Treatment Schedule:

At Agastyaa Heritage Ayurveda Centre all treatments are individualized and prescribed by Dr Unnikrishnan himself based on the needs of each client. Therefore there are no standard programmes to share in advance of a treatment course.

Before the first treatment, patients will sit down with the doctor for a detailed consultation on their medical background and current health related issues. 

Based on this and the length of your program, daily treatment sessions are planned. What is common for most courses is an initial detox phase followed by phases of rejuvenation and strengthening.

Each session starts with approximately one hour of massage where the main therapist uses either his or her feet or hands to work through the body usually with the help of oil. The massage is followed by 60 to 90 minutes of treatments where various forms herbal mixtures are applied to the body in different ways by assisting therapists.

Patients are given herbal medicines daily to support and complement their treatments. All oils and most medicines that are given are prepared at the center on a daily basis, according to the clients’ needs.

The patient's treatments, medicines and reactions to them, are duly documented on a daily basis in a medical journal by the doctor.
