Poonthottam Ayurvedasram

My wife and I spent 4 weeks in Poonthottam Ayurvedasram, in this amazing environment. It is an absolutely unique experience with true ayurveda, with true ayurvedic treatment. Dr Ravi understands the human body from all the perspectives and during diagnosis carefully listens to everything with patience.

The staff is highly organized and everybody knows about the patient everything what is related to treatment, e.g. When to provide medicine, what and which food to serve.

We can only say thank you, Poonthottam Ayurvedasram, for all the caring. We can highly recommend this place for everybody, who cares about the health in real deep level.

Patients appreciate the hospital’s emphasis on holistic well-being, addressing not just symptoms but also underlying imbalances. The skilled Ayurvedic physicians employ a range of therapies, including herbal remedies, therapeutic massages, and dietary adjustments, tailored to each individual’s unique constitution.

Such a peaceful place! The natural surroundings and the genuine hospitality of the people working here is complete bliss. Dr. Raveendranath sir is a gem of this place. I came here for my father's treatment. Hope he gets well soon.

The site is wonderful and is attended by some very good professionals. All very controlled by various doctors and nurses. And some lovely women give the massages. Well, from the first to the last they are all charming and it is a very good experience to have at least once in your life.

I went to this ashram with my wife on a friend's recommendation. I am somewhat agnostic when it comes to Ayurveda- in general I believe in holistic wellness, eating well and forming good habits that will benefit body and mind in the long term. However, I do not have enough knowledge about some of the treatments to make any judgements on whether they work or not.
Overall, I was quite satisfied with my "light" version of the treatments here, which included oil massages and the application of some heated herbs to areas that were particularly sore. We stayed just 6 days, which is not sufficient time for the doctors to offer the more intense treatments. This was disappointing, and we will very likely go there for two or three weeks if we go back at some point.
The staff is superb. From the main doctor/owner to the people who give the massages to the food and cleaning staff, everyone has a smile and gives incredibly positive energy. One of the assistant doctors was a little slow to respond when I caught a sore throat and cold, but except for that one instance, everyone was really caring and eager to help.
The room is excellent. It is not a 5-star resort, so the furnishings and the bathroom etc.are somewhat basic. The beds are really comfortable, and the table in the veranda is a great place to relax or get work done while looking on to a scenic view.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is willing to put up with bland food. For us, the food was a relief from the spicy food available almost everywhere else in India. We discovered several new recipes and food items to include when cooking at home.

The Poonthottam Ashram is the ideal location for self-healing and rejuvenation. Your well-being is taken very good care of and is looked after in a very personal manner by Dr. Ravi, the doctors, and the entire team, which is really pleasant and reassuring. The ashram's tidy, green, and peaceful environment adds to the enjoyable experience. Best wishes to Poonthottam

Had a very rejuvenating 15 days stay in Poonatham Ayurvedashram. I was there from 31st of July to August 15th.the doctor Dr. Raveendranath is the best who's an expert in this field from past 37yrs.i was on allopathy medicine for extreme back pain/arthritis of knee.due to which i was gaining water weight.once i joined poonatham i halved my allopathy dose.i was on a total ayurvedic diet which is complementary to the treatment.the Abhayangam, Shirodhara & few other sessions helped me hugely.the environment is so so beautiful & peaceful.green lush premise.with peacocks roaming around freely.the massasuers are too good & efficient.the nurse, the housekeeping are good, know their job.a spl word about the yoga teacher Ms. Srilakshmi.she's so thorough & guides so patiently that most of felt soooo good after her yoga session.lastly about the food.i wasn't used to this kind of food (being a North Indian whose diet was aloo parathas & such) but after 4days i got accustomed to it.started feeling lighter in my body.losing much of the water weight.it's an experience that changed my perspective about food, diet, excercise.
