Kalari Kovilakam AYURVEDA PACKAGES
No one knows Ayurveda better than the people of God’s own Country, Kerala. And no other resort in Kerala practices it best than Kalari Kovilakam.
Kalari Kovilakam is the quintessence of “life in a new light”, giving you the opportunity of a lifetime to bond with the cosmic power and begin life anew with a new body and new mind. The resort owes its name ‘Kalari Kovilakam’ to the ancient martial art ‘Kalaripayattu’ that is practised here.

Panchakarma – 21 to 28 days General Rejuvenation Programme
Though ‘Panchakarma’ is thought of as a single treatment procedure, it is, in fact, a group of therapies that belong to the class of cleansing procedures called ‘Shodhana’.
Kalari Kovilakam’s ‘Panchakarma’ is a classic, intensive, five-point revitalization treatment, ideal for winning back one’s lost vitality and youth. Panchakarma is preceded by ‘Swedanam’ (sweating) wherein toxins within the body are liquefied to flow towards the gastro-intestinal tract and ‘Snehanam’ (oleating the body) wherein the tissues are made supple and the nervous system is nourished. Both these procedures prepare the body for the next round of individual-specific treatments based on a person’s constitution and existing ‘doshas’ (disorders). The below mentioned five basic ‘Shodhanas’ will be performed as per the doshas in one’s constitution, followed by the ‘Paschat Karma’ (post-purification measures) which advises a healthy diet and lifestyle:
• Nasyam (elimination of toxins through the nose)
• Vamanam (therapeutic vomiting)
• Virechanam (purgation)
• Vasthy (enema)
• Rakthamoksham (detoxification of the blood)
