I re-started to do Yoga, thanks to the offered classes on the roof of the Ashram. I could use the Ayurveda cure to calm-down, to relax, to re-build energies and to get to know a healthy rhythm & approach of life. Many thanks to the whole team & family of the Shanthi Ayurveda Ashram!

Ayurvedic doctors regard physical existence, mental existence, and personality as a unit, with each element being able to influence the others.[clarification needed] This is a holistic approach used during diagnosis and therapy, and is a fundamental aspect of Ayurveda. Another part of Ayurvedic treatment says that there are channels (srotas) which transport fluids, and that the channels can be opened up by massage treatment using oils and Swedana (fomentation). Unhealthy channels are thought to cause disease.[

A place of serenity and healing, with an authentic, traditional approach.
