A strong breeze ruffles the tranquil surface of the Paravur Lake and blows into a spacious verandah, making the wind chime tinkle merrily. Sunshine bathes the garden in a warm yellow glow, staff in pristine white tip-toe on the premises of Kalari Rasayana. This is one of Kerala’s premium Ayurveda treatment centres in Kollam’s panaromic locale. Patients are assured of customised care, privacy, confidentiality and strict adherence to Ayurveda treatment regime protocols. Dr. Firoz Varun, chief medical officer at Kalari Rasayana, says, “We create a serene and aesthetic ambience that helps our patients heal while we treat them.”
Wellness meets healing
At these Ayurveda retreats, patients shut out the world to detox their mind, body and spirit in cosy, sylvan settings. Distinguishing between resorts offering a massage or two and Ayurveda retreats and hospitals, Rishabh Gupta, head of marketing, Kairali The Ayurvedic Healing Village, explains, “We are not resorts where tourists come for a holiday. Our 60-acre retreat in Palakkad is meant for patients with ailments or those looking for Ayurveda wellness therapies.”
