Panchakarma Guide

About Us

The World Panchakarma Guide was launched on Aksha Tretya in May 2008 as a global Ayurvedic project for world healing. It is a Vedic Society online project. It was innaugurated with a Mahamrtyunja havan and prayer for world healing in Auroville, South India.

WHAT IT IS:

The guide is an online dynamic reference to Panchakarma Hospitals around the world. It tells you where you can have Panchakarma treatments and allows people who have visited such centers and the centers themselves to provide feedback giving a prospective patient a good guide to finding a hospital that can suit their needs, and most important of all, it is an aid to our spiritual unfoldment and restoring good health upon planet earth which is the very aim of Panchakarma.

Panchakarma clinics from around the world can submit an application to be listed in the guide which will be processed by our team and uploaded into the guide once it has been reviewed. To submit a listing one needs to complete a detailed questionnaire which provides a relatively clear picture of the facilities, treatments and underlying atmosphere and awareness of the hospital as well as any specific diseases it has focused on.

The beauty of the guide is that patients who have visited the listed centers can create an account and submit their testimonials (either with their name, or anonymously) which are visible for others to read allowing for people to share their stories, experiences, healings or suggestions.

It is our prayer that this dynamic feedback mechanism which the web allows will encourage the quality of the entire Panchakarma community to be uplifted to the highest ideal which was the intention of it's founders the ancient Rishis (sages) who gave this knowledge in the interests of inner and outer happiness for all.

The Vision:

To make people aware of Panchakarma and it's beautiful healing gifts that are a true treasure for all humanity.
To give genuine Panchakarma hospitals a platform to be found on the web and also a place where peopel can give feedback on their experience visiting such centres.
To encourage highest and most conscious standards in every aspect of Panchakarma Hospitals around the world.
To promote Panchakarma treatments of highest quality to each country and make it available to the people there who seek them.

Our Story:

Many of our Vedic family at Vedic Society have experienced the physical and spiritual benifits of Panchakarma as practiced in the light of this time old system of perfect health. Inspired by the remarkable changes for the good we wish to help others in each corner of the world access this healing wisdom. We wish to help those practicing this in the true spirit of the science to be found for the benifit of those in need of help.

The classical text Charaka Samhita which refers to the detailed practice of Panchakarma mentions this science in the chapter called Siddhisthana. Siddhi means perfection to become perfected, the perfection being refered to is our deep inner connection with the Divine so that all our actions are in alignment with God's will. If the human body which is indeed a microcosm of the entire universe is brought into harmony and in alighnment with nature, our life is perfected and becomes that of a Siddha.

About the Logo:

Sneha in Sanskrit is the word for oil and it also is a synonym for love. In our logo we show the entire planet earth being bathed in sneha or love. It is this very love that is the culmination of Ayurveda. Veda means realised Truth connected to the Divine source of all. So Ayur-Veda is a life of realised Truth connected to Source. It is as simple as that. More love through our speach, words, actions and deeds. More peace in our heart, home, family and nation. More bliss, enlightenment for all. This is the true gift for Ayurveda, it's highest ideal. May we see it realised more and more each day.

About Panchakarma

To understand Panchakarma one needs to understand the source of this knowledge...

The Rishis convened and discussed human existence in all it's totality and in the context of this discussed the topic of dis-ease and how to prevent it and how to remove dis-ease from it's roots.

Rishis were completely connected with the source or the Universal consciousness.

When they discussed dis-ease it was not just about physically removing the dis-ease but also about bringing our mind, senses and awareness in alighnment with the highest love. I say love here for this is the English word that embodies the highest vibration we can picture. This is a love of pure beingness, unbounded awareness, infinite creativity, infinite acceptance and inifnite wisdom.

Physical healing is the first and most important process. But what is phsyical ? So much remains unseen. Herbs are used in Panchakarma to bring their special resonsence deep within our being. Each herb is a treasure, a message of love from the source.

The procedure in brief:

Five methods are employed as the main purification treatments. Besides these five methods there is a preparatrion period (called Purvakarma)and a post purification period (called Paschatkarma) equally important. Once the body is cleaned and digestion is strong and balanced, Rasayana or rejuvenation treatment is given. The agni or metabolism of the body is now ready to receive new intelligence in the form of matter and we give it special compounds that carry the intelligence of where we want to develop the system. For Rasayana many famous herbs such as Amalaka, Haritaki, Shatavari and Ashwaghanda to name just a very few are used.

The five methods relate to the five elements and three doshas how they manifest in our physiology:

Nasyam - This is application of medicated substances to the noise to purify the entire head reigon. Nasya has a miraculous effect on diseases of the senses, mouth, mind, head, eyes and any ailment in this critical reigon which is our main connecting point through Adipathi marma with the outside world.

Vamana - This is a beautiful gentle procedure of cleaning age old toxins from the stomach through vomiting in a very gentle managed way after drawing the toxins from the upper zone back to the stomach. It works miracles in many cases of insanity (unmada), asthma, allergies, chronic cold and cough recurring and any disease of the Kapha Zone.

Virechana - Purgation cleans the middle zone of the body. Seat of liver, gall bladder, speem, small intestine (the seat of Pitta) and so many other critical systems. It indirectly like all other practices cleans the entire system. It particularly works on the Fire element and enhances all Agni's or metabolisms in the system. Virechana is a powerful general purification as in this age of industry we all have many toxins in the mid-zone causing excess anger, emmotional distress, mental fatigue and poor digestion.

Niruha Basti - Cleans the large intestine through using special medicated preparations that pull out toxic buildup in the colon. It is a very sacred and special treatment that is said to penetrate all layers of the body. Vata is seated in the colon so if the colon is functioning well, Vata which is the organizing intelligence of the entire body, will do it's job well. When this happens, we have perfect health and immunity.

Anuvasan Basti - Nourishes the large intestine with special medicated oils and decoctions. The analogy given in the texts is to nourish the root of the tree. The colon is the root of our digestive system and the root of our body. If the colon is strong, all systems will work well. Charaka even goes so far as to say that most diseases can be treated with simple basti treatment. We can remove toxins from all systems through the colon. Vata resides here and Vata guides Pitta and Kapaha to do their work well of metabolising and structuring.

ABOUT THE CLINIC:

Panchakarma is the oldest and most sophisticated technology to remove toxins and imbalances from the mind and body, and to rejuvenate your entire system to a state of youthful vitality and well being.

Panchakarma is the Royal Treatment, the supreme treatment from the timeless science of health, Maharishi Ayur-Veda. This prevention-based \"science of life\" is currently being rediscovered around the world. The World Health Organisation recognises Ayur-Veda as a major global force in creating health and reducing disease.

The uniqueness of Maharishi Panchakarma lies in its age-old ability to give complete rest to both mind and body, while at the same time soothing them both towards a deep state of balance. This allows the system to eliminate accumulated stresses and ailments, and regain the ability to withstand the pressures of life.

Any lack of perfect health points to an underlying cause. Maharishi

Panchakarma finds the cause deep inside, at the link between mind and body, and enlivens balance from there. Profound inner changes have the power to restore health and vitality to the entire system.

Sattvik Excursions around and in Pune:

Pune has many interesting places to visit. If undergoing treatment note the air is very very polluted and you should not travel without protection. Many visitors get sick from the air pollution. At time of writing the rickshaws still mix kerosene in with the fuel making it even more toxic for the system.

Our favorite place is the Saddhu Vaswani Ashram which is just 5 minutes away in a busy street. Try to meet Dada Vaswani, the present father of this ashram. It is a very special and devotionaly charged place to visit and experience the satsang and Samadhi of Sadhi Vaswani. It will help with any treatments to visit here and meet Dada if you can.

Pune has many more beautiful places to visit. Another item of note is the annual classes by Dr. Vasasnt Lad in Pune and also many other good schools for Ayurveda.

Vinayak Ayurveda and Panchakarma Research Foundation

LOCATION

Situated in Nagpur, Maharastra it is easily accessable by flights from Bombay and Delhi (and other cities in India), by rail and also road. If coming from abroad you can book a flight from Bombay or Delhi directly to Nagpur. Nagpur is a beautiful historical city with a nice feeling and wonderful temples and old buildings from the previous century.

Nearest Railways Station: Nagpur (10 minutes drive)

Nearest Airport: Nagpur Airport (25 minutes drive)

AROUND NAGPUR:

Sattvik Excursions around and in Nagpur:

Sevagram - the ashram of Mahatma Gandhi

Vinoda Bhava ashram - just a few km from Gandhi's ashram

Siddhi Vinayak Temple - very ancient and peaceful Ganesh temple

There are many more within an our or two's drive. Gandhi's ashram is highly reccomended. Try the pera (milk sweets) at Vinoda Bhava's ashrama. Also learn to spin khadi at Gandhi's ashrama.

ABOUT THE CLINIC:

Dr. Sunil Joshi is one of the most respected physicians well known in India and also in the west. He has decades of experience with Panchakarma and runs a very well organized and renowned clinic in the heart of Nagpur. He is author of a well known book on Panchakarma. He also is involved for many years in Ayurvedic education.

AMBIENCE:

The clinic is in a nice part of Nagpur called Civil Lines. It is a beautiful and peaceful city area with roaming cows and near to many parks and historical temples for morning walks. The actual road the clinic is set on is quite busy and rooms on the East and North side are subjected to some traffic noise. There is some bird and squirel life audible from time to time which nicely balances the nearly constant traffic noise.

POLLUTION:

Air quality is average to high due to urban setting. When the diesel generator is running a faint smell of diesel becomes noticible in parts of the building.

The sometimes noticable pollution goes against the very basis of Panchakarma and needs to be addressed. Perhaps more trees can be planted in the front of the property or a air filteration or ionization system with ionizers/rock crystal lamps/cacti can be implemented. In the long term a doctor of the calibre of Dr. Joshi would do well to have a in-nature centre too.

ELECTROMAGNETIC POLLUTION:

There are no visble cell towers very close to the hospital. There is a Wifi connction which is only used some of the time.

SETTING:

Urban (suburbs of Nagpur)

NATURE RANKING:

Vinayak Panchakarma centre get just one nature ranking Banyan out of a possible 5. The quality of the clinic staff, doctor and treatments are very good but the actually setting is urban and on a rather busy road. There is little greenery visible besides the park accross the road. There is no garden in the clinic and very few trees.

DOCTORS:

Dr. Joshi and his wife are the two resident Vaidyas or Ayurvedic physicians. Both are exceptionally experienced and of the highest renown. Many patients come year after year due to the wonderful clinical skills of the Joshis. Dr. Joshi is also author of Ayurveda and Panchakarma, a very beautiful book introducing Panchakarma.

TREATMENTS:

Full panchakarma protocols are offered all personally supervised by Dr. Joshi himself. Many patients return year after year having experienced his detailed approach and care. Each case is reviewed and treatments are planned accordingly.

PRICE RANKING:

Three $ out of a possible 5. Prices are moderate. One week of treatment is presently $550 and accomodation is $20 per day for sharing per person and $30 per day for singles. Patients from the Indian sub-continent who are born there can enquire for the pricing for residents of India which is less.

FOOD:

All meals are prepared by a chef trained personally and supervised by Dr. Joshi's wife (also an Ayurvedic physician). The food is very sattvik (no onion, garlic, chilli, tea etc.) and very delicious. Everything is made to be tridoshic meaning good for all prakrutis. Ingredients are sourced locally and very high quality. Nothing is certified organic but the local vegetables seem to be very good. The wheat is freshly ground and all preparations are made fresh and stricktly according to Ayurvedic principals. No outside food is allowed. Home made Ayurvedic biscuits are served made with jaggery as a snack in the mornings. Tridoshic Panchakarma trea is available 24 hours a day.

FOOD CONSCIOSNESS RANKING:

3 apples out of a possible 5 are offered for the food at Vinayak Panchakarma Centre as the food is prepared very fresh with deep awareness of Ayurvedic principals. The food is light and sattvik and there is no compromise on Ayurvedic principals. Everything is fresh and cooked deliciously. They would get 4 apples if the ingredients, including the wheat, dal and rices were sourced from certified organic suppliers (there are a few major suppliers in Maharastra so supply is relativly simple) and if there was a little more variety in the diet otherwise it is very good and the most sattvik Panchakarma food we have yet seen.

DRINKING WATER QUALITY:

All drinking water is filtered with RO (Reverse-osmosis) systems and completely pure. No dynamisation of drinking water is taking place as of yet.

ACCOMODATION:

Rooms are basic but very comforable. Hot water is available always from a wonderful solar heating system. Most rooms are quiete but those nearer High Court road have a bombardment of traffic noise which one tends to get used to but it by no means ideal for healing and rejuvenating. When the power is night the quieter rooms are closer to the generator and there is noise from that side so insulating the generator would be a good. There are desks and phones in all rooms and they are a good size sleeping two.

PREMISES:

The hospital comprises of a modern three story building designed with lovely central lighting and neatly and simply furnished and decorated. There is a beautiful presence of Ganesh in the building in allignment with it's name (Maharashtra is renowned for it's very special Ganesh temples)

VAASTU RANKING:

Vaastu is good. There is a beautiful brahmasthan that brings light down in the centre of the building. The building is facing North with entrances on the East and the North. It seems quite some awareness of Vaastu has been applied into it's design. The good Vaastu compliments the treatments.

WHEELCHAIR AND DISABLED FACILITIES:

There is very thoughtfully an elevator in the 3 story building so patients who have difficulty walking can be easily catered for. The rooms have no special facilities for disabled patients but with assistance bathing and so forth would be not too difficult.

ECOLOGICAL RATING:

Recycling: None at present
Biofuel in use: None at present

This secluded retreat also houses a yoga hall, a performing arts centre and an exclusive kitchen serving traditional Ayurvedic vegetarian cuisine.

Modern amenities such as telephone and internet are made available sparingly but sensibly so as not to disturb the tranquility of therapeutic experience.

The calm and tranquil setting, the cool climate, the invigorating fresh air and the insulation from all distractions, is the ideal environment for inspiration and healthy rejuvenation.

The holistic experience is aided by physical and mental exercises designed to sharpen the concentration, invite introspection, foster peace of mind and improve health."

Maharishi Ayurveda offers treatments and herbal preparations in complete accordance with procedures in the classical Vedic texts without compromise, dilution, or cutting corners.

The Transcendental Meditation Technique:

Furthermore, Maharishi Ayurveda reconnects the science of Ayu, life, and human physiology to consciousness and the unified field of all the laws of nature, the Veda. This principle of consciousness at the basis of physiology is fundamental to Maharishi Ayurveda. Therefore, the optional but highly recommended Transcendental Meditation Technique (TM) � is also offered at The Raj.

ABOUT THIS CENTRE:

This center is part of the clinical research network promoted by Center for Ayurvedic Research and Development (CARD), Thrissur, Kerala, an organization that initiated activities related to a decentralized and cost effective form of clinical practice in Kerala. It has extensive facilities at the centre include comfortable patient rooms, treatment rooms with bathrooms and the privacy and tranquility essential to the healing process. Our relaxing and efficient outpatient clinic offers consultations and Ayurvedic treatment. It can accommodate around 10 in-patients at a time. Apart from Ayurvedic methods, related practices like Yoga, Kalari, and Tantra enrich the therapeutic armamentarium.

TREATMENTS:

Poonthottam Ayurvedashram both heals ailments and educates patients as to preventative measures of effective self-care in-order to bring them back to a state of blissful balance. Unlike other Ayurvedic centers, physicians directly perform the treatments here. Different rheumatic conditions, arthritic conditions, asthma and other respiratory conditions, spondylosis (both lumbar ad cervical), disc prolapse, frozen shoulder, skin diseases of different kinds (including conditions like psoriasis), psychiatric conditions like anxiety disorders and depression, wounds, epilepsy, infertility, piles, fistula, duodenal and peptic ulcer, migraine and other types of headaches, paralytic conditions, diabetes, hypertension are a few conditions which the center treats effectively.

The center has special interest in rasayana (rejuvenation therapy). Different Kerala special treatments like takradhara, thalapothichil, and navarakizhi are also performed as per patients' needs.

DOCTORS:

Poonthottam Ayurvedasram was founded by Dr.P.M.S.Raveendranath. He was born in a Namboothiri family of central Kerala. He is the Chief Physician of this centre. He gained a strong foothold in Ayurveda and other related disciplines. His aim was to develop a centre for Ayurvedic treatment procedures as he strongly believed that treatment methods like Sodhana (elimination) and Rasayana (rejuvenation) did not get enough attention and could not be done in the out patient clinics or at home. Raveendranath's intention was to create a complete centre, which is self-reliant for practice, research and training in Ayurveda. His steady and sustained efforts in this direction finally bore fruit. Through establishment of this centre, he proved that dedication and hard work could benefit any sincere aspiration. We strongly feel that the physician has to actively involve in therapeutic procedures like oil treatments. This helps a physician to go into depth of a patient's suffering.

ACCOMMODATION:

We provide staying facilities to the patients. All the rooms are connected with intercom facility. Internet facility is also available in the centre.

FOOD:

A canteen in the campus provides organic vegetarian food for the patients according to physicians' advice on dietary requirements (Pathya). Food is taken from their own garden. We served nightshades, but not white sugar and chilli.

PRICE RANKING:

The cost of treatment would be Rs.2800 per day which includes food accommodation and treatment charges.

POLLUTION:

There is no air and noise pollution in the surrounding area which is in deep forest surrounding of natural herbs.

VAASTU RANKING:

Poonthottam Ayurvedashram is constructed with the ancient vedic architect of the Kerala.

TESTIMONIALS:

I had my treatment over here. To my woner I found that this is the only centre which is practicing actually according to ancient vedic text of ayurveda. I was so amazed with the vicinity. It has totally natural surroundings away from polloution and crowd. Located in deep forest where you found natural herbs all around. When you enter in to the ashram you feel positive vibration of the healing universe.

Dr. Ravi himself is committed to the ayurveda research and the charges are very nominal. Out of this charge major junk of amount goes to charity like treatment of the poor people & preparing good quality of herbal products according to classical texts. In total this is a genuine place which is not a tourist attraction, spa or money making machine but a true ayurvedic hospital where team of dedicated doctors themself take care of the patients and you are not in the hands of un-experienced technicians.

Dr. Ravis main message to his team is that true ayurvedic treatment can be only done effectively if physician himself take care of the patient and feel his body. He talks always about healing with touch. Moreover every month special pooja is performed according to traditional system of vedas for the quick & effective healing & wellbeing of the patients and to give feeling of peace & wellbeing all around. A canteen in the campus provides vegetarian food for the patients according to physicians\advice on dietary requirements (Pathya) � By Yogeet Kapoor.

ABOUT THIS HOSPITAL:

Shree Ayurved Vikas Mandal, Lodra establised in the year 1967. The different destinations of this organization are to build the different organizations and handled them, to provide the treatment and teaching to the people with help of Ayurvedic medicines and experiments like Panchakarma Therapy.

This Hospital is one of the renowned Ayurved Hospital of the state which renders its continuous service for 37 Years i.e. since its inception the patients suffering from different incurable diseases come this hospital from every corner of the different states of the country.

Though the Ashram and its constituents are fully equipped with latest equipments and ample amenities and facilities, the Ashram has been continuously facing financial crisis.

Lacs of Rupees are required to be spent to carry out all these activities of the Ashram.

However, the Ashram is endeavoring to further modernize the Panchakarma Hospital and Physio Therapy Department by installing ultra-modern, essential instruments, video camera, etc., and for the maintenance of the ever-increasing Gaushala. All these modernization and maintenance plans require lacs of Rupees, and the Ashram does not have, and has not been able to generate, the required funds, and therefore, the Ashram has always to look at the Donors to keep its human-oriented activities to continue.

Therefore, the Ashram earnestly appeals to all, who are always willing the Ashram to continue the human-oriented activities, who has sympathy for the poor, illiterate villagers and are willing to help them, to generously donate to the Ashram for such a noble, humanitarian cause.

In the year 1942, His Holy and Reverend (Saint) Shri Balramdasji Maharaj, (reverently called as �Mota [senior] Bapji�), established a Temple and an Aushadhalaya (a shop/store of Ayurvedic Medicines and Preparations) in the name Shri Balahanuman Ashram, with the object of providing social services to the society in general and to the poor and needy persons in particular. The activities of the Ashram (a hermitage of persons devoted to meditation), under his auspices, include running Ayurvedic Dispensary, maintaining Gaushala (stable for milk-giving cattle, mainly the cows), and Sanskrit Pathshala (school).

The Aushadhalaya has been conducting research and manufacturing and making patent Ayurvedic preparations and medicines, some of which are proved much effective where the allopathic medicines and therapies have failed. The formulas of these Ayurvedic preparations and medicines are so ancient and proven that they are used as standard medicines, rather than using them on trial and error basis. For the supervision, coordination and control of all these activities His Holy and Reverend Saryudasji (reverently called as �Nana [junior] Bapji�) has been assisting him.

Barberyn provides a unique environment enabling guests to combine the benefits of Ayurveda with a memorable tropical vacation. Since Barberyn Reef Resort first started offering Ayurvedic holidays to overseas guests some 24 years ago, it has maintained the highest reputation and continues to be the leader in this field.

ABOUT THIS CENTRE:

Welcome to Barberyn Reef Ayurveda Resort, Sri Lanka's pioneer health resort specializing in Ayurveda, the traditional healing system of medicine dating back about 5000 years. Ayurveda tackles the stresses and ailments of modern living in a uniquely natural and holistic way. The resort is now re-opened after an extensive renovation and refurbishment retaining the warm and friendly ambience that guests have come to love. It may seem bizarre to claim all-pervasive "knowledge" of something as utterly intangible as life itself. Yet the literal translation of Ayurveda is "knowledge" - or more precisely, the knowledge of what is required to ensure a long life of optimal physical, mental and spiritual health.

The Barberyn approach to Ayurveda is a serious and profound one, staying true to the Ayurvedic principle of restoring the equilibrium in body, mind and spirit. For over two decades the Barberyn Ayurvedic Health Centre has been one of the most respected in Sri Lanka. From a small beginning in 1982 the health centre is now an extensive facility providing from the simple to the most complex Ayurveda therapies. The research and development section continues to refine the products and the treatment and returning guests are delighted with the continuing improvements.

All our guests quickly learn to listen to their bodies - and they feel the tension and stress dissolve with the warm oil and the rhythmic strokes of the therapists. An increasing number of guests come for shoulder pain, back ache - sciatica, insomnia, Gastritis ulcers, skin disorders , psoriasis , allergies, arthritis, to name a few. Ayurveda has very effective remedies for these medical problems. Around the world, people search for safer medicines that have no adverse side effects. Ayurveda is not simple a collection of herbal recipes. It is a holistic and scientific system based on a profound philosophy leading to a long and healthy life without illness.

At Barberyn Ayurveda resorts you will find an Ayurvedic doctor or dietician at hand during meal times to advise you on the suitability of specific vegetables, herbs and spices and to help you select / avoid the dishes according to your prescribed treatment. Your herbal elixir and the instructions from the doctors at the health centre will be on your individual table. This care and attention to diet is something unique to Barberyn Ayurveda resorts.

Chief of Lotus Villa

FOOD:

In Ayurveda restaurant and kitchen are quite different to a usual catering business. Many restaurants do not care much about health but rather try to make the food look good, taste good and are concerned about quantities. Ayurvedic nutrition also cares about appearance and taste. However, the most important aspect is health. Every individual meal must be produced to suit each individual�s needs. Moreover, in Ayurveda there are 6 categories of taste (instead of the usual 5) which are to be taken into account. In our Lotus-Villa the kitchen is being checked every lunchtime and evening by one of our Ayurveda physicians.

After the first consultation with an Ayurveda physician each patient will receive a personal nutritional plan which will also be forwarded to our kitchen and restaurant. The Hotel is pleased to explain your personal nutritional plan if you so desire. Since these criteria are only valid for a short period of time we will give you a nutritional recommendation for daily use at the end of your stay. This daily list is based on European fruit and vegetables. In our The Lotus Villa Ayurveda Resort you will obviously eat the local fruit and vegetables.

ACCOMMODATION:

The rooms are an important thing for each guest or patient, as these are going to be their "sanctuary" in the next days and weeks during the stay. Because the rooms are mainly not the same as ones own "four walls" at home, one needs a certain time until one "settles in". When one comes here for the second time it is usually easier to find ones way around.

6 single rooms and 14 double rooms (with two washbasins each). They are around 25 m in size. Three of the rooms also have a connecting door to the neighboring rooms, which is often very comfortable for accompanying people and also for couples, who wish to sleep separate during the time of treatments. For people with back problems the resort can provide water beds (small fee) or place underlies under mattresses.

OTHER FACILITIES:

Bed linen and towels are changed daily. Reason being: after treatments some oil or medicine residue always stays on the body, which might cause ant invasions. Every room is fitted with an alarm bell and the three rooms for wheelchair users have the alarm-bell-string reach right down to the floor in the bathroom. Because of the treatments, the pores need to stay open and hence we do not have air-conditioner but fans in the rooms and against possible mosquito bites, there are mosquito nets.

By the way: the warm water supply throughout the entire house except for the launderette is powered by solar energy. Our water-filtering-system produces drinking water to the requirements of international laws. Therefore you can use for example the water in the bathroom to brush your teeth.

My late Dad always reminded me of what India has to offer and now I�ve experienced it: your wealth of culture, lifestyle, professional knowledge, mutual support and down to earth simplicity makes you two what he would call � pint-size giants� (and that�s a very favorable term to me).
You have made my stay a very memorable one � I came to two health care professionals and go leaving two family members. You have connected me to Ayurveda, a system which would continue to be a part of my life � not because Dr. Deepak Chopra made me aware of it but because of the special spiritual way you introduced your high standards and depth of professionalism.
