Why Go

Piccichil, Netra Basti and Shirodara

Treatments

The Ayur Centre first studies the balance of your body, implementing the principles of Prakruthi, (innermost nature of an individual) and only then the guest is ushered in the world of Panchakarma or therapies like Piccichil, Netra Basti, Shirodara and more. The packages are largely serious ones and you should spend at least fourteen days for them to take effect. Casual rejuvenation packages are also available.
