Nestled in verdant nature and surrounded by thick coconut groves, CGH Earth Ayurveda’s NABH accredited centre “Kalari Rasayana” is a clinic for classical, traditional Kerala Ayurvedic treatment. Located in Paravoor village in southern Kerala, the space provides a throwback to a quieter and gentler pace of life where fishermen still use ancient techniques and the sights and sounds of kingfishers, cormorants and mynahs to offer you the chance to experience an inimitable sense of all round wellbeing.
The team at Kalari Rasayana is devoted to the prescription of Ayurvedic treatments designed to suit each individual’s body constitution or Dosha and their medical conditions. Powerful detoxification processes are complemented by internal and external Ayurvedic herbal medicines which in combination with restorative gentle yoga, meditation and breathing exercises enable your transition to a healthier and more vital state of being.
The Living spaces here are designed to co exist with nature, set in open grounds and embracing the beautiful sights of the backwaters and coconut fringed islands. A calming and serene space that aids in the healing process complemented by a warm and nurturing medical team. An environment that encourages the patient’s quiet adherence to their selected treatment pathways, providing minimal distraction beyond the natural world that surrounds them.
The influence of Ayurveda in the dining room is inevitable as your treatments are supplemented by appropriate diets drawn up by the Doctors based on the individual’s Dosha and Prakriti every day. It is Satvic and pure vegetarian and the emphasis is on using natural, organically grown ingredients. The Chef ensures that the curated medically oriented healing menus remain palatable and nutritional to meet the needs of each individual’s health conditions and body constitutions.
Ayurveda
Based on the Ayurvedic philosophy of ‘treating the source, not the symptom’, Kalari Rasayana’s strict Ayurvedic approach aims to address not just the physical but also the emotional and the wellbeing of the mind too.
With 11 bath attached naturally cooled treatment rooms; patients are educated about the treatments they undertake and gently guided through them to the completion of their course so as to achieve the best results possible. The clinic offers complete Detox programmes that are based on the classical “Panchakarma Chikitsa”, which lasts between 21-28 days and involves toxin removal, cleansing rituals and corrective therapies to bring equilibrium to the body. This could include “ Vamana “ induced vomiting, two types of medicated enema and nasal purging as part of the curative and therapeutic treatments, while a reinstated individualised Satvic diet helps with the restoration of the body’s inner equilibrium.
For body purification over a period of 14-21 days the “Sodhana Chikitsa” begins with an Ayurvedic doctor diagnosing the patient’s Dosha or body constitution, before the course of curative treatments and dietary recommendations are drawn up. These are supplemented by gentle restorative yoga sessions, guided meditations and Satsangs – cultural discourses that aim to increase one’s understanding of universal truths.
These modalities are similarly followed in a more targeted 14-28-day retreat that focuses on assisting weight management. Here after the body is purified of accumulated toxins, therapeutic treatments that target excess cellulite by aiming to increase the metabolism and increase immunity are prescribed.
Another programme “Manashanthi Chikitsa”, addresses stress management and aims to relieve the draining effects of continuous mental strain such Insomnia, poor concentration, fatigue and headaches.
“Rasayana Chikitsa” is a holistic treatment designed to boost immunity and restore vitality. For this, a two-week process of toxin elimination is followed by rituals that stabilise imbalances in the individual’s dosha with the aim of arresting the degeneration of the body’s cells and tissues. These programmes can help with post-Covid rehabilitation and well as more general preventative healthcare.
Following an extensive one on one consultation process on arrival, the dedicated team at “Kalari Rasayana” are able to address a wide range of specific individual needs, including diabetes management, gastro-intestinal or cardio-vascular disorders, respiratory diseases, infertility, cancer management for those on remission and post care after Chemotherapy, post-addiction rejuvenation, long standing skin complaints and musculo-skeletal issues.
