TIMELESS HEALING

Somatheeram Ayurveda Village KOVAL AM

SET ON THE alluring coast of Kovalam, Somatheeram Ayurveda Village offers an effortlessly revitalising atmosphere. Here, wellness transcends physical well-being and encompasses mental healing as well. The key to building immunity, in this retreat, lies in slowing the ageing process and aiding the regeneration of body cells—a result achieved through their Longevity Treatment. Spread over 28 days, the healing journey involves snehapanam (eating a medically advised amount of ghee for eight to 12 days), virechanam (cleansing of body toxins), nasyam (treatment of the nasal tract using medicated herbs), pizhichil (herbal oil massage), njavarakizhi (herbal poultice massage), tharpanam (strengthening of the optic nerves), and a medicated steam bath, among other rituals. Tying all these treatments together is the use of Rasayana, an Ayurvedic medicine integral to these therapies. somatheeram.in
