Join us for a Panchakarma Retreat in Tamil Nadu, India
A healing adventure of a lifetime, come with us to spectacular India to receive Panchakarma, the main cleansing/healing technique of Ayurveda, the oldest medical science on earth.
Join Jennifer Ayres, Ayurvedic practitioner, to travel from the US together to arrive in scenic Tamil Nadu, India. Located in Mankarai Village, outside the city of Coimbatore, the AVP Ayurvedic Hospital and Academy is situated in a perfect location for healing. In the quiet Patanjali Mountains, the air is clear, the weather is warm in the day and cool at night (Nov-Dec high of 84°F low of 66F). We chose this clinic for its commitment to authentic traditional Ayurveda, as well as its exceptional ambiance and professional staff. Although the accommodations are simple and grounds rustic the doctors and staff go out of their way to provide excellent service to ensure we are safe and comfortable. They are quite accustomed to providing for Western patients.
Each client is first evaluated by a qualified Ayurvedic doctor to determine a course of treatments specifically designed for each individual's needs. The Medical Director, Dr. K. G. Raveendran, for the main AVP Hospital in Coimbatore will be available to provide the best recommendations possible. We will then spend three weeks receiving treatments, herbs, and specialized food to facilitate deep healing on every level. It is never recommended to travel directly following the deep healing and cleansing of Panchakarma so the following week we will spend in Ooty, a nearby hill station, amidst stunning tea plantations India is known for. This will allow for relaxation and integration of our treatments in a beautiful and temperate place before the long journey home.
