Poomully Mana - A Heritage Ayurvedic Treatment Centre

Clinics

The Poomully Namboothiri family, whose ancestral home was known by the name Poomully Mana, resided in Urakam of Peruvanam village in the interiors of Kerala. This family lived in an era that dates back by about 900 years. They built the original Ammathiruvadi Temple and left all their ancestral wealth to the Goddess and its administration to the Kingdom of Kochi. The family then relocated to Peringode (present-day Palakkad).

In the Aithihyamala (a collection of centuries-old stories from Kerala, covering a vast spectrum of lives, famous people and events), Poomully Mana features as one of the families that had a glorious history.

The members of Poomully Mana were famous Ayurvedic exponents and practitioners of the Rig Veda, Yoga, Kalaripayattu (a form of martial art), music and other cultural arts. Some of the better known members are the Late Sri Poomully Narayanan Namboodirippad (father of Aaramthampuran and a famous Rig Veda practitioner), Late Sri Poomully Raman Namboothiripad (the exceptionally talented musician and student of Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavatar) and Late Sri Poomully Neelakandan Namboothiripad (Aaramthampuran, the inimitable Ayurveda practitioner).

Poomully Aaramthampuran was the legend behind the Ayurvedic heritage of Poomully Mana. His expertise in all forms of arts and literature, Ayurveda, Kalaripayattu, Yoga and other performing arts earned him the name Arivinte Thampuran (lord/legend of knowledge). Today, Poomully Mana is visited by several renowned personalities from within and outside the country, seeking Ayurveda treatments.

After the demise of Poomully Aramthampuran in 1997, a trust was formed by his family and disciples. The organization is headed by a Trust Board, which comprises seven trustees (including the Managing Trustee). Sri Poomully Narayanan Namboodirippad is the present ManagingTrustee. He has been holding this role since 1997. Poomully Mana is now a heritage Ayurvedic Centre that falls under the Poomully Aramthampuran Smaraka Trust managed by Poomully Heritage Ayurveda Pvt Ltd.
