Vaidyagrama Ayurveda Healing Village

Our expectations were surpassed! The kindness and attention given to us and all of our group members was extraordinary. We enjoyed the grounds, the buildings, all of the staff and the attendants that we met, our doctors. Everything! We are also very impressed with the mission and vision of the center to include outreach, community stewardship, sustainable farming, and more. Thank you all!

This is authentic. So comfort is not the number one priority - healing is. And your soul will find comfort in that. The place is amazing, surrounded by nature, permaculture gardens, growing some of the plants and veggies used in medical and food. Food is adjusted to your needs, treatment as well. Sometimes it will take some time to understand what they are doing exactly and the process they follow but this is India.. if you are a control freak it won't let you be that anymore. Let yourself go with the flow and trust your practitioners, they are amazing. All the staff is incredibly kind & friendly., they gave me enough medicine to complete my treatment after I left for the next.. 6 months. Although plain as the treatment requires food was deliciously cooked - just too much rice for me. Most veggies would have been enough. Also worth noting that I was a very last-minute booker and really insisted on staying even tho the normal rooms were all full. They find me a smaller but perfect room in an adjacent house to the clinic. I really really appreciate that they have let me stay and undertake treatment on such short notice as they were really busy. Beautiful place, beautiful people, beautiful results.

I spend five weeks at Vaidyagrama in August 2018. Not my first panchakarma – probably closer to my 30th including the US and India over the past decades. In theory, Vaidyagrama should be amazing, but it was disappointing. Firstly, for those who are sensitive to smoke/fragrance, large 50 gallon barrels of burning cow dung, ghee and fresh neem branches/leaves to deal with mosquitos are a daily ritual. It was very painful and left my eyes burning. I never had dry eye issues before but it took several months after returning to the US to have my eyes return to normal. It seems a bit overkill and that individual application of repellant or protective clothing would be less invasive. My biggest issue is twofold. I told the center I was coming for treatment of back issues although it seemed I was just put into the normal treatment routine. You should ask before booking if they still only have the elegant but painfully hard treatment tables. My back issues were worse after my stay. When I brought up my discomfort all I received was a lecture on how wonderful the tables are, healing properties, etc. and no appreciation that laying on unpadded treatment tables was making my condition worse. The only suggestion was for me to purchase a yoga mat and lay on that… which did nothing. Many other centers have massage table like treatment tables which for those like me that do not come with a lot of extra padding, are far more comfortable/less painful. Hopefully they have addressed these issues as I found the location and layout well-conceived and functional and I especially appreciated their involvement with the local community. as others have mentioned, phone calls and emails often go unanswered. i sent two emails inquiring if they could ship some of the take home herbs i was getting low on and never received a response.

The atmosphere is so prayerful, and you wonder whether it is the treatment or the ambience because of which you feel so good. The doctors are so humble and approachable. The entire staff work with so much love and kindness. The satsangs organised by them were full of information and common wisdom. We learnt so much from it. I stayed for 2 weeks and felt as though I have been taken care of by a loving family. I feel so much better after the treatment. I agree with their views of avoiding chemicals in our day to day lives, in order to maintain a healthy ecological system. I would like to congratulate the doctors for their vision for creating and maintaining such a beautiful holistic healthcare system.

Words are not sufficient! To be experienced and felt! Perfect get well atmosphere under Ayurveda care! Bundled with spiritual events, satsangs, discussions, this is a place where there is no barrier between the management and the patients! Visitors are welcome to get to know this place, guided tour is arranged. The first impression on reaching the door step of this unassuming organization, will last only few minutes if it is unattractive!

This healing village is really out in nature for India so you don’t hear traffic and honking horns which is nice. The therapies were pretty good but the beds were very hard, so if you need a softer bed they will supply you with a cushon. Dont go after feb or it is very hot, even at night which was very hard for me.

This is a place where a person can be healed, mind, body and soul. I heard stories from many people who have been healed, one that really struck me was a lady who came in a wheelchair with rheumatoid arthritis and after 5 weeks of being here and continuing the regiments, came back 7 years later to work with them to open her own part in Tokyo. As for me, I was able to come off of 1 medicine, stop caffeine and sugar, and lost 12 lbs. If I could have stayed the recommended amount of time (3-4 weeks), I am sure I would have been able to come off of my other 2 medicines. It is a trek to get there from the East coast but it is worth it and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone in need of healing of any kind. There is not much to do and it can be tough to detox, that part is not fun, the end results are amazing. It is tough but stick it out and do it, you will not be disappointed!

A wonderful experience, I find shortage of words. After going through my conditions doctors recommended me panchkarma. Throughout the treatment doctors were very engaged. Therapist were giving their best. The service is excellent anyways but the way the provide is even better. The environment is a community/family feeling. Everyone around smiling, soothing and you feel trustable. Doctors are very knowledgeable. Here I met lot of people with various kind of body disorder and diseases that are difficult to solve by modern treatments. Knowing the different perspective and how it works in practice was eyeopening. In addition to treatments, the satsangs(seminars) on various topics of Ayurveda and spirituality were very helpful. One thing to note is, this is a clinic, not a hotel. Go for healing, and leave the world behind. Internet and television not easily available here.

I’m here for Healing. I chose this Centre because I’d been recommended and assured that it’s Doctors are among great best available. I’m two weeks into my 4-week stay and I’m loving everything g about it. The accommodation is if a much higher standard than I’d expected. There’s nothing else I could want - it’s spotlessly clean, attended to twice daily, with comfortable beds, modern bathroom facilities, and furnished with all you’ll need. It’s baking hot her right now, and the ample fans and mosquito nets make the heat bearable. Treatment is highly professional, and individual to every person here, THIS IS A SERIOUS CLINIC AND NOT A SPA or PAMPER CENTRE. Currently there is a very international group here, with fascinating and interesting people. It’s friendly, supportive and I’m loving it. Every member of staff is delightful. There is one drawback and it affects everyone here, office staff, doctors and guests, Vaudyagramais in a rural area - Phone signal and Internet connection is temperamental and is only available in one central area. Now I am here I can see why communication was sometimes challenging. If you want serious Ayurveduc Healimg, I doubt you’ll fine better anywhere. I’ll write another review when I’ve finished my treatment. This place has an ethos and a vision that is remarkable.

Like others have said this is not a resort but a healing place/ hospital! Well it was that time in our lives for a group of 4 of us. who decided that we had to embark on a journey of self discovery, cleaning up our act from the daily grind and cleanse our systems of the dirt we had put in to. We were expecting to cleanse ourselves of toxins and get on the road to a new leaf so to speak. We arrived around 2 Pm in the afternoon. Looking to stay for 13 days! we did our last of our naughty things outside and entered. We were surprised to find a welcoming committee which included the doctors. We quickly were ushered and shown to our respective rooms. We were told that they will be coming around to meet us in 20 mins and lo behold they were there! After the medics ran through our medical histories and our objectives a quick check of blood sugar, pulse and blood pressure we were told that the treatments would begin in 30 mins! That was the first sign that we were in a great place! It continued that way till the 13th day when we were treated at 630am in the morning! Some of us lost on an average 5 kgs and dropped 45% of average fasting sugar rates! Thank you to Dr.Ramkumar, Dr.Harikrishnan, Aparna Sarma and all the Vaidyagrama Staff who made our stay bearable with their smiles, demeanour and kindness. Now, any review without the points to improve would be no good! - Accessible Wifi needs to be implemented - Treatment rooms are spartan but small things such as light music would improve the experience multifold. - Reduce the number of times red rice and derivatives are given by improved food choices

Vaidyagrama exceeded my expectations in all areas. It's like no other Ayurvedic therapeutic place I've been to before, be it the Compassionate, really caring treatment of the Doctors, the ambience - so calm and conducive for healing mind & body. All spaces are planned generously. I loved my private sit out with a view of the Brahma kamal and the lovely covered walkways flanked by green. Felt protected within Vaidyagrama and emerged a healed and rediscovered me! Healing happens better when you trust them to know what's good for you, be it food or treatment.

The Healing Village is a beautiful place ... the construction of the facility is top notch and looks like a resort. That said, you mustn't forget it is a healing village with the mandate to help heal people ... either through cleansing, retreats or application of Ayurvedic medecine. They have very qualified practitioners and it is a place of calm for thise who need to heal. There is a small temple across teh street which is beautiful at sunset and there are beautiful gardens growing a variety of herbal and medicinial plants. A beautiful place in a remote location with teh goal of providing an environment for health, rejuvenation and healing. The food is very bland here but remember it is supposed to be, given what they are trying to achieve in terms of heloing people. It is not intended as a resort or fine dining restaurant so if you appreciate that you will full appreciate the quality and purpose of the healing village. Highly recommend it for those looking for such a place.

Vaidyagrama is a hospital and not a spa. It is not for a 1-2 days stay. Most patients go there for medical issues. The severity varies. I had gone after a difficult stay in a hospital in the USA with the purpose of "de-toxing" my body from the medical drugs that I had had. What a glorious three-weeks. Caring physicians. Considerate staff. Tranquil. An environment which should be a standard for all hospitals. At then end of it, I felt good. And that was the purpose of my going there.
