About us
Four generations of vaidyas.
Vaidyashala began as a home clinic run by Dr. Narayanan's great-grandfather near the temple pond (sample story). The medicines are still prepared in our own pharmacy from family formulations.
We practise classical Kerala Ayurveda: every guest is seen by a doctor daily, therapies are chosen for the person, not the brochure, and we work alongside your other doctors.
How we care for you
A doctor every day
Daily rounds for every in-patient.
Our own medicines
Prepared in our pharmacy.
Food as medicine
Meals cooked for your dosha.
Alongside modern care
We never ask you to stop your medicines.

What guests say
Fourteen days of Panchakarma and I slept through the night for the first time in years. The food alone was worth the trip.
Meera K., Bengaluru (sample)
Kizhi and Kati vasti for my lower back. Dr. Arun explained every step, and gave me exercises to keep it away.
Joseph T., 54 (sample)
A quiet, clean place with real doctors, not a spa pretending to be Ayurveda.
