Ava Ayurveda Hospital

Ava Ayurveda Hospital is located in Thiruvanchikulam, which is a very old and historic part of Kodungallur. Being here feels a bit different because of all the history and the temples nearby. The building itself is simple and fits right into the local surroundings. When you walk in, you usually notice the smell of the oils and the herbs we use for the treatments. It’s a scent that sticks to your clothes after a while, but you stop noticing it when you work here every day. We aren't a big, flashy modern hospital. We have basic rooms and traditional wooden tables for the treatments. People from all over Kodungallur come to us, and sometimes even travelers who are visiting the area. The pace of life in Thiruvanchikulam is quite slow, and we try to keep that same feeling inside our doors. We spend a lot of time preparing the mixtures and making sure the treatment rooms are ready for the next person. It’s a lot of manual work, and our hands are often stained from the different preparations. Outside, you can hear the sounds of the town and the birds in the trees. It’s a practical place where we follow the old ways of doing things without much fuss. We just focus on the daily tasks and helping the people who walk through our gates, one day at a time. It is just our way of working here.
