Nandavanam Ayurveda Hospital & Panchakarma Centre

You can find Nandavanam Ayurveda Hospital & Panchakarma Centre on M C Road in the Vazhapally area of Changanacherry. It is a place where we do things the old way. We have been here for a good while, and the building shows its age a little bit, but it is sturdy. Inside, there is always the heavy scent of herbal oils and boiled roots. We have the traditional wooden tables for the massages and treatments. They are quite heavy and dark from all the oil used over the years. We have a few rooms where people can stay if they are doing a longer treatment like Panchakarma. It is not like a fancy hotel; the rooms are basic with just what you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen makes simple vegetarian meals that go along with the treatments. We have a small garden area where we try to grow some of the herbs ourselves, though the weeds sometimes get ahead of us during the rainy season. The rain sounds very loud on our roof during the monsoon, which can be quite nice when you are resting inside. Most of the people who come here are looking for a bit of relief from long-term aches or just want to feel a bit better using traditional methods. We don't have any big advertisements. Word of mouth from people in Changanacherry keeps us going. It is just a quiet, practical place for healing and resting.
