The specialized treatments provided at the Shanta Ayurveda Hospital, are popularly called “Kerala Treatments” and were developed centuries ago by physicians in Kerala. With a spirit of enquiry and characteristics of true exponents of the healing arts, they improved upon some of the principles enshrined in the classical texts of Ayurveda. The research conducted by the ancient physicians has left an imprint on therapeutic techniques such as Dhara, Pizhichil, Navarakizhi, Sirovasthi etc. which are most effective in chronic diseases.

DHARA - This treatment is a process in which medicated oil, milk, butter milk, etc are poured in a continous stream on the patient’s head, in a prescribed manner.. Dhara alleviates fatigue, lack of vitality, improves memory and restores the equiliburium of DOSHAS. This treatment is also highly effective in insomnia, chronic headaches like migraine, ear and nose diseases neuropathy, spondylitis, paraplegia etc.

PIZHICHIL - This is a treatment in which warm medicated oil is continuously poured on the patients body. This is very effective in all kinds of muscular and skeletal diseases like Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteo Arthritis, Lumbago, Sciatica, hemiplegia, Neuropathy, etc,.

NAVARAKIZHI - This therapeutic is so called because of the fact that boluses of cooked Navara rice are used in the process. Navarakizhi is advised for all skeletal and muscular diseases, paralysis,Sciatia, etc. This has been proven to improve general health also as a nourisher.

SIROVASTI - This is a special technique to administer medicated oil on the head. In this the patient is made to sit upright and medicated oil is applied on the body and the prescribed oil is held inside a cap fitted on the head. This is exceptionally effective in eye, nose and ear diseases, chronic headaches, facial paralysis, spondylitis, insomnia and numerous other disorders arising out of deranged VATA. it also improves, memory and mental faculities.

In addition to the intensive treatments described, Panchakarma treatments are also offered. These are based on the condition of the patient and after an assessment by the physician. During all these treatments, patients are advised total physical and mental rest. Further medicine and a regulated diet also form an important component of the healing process. A regular course of in-house treatment at our hospital would take approximately 21 to 35 days. However, this is subject to change based on the assessment by our physicians.

PANCHAKARMA: Panchakarma is a purifying therapy to enhance the metabolic process through food and herbal medicines. It is used in deep rooted chronic disease as well as seasonal imbalance of tridoshas. As the wastes are eliminated from the body the person becomes healthy.
