Legend of Survival

Vaidyaratnam P. S. Varier, founder of Arya Vaidya Shala, is whole-heartedly eulogized for reviving and spreading the blessings of ayurveda in the 20th century not only in India, but to the whole world. Called the 'Saviour of Ayurveda in the South', he pioneered the production of ayurvedic medicines on modern lines, and ensured that beside carving its rightful place among the country's major medical systems, the advantages should reach the poor. Triggered by the zeal, vision and compassion of its great founder, Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala carried on with its humane responsibilities from 1902 AD. It cruised smoothly through two World Wars, the Great Depression of the thirties and several natural calamities and political shuffling, to reach a podium that demands respect from all people throughout the world. Today, it has grown into a mighty organisation unparalleled in South India. Today, it has again established that nothing is impossible if the vision is clear.

Arya Vaidya hospital, the main wing of Arya Vaidya Shala's charitable activities, was established in 1924 with the objective of providing free ayurvedic and allopathic treatments to the poor and needy patients. Now it has matured to offer the benefits of a maternity home, a surgical unit, a 'Panchakarma' ward, a clinical research department and a poison treatment section. Recently, it has also engaged itself in conducting clinical research in the fields of cancer and rheumatoid arthritis and has also joined hands with the Calicut Medical College to run a pain and palliative care unit. Tourists can also visit the Arya Vaidya Samajam, a school established in 1907 to impart the practical applications of ayurveda, by leading ayurvedic physicians of Kerala.

Gifts of Ayurveda

The noble institution provides a magnificent array of remedies not only for day to day ailments but also for paralysis, rheumatism, arthritis, spondylitis, hysteria, mental disturbances and other psychosomatic disorders. They generally make the patient undergo a variety of tests before prescribing required medication rather than following typical hit-and-try methods. Define the problem and negotiate for the treatment, which is generally unnecessary because the consummate physicians hit the bull's eye everytime, bestowing you with a perfect channel to thrust out your aches at an affordable price. Among the major classical treatments provided at the hospital are: Dhara (Oordhwanga Dhara & Sarvanga Dhara), Pizhichil, Navarakkizhi, Sirovasti and Sirolepa.

Choose Your Steps

Put your steps at Tirur town, about 12 km from Kottakkal, the nearest rail head and ride a taxi to reach the Vaidya Shala. If one is coming by air, it is easier to travel the 36 km by road from Karipur International Airport, Kozhikode to Kottakkal, enjoying the scenic beauty sprawled outside the window. It is believed that the treatments are more effective if enjoyed during monsoons, so plan a visit during June-August and enjoy a memorable trip to the Land of Spices.
