Changampally Ayurveda Vaidyasala

Changampally Ayurveda Vaidyasala is in Valanchery, specifically the Kattipparuthy area. Our post box number is 1, which tells you we’ve been around this area for a long time. It’s a traditional place. We focus on the old ways of Ayurvedic healing. The building is simple and we don’t spend much on making it look modern. The work we do is more important than the decor to us. People from around Valanchery come to see us when they have issues. We spend a lot of time preparing the various oils and medicines that are needed. It’s a slow process sometimes because you can’t rush these things. The smell of herbs is always in the air here. It’s a very local operation. We know most of the families around Kattipparuthy. The pace of life here is a bit slower than the big towns, which is good for the kind of work we do. We open the doors early in the morning. Sometimes there is a line, sometimes it’s quiet. We just take it as it comes. We aren't interested in being a big company; we just want to keep the Vaidyasala running like it always has. It’s a lot of manual work, cleaning the herbs and bottles, and talking to people about their health. It’s just what we do every day without much thought about anything else.
