Om Dhanwantaraye Namah ...

Salutations to him, Lord Dhanwantari, who

holds a conch shell, a disc of energy, a leech

and a jug of celestial ambrosia. In whose

heart shines a subtle, clear, gentle and

pleasing blaze of light that also shines

around his head and lotus eyes. On the dark

blue water, his body is luminous, splendid,

and shining. His waist and legs are adorned

in bright yellow clothing. Who, by his mere

gaze, destroys all disease like a

mighty forest fire.

Dhanwanthari is an avatar

(incarnation) of Lord Vishnu.

He appears in the Vedas and

Puranas as the physician of the

Gods (devas), and the God of

Ayurvedic medicine.

Ayurveda is the name of that Vedic

scripture, which deals with theunderstanding of happiness and

sorrows, auspicious and

unauspicious aspects of life, and

which also deciphers and analyses, in

detail, the causes, symptoms and

remedies of what is good, suitable

and supportive for healing and

health.

- Sage Charaka

Founder of theMadhyamika Buddhism (Middle Path), Sage

Nagarjuna, who was also known as Medicine Budda, was

an outstanding Ayurvedic physician, scholar and teacher

of the second century AD. The Buddhists of China, Japan

and Tibet revere him as the Second Buddha, who once

again set the wheel ofDharma in motion.

Nagarjuna Ayurvedic Group takes its name

after this illustrious philosopher and physician.

Health is a process - not a stand-alone state.

The process is ongoing - not a one-time endeavour.

The process is participatory - everyone must take responsibility for his health and not

depend entirely on an expert to correct it.

A dynamic balance needs to be achieved in all aspects of life - physical, biochemical,

intellectual, professional, emotional, behavioral, spiritual, familial and social.

Therapies need to be comprehensive, considering all aspects of health such as

nutrition, natural medicines, exercise, rest, emotions and lifestyle. Its not limited to justdrugs, medication or surgery.

Medicines need to be natural - not synthetic or chemical-based.

Treatments need to be customised to suit individual constitution and health condition -

one size does NOT fit all!

Nagarjunas Kalady Centre is set on two acres of lush vegetation, flowering plants,fruit-bearing trees and medicinal herbs along the Periyar (Purna River), Keralas longest

and holiest river.

Environmental excellence is the key element of all healthcare programmes at the Centre,which advocates and incorporates ecological perspectives into health management.

The Centre honours the needs of patients and helps them reconnect with their own inner

healing potential. Designed to support the body, mind and spirit, the healing ambience in

and around the Centre greatly influences the recovery process.

Nagarjuna Ayurvedic Centre is just 9 Km from the Cochin International Airport which offers

a truly world-class travel experience. The nearest railway station is Angamaly, which is

only 12 Km away.

The high standards of facilities, services and treatments provided by the Centre have been

well-accepted globally, despite the din from aircrafts approaching the nearby Cochin

International Airport. This is evident from the fact that this Centre is heavily occupied

around the year.

Diagnosis and treatment methodology: The physician first of all carefully assesses the

patientsPrakruti and Vikruti - constitution and imbalance in constitution and lifestyle.

This requires a detailed study of the patients medical history and a careful examination of

the different parts of his body - pulse, urine, stool, tongue, voice, touch, eyes and general

physique. This process will help to understand the more complex aspects of the patients

condition.

When aDosha imbalance is diagnosed, medical treatment and lifestyle advice are

provided. The first step is the preparation of the patient for eliminating toxins, starting with

thePoorvakarmas which are the processes precedingPanchakarmas - the main cleansing

programme, thatincludes Vamana, Virechana, Snehavasthy, Kashayavasthy andNasya.(therapeutic emesis, purgation, enema with medicated oil, enema with herbal decoction,

and nasal administration of medicine).

Nagarjuna follows the concept of

Ayurjeevanam which views each individual as

a unique personality, with his own physical,

mental and social traits. This implies that no two

persons are exactly alike in their constitution(Prakruti). Ayurjeevanam strives to enrich the

life of every patient with a holistic,

comprehensive and integrated approach to

healthcare.

Components of Ayurjeevanam:

Ayurjeevanam, as conceived by Nagarjuna,

involves the following processes:

Constitution Analysis Disease Identification

Treatments (internal / external) Dietary Regimen

Complementary Therapies Lifelong Follow-up Counselling

Patient and physician - a bond beyond the treatment room
