Ayurveda is the name of that Vedic scripture, which deals with the understanding of happiness and sorrows, auspicious and unauspicious aspects of life, and which also deciphers and analyses, in detail, the causes, symptoms and remedies of what is good, suitable and supportive for healing and health.

Health is a process - not a stand-alone state. The process is ongoing - not a one-time endeavour. The process is participatory - everyone must take responsibility for his health and not depend entirely on an expert to correct it. A dynamic balance needs to be achieved in all aspects of life - physical, biochemical, intellectual, professional, emotional, behavioral, spiritual, familial and social. Therapies need to be comprehensive, considering all aspects of health such as nutrition, natural medicines, exercise, rest, emotions and lifestyle. Its not limited to just drugs, medication or surgery. Medicines need to be natural - not synthetic or chemical-based. Treatments need to be customised to suit individual constitution and health condition one size does NOT fit all!

Nagarjunas Kalady Centre is set on two acres of lush vegetation, flowering plants, fruit-bearing trees and medicinal herbs along the Periyar (Purna River), Keralas longest and holiest river. Environmental excellence is the key element of all healthcare programmes at the Centre, which advocates and incorporates ecological perspectives into health management. The Centre honours the needs of patients and helps them reconnect with their own inner healing potential. Designed to support the body, mind and spirit, the healing ambience in and around the Centre greatly influences the recovery process. Nagarjuna Ayurvedic Centre is just 9 Km from the Cochin International Airport which offers a truly world-class travel experience. The nearest railway station is Angamaly, which is only 12 Km away. The high standards of facilities, services and treatments provided by the Centre have been well-accepted globally, despite the din from aircrafts approaching the nearby Cochin International Airport. This is evident from the fact that this Centre is heavily occupied around the year.
Nagarjuna follows the concept of Ayurjeevanam which views each individual as a unique personality, with his own physical, mental and social traits. This implies that no two persons are exactly alike in their constitution (Prakruti). Ayurjeevanam strives to enrich the life of every patient with a holistic, comprehensive and integrated approach to healthcare. Components of Ayurjeevanam: Ayurjeevanam, as conceived by Nagarjuna, involves the following processes:
Complementary Therapies
Diagnosis and treatment methodology: The physician first of all carefully assesses the patients Prakruti and Vikruti - constitution and imbalance in constitution and lifestyle. This requires a detailed study of the patients medical history and a careful examination of the different parts of his body - pulse, urine, stool, tongue, voice, touch, eyes and general physique. This process will help to understand the more complex aspects of the patients condition. When a Dosha imbalance is diagnosed, medical treatment and lifestyle advice are provided. The first step is the preparation of the patient for eliminating toxins, starting with the Poorvakarmas which are the processes preceding Panchakarmas - the main cleansing programme, that includes Vamana, Virechana, Snehavasthy, Kashayavasthy and Nasya. (therapeutic emesis, purgation, enema with medicated oil, enema with herbal decoction, and nasal administration of medicine).
