Sahyadri Ayurveda Pharmaceuticals

We are Sahyadri Ayurveda Pharmaceuticals, based in Peermade. You can find us in Pallikkunnu, which is part of the Idukki district. The air up here in the hills is quite different from the plains. It’s cooler and we are surrounded by a lot of greenery. We make Ayurvedic medicines here. Being in Peermade and Azhutha, we have access to a lot of the plants we need. Our facility isn’t a high-tech lab; it’s more of a traditional production house where we follow the old recipes. We spend a lot of time boiling, grinding, and mixing things. It’s a very hands-on process. Everyone who works here lives nearby in the Idukki area. We walk to work or take the local bus. The weather can be a bit unpredictable with the rain, but we just keep the fires going for the medicine making. We don’t have a big marketing department. We just focus on making sure the batches of medicine come out right. People know us in this region because we’ve been here for so long. It’s a quiet life up in the mountains. We don’t rush things. If a medicine takes three days to prepare, it takes three days. We just follow the steps and keep the place running. It’s hard work, but it feels right to be doing it here in the middle of nature.
