S.D.M.Yoga & Nature Cure Hospital, Pareeka

Every individual must visit this place regularly best healing therapy, satvic food, Nice and brilliant Drs to guid, best ladies staff doing all massage and healing treatments, lost 2 kg, Raw diet is best, exposure to healthylifestyle, morning Yoga at 5: 30 am is helpful, very clean rooms and very beutiful surrounding, very reasonable cost, mind and body rejuinating many come alone or in couple or in groups, Do visit and help yourself.

One of the best experience I had in my life time, learnt yoga, reduced weight, eat proper food, learnt good things what else do you need.

I’m visiting this place since 2015, it’s my 11th visit. Most divine blissful experience with dedicated ever smiling CMO & his team of Doctors and great staff especially for people who love health and wellness, except very Rude behaviour of Manager and reception staff who behave very strangely inhumane and emotionless so don’t be disappointed by their disrespectful attitude and very rude behaviour. Otherwise it’s just great place for people who love nature and health.

We were very happy when we heard the name Dharamsthala, but the food is not good, everything is water, water, water, I don't know if they give anything even for buttermilk, except the masseurs are good, the reception staff is not so customer friendly, the duty doctor is also of no help except for one visit to see if he is dead or not. I have not even seen a therapist or a doctor doing internship, everyone is busy in the magic of mobile. Fasting done in this hospital can be done at home. Since there is not even a meeting, a big challenge is who should go to which section. Those who go to this hospital know the only thing everyone says, first one is Patil. As it was good management, people used to go there, after seeing their feedback, it seems that everything went there in vain. Those who have knee and back pain, please don't go, it may happen more. The reason is that I don't even get the minimum information about how long to walk, where, when, and at what time. I gave mine 1 for 5.

I am extremely delighted to be here for 10 days. Dr Anjali is great, very patiently listens and suggest most suitable diet and treatments. 10 days just fly away with packed schedule from 530 to 830.i am planning to come once in 6 months. The environment, The staff, The food, The cleanliness, The modern facilities and treatments of yoga therapy, reflexology, acupuncture, physio, body massages, facial, head packs, mud pack, turmeric pack everything is wonderful at very economical rates. Among the three centres I would recommend pareeka

I have visited the facility 3 times, the atmosphere is conducive to relax and let the nature take its course on our mind and body.

I have got great results every time i visited and the doctors are experienced and the staff are friendly.

Net effect is Good health!

Very good Naturopathy hospital if you are willing to cure your ailments naturally or you wish to detox your body. Staffs here are extremely friendly and it feels like a family. We stayed here for 10 days in the special room and it was an amazing experience. Price is very reasonable and if you are willing to change your lifestyle then this is the place to start. Dr Pooja G was my advising doctor and she was very good in recommending treatments and diet.
Some points to note:
- We visited here during the first 2 weeks of July and it was not very crowded and hence we could complete all the treatments for the day. If there are too many people then it will be quite difficult to run around to attend reflexology, physiotheraphy, acupunture considering there will be queue everywhere.
- Carry enough under garments and bath towels.
- Note for women: If you are planning for a 10-21 days treatment then the best time to visit pareeka is right after your Menstruation cycle for the month as almost all treatments involve full body massage and hydrotherapies and hydro massage.
- Carry a mosquito repellent cream.
- Carry loose clothes for massage and easy to dry clothes (especially during rainy season). Disposable garments for oil massage will be provided during admission. Additional disposables will also be provided on necessity basis.
- Siri shop in the basement has almost all the necessary items available for purchase.
- Make the best of your stay by attending all the yoga sessions, detox kriyas and treatments, evening bhajan sessions.trataka sessions. Also, try to follow the diet suggested by the doctors without complaining / changing the diet for the sake of taste.
- Be in your room at 8: 00 AM and 2: 30 PM for the mud pack treatment.
- Since yoga sessions are conducted by junior doctors some sessions will be good than others. However, the point to keep in mind is to make note of the asanas and the correct way to practise those asanas.
- On the last day the doctors will provide a detailed discharge summary about diet, yoga and treatments to be followed at home.

Finally, If you desire quality time with your family while embracing a natural and healthy lifestyle, I highly recommend choosing a destination like Pareeka that prioritizes these values over visiting a luxurious resort.

Very good atmosphere, the doctors and all staff are very friendly and homely. Environment friendly campus and neighbor hood. A fantastic place to spent few days. I have stayed there thrice. I am joining again on tomorrow, 18th July 2023

S. D. M Yoga & Nature Cure Hospital in Pareeka is one of the best nature cure hospital that we have got from the Dharmasthala Trust.

We went to Pareeka on 19th June 2023. The car was checked in the entrance and we went into the reception area. They took our ID cards and asked one or two questions as to how many days we are planning to stay and what kind of room did we want. The rest of the admission process was very smooth.

If you are new to this center they will provide you with the utensils (plate, tumbler, cup, spoon and fork) if you need a yoga mat you can get it there (The yoga mat is of a good quality)

They welcomed us with a morning drink (Kashaya) and we were directed to our room (Special room). The room was four bed, spacious, neat and clean. We had hot water throughout the day and also had a great view to the forest area nearby.

We were then asked to consult the doctor and get our health checked up, before that they weighed us and checked our weight and gave us an understanding of our BMI rating (Body Mass Index). We then met with our assigned doctor and the doctors and their subordinates were very calm and understandable and always answered our questions with a smile. They asked different questions regarding our body and day-to-day diet.

Post that we were given a 2 day chart about our meals and our treatments, and right away set us to rooms to wait for the next therapies.

After that it was a continuous activity in the center. I never knew that the entire facility is filled with so much of activity, be it yoga in the mornings therapies after that, diet food and so much more.

We attended all the therapies and followed the diet that was prescribed. We had to visit the doctor after 2 days of therapies where the doctors asks whether everything is ok with the therapies and the diet if you are not comfortable you can ask them to change it which they might. I was ok with mine so did not complain.

We also celebrated world yoga day by walking a 2.5 kms walk in the morning.

After 6 days I had reduced 2.8kgs and 90% of it was belly fat and excess fat in my body. Before discharge the doctor will guide you as to how you can manage your diet based on your body condition.

On the whole the entire experience was wonderful and peaceful and I felt my body light and rejuvenated.

Pros:
1. Great staff! Even the house keeping staff are polite and make sure that you have a clean place to stay. Special shout out to Dr. Anjali, she was great!
2. Great environment! Calm place without any hassles of city.
3. Good diet - The raw vegetable diet which I took was very good, surprisingly the entire diet chart does not make you feel hungry at all and at the same time helps you loose your fat.
4. The therapies are 100% natural and you instantly feel that nature has taken over your body and you feel the changes happening.

Cons:
I could find only 1 negative thing.
1. The gym area might have me better equipped.

Overall, those who want to loose weight or loose excess fat, control your BP, Sugar and other physiological problems all you need to do is pack your bags and go to Pareeka.

Every one should come here once to experience the best of yoga and naturopathy.
Dedicated staff and Junior doctors esp for yoga beginners. My best wishes to Dr Ajith, Dr Abhishek, Dr Raashi. Thank you for the great yoga classes

Wonderful experience of staying for 7 days treatment.
The property is at convenient location to reach, well maintained with clean/green environment and of unique features like no noise, surrounded by forest, overlooking western ghat hills. Etc.
Front office, billing section staff need to improve on their customer interaction skills and need to be more polite to extend better understanding towards inmate’s requests. The queries are not adequately answered.
The housekeeping and treatment section staff are excellent, polite, humble, charming, and truly service oriented. They are the backbone of your institution. I would like to congratulate you for developing such an efficient workforce.
The interns and doctors are also very good and doing a decent job of adding lot of value to your organisation.
The food supplied is of good quality. Various sessions you conduct and treatments you provide are fantastic. We had life changing experience. The whole institution is run efficiently with discipline and dedication. We wish to visit once every year, henceforth. We had remarkable changes in our health parameters. The service you provide is a great contribution towards societal wellbeing.

Awesome place to relax for a good 10 days with so much pampering and beautiful surroundings. We stayed in cottage and the prices were reasonable. The people are so friendly and helpful. Treatments were so relaxing and rejuvenating.

Our doctor Shobhith Shetty was awesome. He explained to us about the diet plans and changed the diet as per our health requirements. He gave a diet chart as well with good Health tips during discharge so we can maintain the lost weight.

The yoga classes taken by Dr. Shobhith was the best of all yoga classes. Mostly the morning and evening classes. Never miss his class. Even my daughter (10 years) who joined us loved his yoga classes. Other yoga classes are also good. Especially the morning class at 6-7 am by a yoga intern.

All the people working there may be the front desk, treatment section (Vijaylakshmi, Chandrika, Sangeeta, Shashikala), cleaners (Kumuda, Harini) food delivery/cook, every one were very helpful and made our stay a memorable one. Sorry to not mention the guys names who helped my husband with the treatment, as I never asked them. But they were very kind and friendly as well.

Will surely visit next year if time permits.

Oh how can I forget the Bhajan at 5.15 pm every weekday? That’s one thing which we never missed. So much fun to sing the bhajans with the whole Pareeka team. And then some health tips from the doctors from 5.30-6.00 pm. The Saturday temple visit and Sunday half day! Sometimes yakshagana team may visit.

Finally can say, Best place for a good 10 days vacation. I think the best decision we made coming here.
Overall it was a fun stay! Thanks everyone at SDM parkala!
——————————————————————————
Tips to follow at any cost
1) Take enough towels and underwears (Minimum 10 if you plan to wash them)
You need minimum 4 towel and underwear per day.
2) Don’t miss the morning 5.30-7/6-7 am and evening 4.30-5/6-6.30 pm yoga classes. Other yoga we didn’t require so didn’t try.
3) Don’t miss 3pm reflexology track
4) Don’t forget to drink minimum 2 liters water per day.
5) Walk minimum 2 km on the waking track outside every day. You will love to see the nature around with birds (peacocks) on the fruit tree in the compound.

Thanks

A Guide for Women Staying at Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatha Nature Cure Hospital

Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatha Nature Cure Hospital at Pareeka, Udupi, is a naturopathy wellness centre where you can go either for cures to existing diseases/disorders such as PCOD, thyroid, hypertension, migraine, spinal problems, aches and pains, etc.or for general de-stressing and detoxing.

You can stay for 7 to 21 days (or maybe even more if your finances and time allows you) and enjoy water treatments, massage therapy, reflexology, acupuncture, yoga, and many other therapies that are great for your holistic wellness.

I stayed just for 7 days for detox and de-stress, and had a good experience. I took advantage of the following therapies:
1) Full Body Massage (oil)
2) Salt Glow Massage (oil and salt)
3) Steam baths and sauna baths
4) Deluxe Hydro Massage
5) Cold Underwater Massage
6) Neutral Immersion Bath
7) Jacuzzi Hydro Massage
8) Ganji-turmeric bath
9) Full-body Mud Bath

There are many more, and they will be prescribed by the doctor as per your health condition.

I lost 2.5kg, learnt to subsist on minimal (and salt-less) food, and improved general flexibility and stamina with all the therapies.

However, when you book your stay at SDM Pareeka, they do not give you any instructions on what to bring and what to look forward to. This is a huge drawback for people who go there for the first time. So here are some suggestions for the women who want to spend some time at the centre.a) Carry at least 2 towels and lots of one-piece attires such as nighties and loose and airy dresses. Oil massages and water therapies require you to wipe yourself and get undressed and dressed again and again, and these pieces of clothing are very practical.b) Avoid carrying white towels as oils, mud, turmeric and other things will leave stains on the towels over time.c) Carry your own yoga mat and a few small towels to wipe the sweat off.d) Carry a few pairs of pants and tops to do Yoga in. You can’t do them yogasanas in nighties!

e) Carry a bar of bathing soap, shampoo and conditioner, a washing soap/detergent, and a cloth-washing brush. You will need to wash your own clothes and take bath at least twice every day.f) If you intend to take walks around the premises, don’t forget your walking/running shoes.g) Wear cotton clothes (instead of rayon, nylon, chiffon, etc.). The region is quite humid throughout the year.

I got the best naturopathy there.massage, and water therapy.and yoga everything everything super
There is a need to make a lot of changes in our lifestyle. It has come to know that
In our daily life we ​​have to adopt these kinds of habits and follow naturopathy at home.

They don't treat emergency, come to this place on ur risk, they don't separate patients with skin infection, so pls be careful with water therapy.cleanliness is not maintained,

Amazing place, the place, the Doctors to staff people all are so courteous and each n everyone are very helpful. Very well hygiene maintained. Highly recommended

This is my first visit, i am highly impressed by the dedicated staff, courteous and prompt service and the wide range of treatments available. Clean neat every small detail taken care of, u can njoy music even on the walking track highly recommended, beautiful place, God bless everyone connected with SDM.

Place is very welcoming and serene by itself. The Hospital keeps the promise of Yoga and nature cure, but Hospitality what I experienced is not so good by the Receptionist, billing people, Physiotherapist and few Jr. Doctors there. Other staff people are really good including the cleaning ones. These things are to be taken care off and resolved at the earliest otherwise the reputation might come to stake if ignored

Yoga, meditation, health talks conducted by Dr. Patil with his childish talk is too annoying. The way he behaves with the interns and speaks to the patients is worse.
Other than this, the management and service is good.

Great experience we had here before way to speak with nature very good staff great quality of work do shobith Shetty was our doctor great. If you want to get relaxed for a few days this is the place to search by you no out food not is allowed. Please take care.

Great place for rejuvenation and affordable for all. Friendly doctors and staff with a smile always
