Vaidyagrama

About the centre

Vaidyagrama sits on the outskirts of Coimbatore, in the Madukkarai area of Tamil Nadu. Its website describes it as a clinic, hospital, retreat and learning centre in one campus. The treatments page explains how it approaches therapy in steps, naming relaxation techniques such as abhyanga, seka and pichu, and the cleansing procedures nasya, vasti, vamana, virechana and raktamoksha, with nasya and vasti given as a course of sessions over several days.
It also lists special clinics, retreat programmes and a 25-day lifestyle and Panchakarma programme, as listed on the centre's site, along with courses for therapists and practitioners. A typical-day page sets out a daily timetable and says that, apart from food, treatments and medicines, no other activity is mandatory; one entry is a weekly medicine-preparation demonstration.
The airport is Coimbatore, and the site notes direct flights from Sri Lanka, Singapore and Sharjah on certain days. It says it can arrange transport if told your travel plans in advance. Rates and dates come from the centre once you request them.
