Wellness and Metabolism Therapy

Kairali The Ayurvedic Healing Village - Kerala · Palakkad, Kerala

About this retreat

This 14-day, 13-night weight-management programme at Kairali in Palakkad, Kerala, follows Ayurvedic principles. It combines doctor-led therapies such as herbal powder and oil massages and steam baths with a structured, personalised vegetarian diet, prescribed oral medicines and lifestyle coaching. Nutrition classes and practical tips help you carry the routine home. Plans are shaped around your body constitution (prakriti) and goals, drawing on Ashtanga Hridayam, pulse reading (Nadi Pariksha) and regular monitoring. Kairali sits on 65 acres at the foothills of the Western Ghats, built on Vastu Shastra principles, with 30 villas set in private gardens, and meals made from organic farm produce. Guests with health conditions should speak with their doctor and with the centre first.
