For a successful treatment, four components are essential: the physician, the medicine, the attendant, and the patient. They all need to have the best qualities for their roles. Treatment involves the harmonious collaboration of these components to restore the balance of doshas in the body.
The role of a patient in their own recovery is crucial. At AHCC, we encourage our patients to share their full medical history and symptoms, to actively participate in every step of the healing process, to cultivate a positive mindset and to adhere to the post-treatment guidelines. This way, they can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment and achieve the best possible outcome.
At our hospital, we offer moderate but comfortable accommodation for our patients. You can choose from single rooms or double rooms, depending on your preference and availability. Some of our rooms have attached bathrooms, while others have shared bathrooms nearby. All of our rooms are equipped with basic amenities. We also provide free Wi-Fi, daily housekeeping, and laundry services. Our aim is to make your stay as pleasant and convenient as possible.
At AHCC, we offer genuine Ayurveda therapies for two types of individuals, namely:
1. Individuals who suffer from specific health issues
2. Individuals who are generally healthy and want to undergo cleansing and revitalizing therapies in order to maintain their health.
At AHCC, we offer holistic treatments for a variety of health issues, such as:
The patient's condition is assessed by the doctors at AHCC using various criteria. They check the balance of dosha, the quality of dhatu, the level of digestive fire, the vitality of body and mind, and the environmental factors. Based on these, they decide the appropriate treatments for different stages of the healing process.
Our goal is to offer the best treatment options for the patients' needs, not their preferences. We base our decisions on scientific evidence and professional judgment, not on personal opinions or desires.
At AHCC, we offer different types of medicines in various forms with appropriate adjuvants. We use both traditional formulations made at our own facility and other reputed pharmaceutical companies, as well as Ayurveda patent medicines.
Some of the external treatments and Panchakarma methods that are used for different patients are:
This is a process of cleansing and purifying the body through five techniques: Vamana (induced vomiting), Virechana (induced purgation), Vasti (medicated enema), Nasya (nasal administration of medicine) and Raktamokshana (blood letting).

This is a treatment that involves sweating the body with various medicines and methods. Leaves, medicated powders and other substances are used to make bundles (potalis) that are applied on the body for heating. It helps to balance vata and kapha and remove toxins from the body. Swedana treatments like Shastika shali pinda sweda and Pizhichil are also nourishing and rejuvenating for the body.

This is a treatment that involves pouring medicated buttermilk on the forehead in a specific rhythm. It helps to treat conditions like Psoriasis, certain psychosomatic diseases and other skin problems.
One of the key factors for healing from an illness and staying healthy afterwards is the diet. AHCC offers a diet plan that is based on the principles of Ayurveda. Many of our patients appreciate the simple cooking methods that we use and want to continue them at home.
We also help our patients to gradually reduce the intake of unhealthy food and adopt healthier eating habits for lasting benefits.
We serve food with love and care in a common dining hall. For patients with critical disease stages, we provide special diet as per the doctor’s advice.
Yoga is a well-known practice that can offer many benefits for physical and mental health. It can help improve flexibility, strength, balance, posture, breathing, blood circulation, immunity, and mood. At AHCC, we have included yoga as part of our treatment plan. We believe that yoga can complement our medical interventions and enhance the well-being of our patients. We invite our eligible patients to learn yoga and relaxation exercises from our expert instructor. Our instructor will guide them through various poses and techniques that are suitable for their condition and goals.
The small library facility at our hospital is a place where patients, visitors and staff can relax and enjoy reading books in different languages. We have a collection of books in English, Malayalam and Tamil, covering various genres and topics. You can also donate books that are in good condition and relevant to our library's theme. We welcome you to visit our library and discover the joy of reading.
We have a small temple and prayer place in our hospital to help our patients and staff improve their mental peace and spirituality. The deity is believed to be protecting the land and the farms since many decades. This is a quiet and serene space where you can meditate, pray, or just relax. We hope that this temple and prayer place will bring you comfort, healing, and hope.
At AHCC, nature is not just a backdrop, but a vital part of the healing process. The lush green campus is surrounded by rice fields, coconut palms, streams and ponds that create a serene and soothing atmosphere. Here, one can enjoy the company of cows, birds and other creatures that God has blessed us with. The campus is a place where one can relax, rejuvenate and reconnect with oneself and the divine.
Daivavyapashraya chikitsa (दैवव्यपाश्रया चिकित्सा) is a type of treatment modality in Ayurveda that involves various methods like chanting mantras, wearing gems, offering prayers, performing homa (sacrificial fire) and other measures to get health and well-being. It is based on the understanding that some diseases are caused by the effects of past deeds (karma).
Daivavyapashraya chikitsa is one of the three treatment modalities described by Acharya Charaka, along with yuktivyapashraya (rational therapy) and satvavajaya (psychotherapy). It is considered to be the foremost among them, as it can provide quick relief and act on the root cause of the disease.
One of the components of daivavyapashraya chikitsa is homa, which is a ritual of offering oblations to the sacred fire while chanting mantras. Homa is said to have various benefits such as purifying the environment, enhancing the immunity, removing the negative energies, and invoking the blessings of the gods. It can also be used as a preventive measure to maintain health and harmony.
Our centre with the guidance of expert practitioners provide facilities for performing homa in a safe and hygienic manner. There are several temples around our centre where you can visit and offer your prayers. We believe that daivavyapashraya chikitsa can help you achieve physical, mental and spiritual well-being.
