About vaidyagrama

vaidyagrama, Punarnava Ayurveda s healing village aims to be a green self-sustained authentic Ayurveda hospital/community where we are trying to bring in various elements of compliance like authentic Ayurveda compliance, green compliance, vastu compliance, disability compliance etc. We work in close association with Nature, in that we use Her resources in the form of mud-block construction, solar lighting, solar heating, windmill, cooking with biomass as fuel, along with offering authentic Ayurveda services. It is a work-in-progress, and though there is no usual brick-and-cement construction that we do there, there is bound to be some noise and dust in the campus, which does not interrupt with the lifestyle in vaidyagrama usually. Vaidyagrama is situated in the lap of Mother Nature, where we advise and practice a natural way of living. Here you will not thus miss an air-conditioner or a hair dryer, as the way of living is in tune with your path to healing.

The Ayurveda experience

A phase of this hospital is opened to the world since early 2009. We have received patients from all parts of the globe, and who have come to heal of varied medical conditions.

We offer pure Ayurveda treatments based on requirements of individual medical conditions, and with the care and expertise of the healing team. The Ayurveda Physicians consult you and decide on the best Ayurveda care for you.

Towards healing

To enable our Physician to suggest the best Ayurveda care for you, you may please do let us have more medical information about you. You may please send in all applicable details like:-

1. age 2. any medical condition 3. chronicity & present symptoms 4. past and present medications 5. any allergies 6. any Ayurveda care taken before 7. lifestyle 8. diet habits 9. daily routine 10. any habits as smoking/ alcohol 11. height and weight 12. marital status & children 13. location & occupation 14. any medical reports

You may also send along any further information that you may deem important for your Physician to know, to be able to give you the ideal prescription.

Time

An ideal span for a treatment course will be 3-6 weeks, and it will be based on individual medical conditions. It would also be good to have an idea about when you would prefer to start your treatment course with us, so that we can also schedule your booking accordingly.

Medical information

It is best if you could keep at least three weeks for the treatment - this will enable more intensive Ayurveda treatments to be offered (based on your individual medical need) and thus maximize the healing benefit. Further, it will be good if you could have a restful week after your departure from Coimbatore as this will also enhance the healing benefits. Do remember that if the patient is having her menstrual cycles, treatment is not done on the days of the cycle - for a natural cleansing is happening, and we should ensure that the treatments do not interfere with this natural cleansing process.

It will be good for everybody to be prepared for maximum physical and mental rest - the more you rest, the better the healing. This would mean minimum/no outdoor movement, minimal reading, minimal time spent on internet and telephone, minimum talking, very light and easily digestible food, more time on meditation and self awareness, more time spent in silence - all this and more would considerably benefit you. You could also listen to healing music, devotional music, devotional talks, motivational talks etc. - hence if you would like to bring with you your favorite CDs and music player, please do so - this is good for you during the treatment. If you have had any major medical histories, kindly bring along the reports for us to go through. Also if you are on any western medications, please bring along sufficient supply of the medication to last you through the treatment. We do not discontinue any of your current medications without the approval of your family physician. For the treatments to be more effective, it is always good to get your mind and body ready for the healing process, by just relaxing it in all ways. The food, lifestyle, the mindset - all may be kept simple and natural - as in a healthy routine, good habits, simple& timely food regime may be followed even before. It will make your system more receptive to the healing process while in treatment.
