Testimonial
What they say
After experiencing lower back pain for 28 years and neck pain for 14 years, I began seeing Dr. Reji Thomas on November 12th for treatment of a locked shoulder. By January 28th, I was over 90% healed. While the bones cannot fully grow back, this improvement has been significant. I recently climbed 6000 steps to Adam’s Peak, a four-hour hike up and down totaling 14 kilometers. This accomplishment is a testament to my newfound physical and mental empowerment. I highly recommend Dr. Reji Thomas for effective treatment. Grateful for the positive impact on my overall well-being

I recently underwent Panchakarma treatment at Heritage Kerala Ayurveda Hospital, guided by Dr. Reji Thomas and his expert team. The treatment was an amazing experience and I am feeling much better now, even during the healing period. I had been suffering from pain in my legs, frozen shoulder, and pain in my palms, but thanks to Heritage Kerala Ayurveda, all these problems were fully cured. Overall, I can say that the Panchakarma treatment rejuvenated my body for good. I am grateful to the team at Heritage Kerala Ayurveda for their expertise and support during my treatment.

FAQ
Frequently Ask Questions
Does Ayurvedic medicines have any side effects?
First, let us learn the difference between the terms “desired effect” and “side effect”. ‘Paracetamol’ is a drug in modern medicine that helps reduce body temperature. This is the “desired effect” for those suffering from fever.
However, the same drug might sometimes cause acidity in the stomach. We call that as the “side effect”. A side effect is just like an uninvited guest.
In fact there is no such a thing like “side effect” for a drug in the concepts of Ayurveda. Having said this, in case if some undesired effects are observed after consuming a drug, certain situations need to be taken into consideration:
- Self-treatment: whether the patient has purchased the medicine without doctor’s consultation
- Fake physicians: self-proclaimed or unregistered healers without proper qualification
- Limitations in preparation of the medicines: Ayurvedic medicines are to be prepared in strict adherence to the process. If any compromise is done on the steps to be followed, the end product can’t be called a medicine. We cannot blame Ayurveda, if someone prepares a medicine in the wrong way.
- Overdosing medicines: Stick on to the prescribed dosage so that no complications happen. The right drug in the right dosage heals safe.
When we compare the speed of recovery, it should be always done between the results provided in different systems of medicines for the same disease.
For example: An emergency heart issue needs immediate care in a cardiac ICU . The patient may recover quickly in a few days, if urgently admitted and treated in a modern hospital with emergency care facilities. The current system of Ayurveda is not equipped to tackle such critical situations. Hence, there is no scope for even a comparison.
But, in the case of a chronic disease like spondylosis, the patient who has been continuously on pain killers for several years in other systems of medicine, may get a better recovery in a matter of a few months of Ayurvedic treatment. In this scenario, we must agree that Ayurveda treatment provides speedy recovery.
See, there is no logic in comparing the speed of a car with that of a boat. Each system of medicine has its own strongholds as well as limitations. Before choosing the medical system to treat one’s ailment, enquire which system offers the best. Making such wise decisions will help save a lot of time, money and more importantly reduce suffering.
Ultimately the patient’s recovery is the prime concern, not the system.
When someone suffers from an ailment, medical treatment aims to facilitate the healing process and bring back normalcy. Medicines are administered to tackle the disease. But, all of us interfere with our internal environment daily through food. Each food item has its own properties. Some may favour the healing process, whereas others worsen the situation, acting as triggering agents for the disease. In the context of each disease, food can be classified as favourable (Pathya ahara) and unfavourable (apathya ahara). Pathya ahara are those eatables that support the body systems in recovery. Whereas apathya ahara act as either triggering agents which further provokes the disease, or slow down the healing process.
This concept is well defined and explained in Ayurveda. That is why Ayurveda practitioners insist on such diet control/restrictions. Irrespective of the system of medicine followed, avoiding those specific unfavorable food items will help to achieve a comparatively faster recovery. The restrictions are no way linked with the medicine prescribed. But they help us to contain the disease faster. Support shall be extended not for the disease but for the efforts of the body to recover, irrespective of whatever medicines consumed.
How do you treat for disc diseases at Heritage Kerala Ayurveda without surgery?
If a disc gets damaged either by degeneration or displacement of the material into the spinal canal, the nerve roots and spinal cord suffer. Any cord or nerve roots compression may generate pain or numbness or affect movements. Pain may radiate along the pathway of the compressed nerve. For example, if the sciatic nerve roots at the low back are compressed, the pain radiates down the back side of the entire leg.
After consuming pain killers and undergoing physiotherapy, many of such patients may get an advice to undergo surgery. But in Ayurveda there are better and safer options. Without any surgical intervention, the protruding disc material can be regressed. We do it through specific therapeutic procedures. Thus the nerve roots as well as the cord gets de-compressed. Once the nerve pathway gets cleared, signals flow freely and distressing symptoms vanish.
At Heritage Kerala Ayurveda, we have more than 15,000 success stories of non- surgical management of prolapsed discs.
No more suffering, No more risk of getting handicapped.
Do you have treatments for sleep issues at Heritage Kerala Ayurveda?
Studies show that around 50% of people suffer from sleep issues in one way or another. But only very few would approach for a medical assistance for the same. This happens mainly because most people are unaware of the importance of good sleep.
In Ayurveda, there is a concept of Thrayopasthambha, meaning 3 supportive pillars of life (Food,Celibacy and Sleep). This emphasizes the importance of sleep for appropriate maintenance of health. Sleep plays a vital role in balancing the hormone levels for proper growth and development, maintaining immunity, and proper cognitive functions. Now, While treating sleep issues, it is imperative to analyze the cause; accordingly only treatment should be planned. Sleep can be disturbed due to Physical factors( body aches and pains), Mental factors(stress, anxiety, depression), Environmental factors ( excess use of mobile phones, heavy sounds, bright lights)
In Ayurveda, we address such causative factors. Further there are medicines which induce a relaxant effect in nervous system. This leads to natural sleep. These drugs do not just make the patient unconscious, so there is no question of addiction.
Applying medicated oil and a gentle foot massage also ensures good sleep.
Other than these, we at Heritage Kerala Ayuveda offer a variety of therapeutic procedures which help in sorting sleep issues.
Do you have treatment in Ayurveda for PCOS?
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by symptoms like irregular menstrual cycle, abnormal bleeding, weight gain, fresh appearance of pimples ie acne vulgaris, hairs appearing on face and chest, anomalies in thyroid function. There may be hormonal variations in blood. Ultrasound scan shows multiple bubble-like appearance in the ovary.
Among teenagers, PCOS may go unnoticed. There are many medical reasons to get PCOS. Lifestyle plays a major role. Habit of eating junk food frequently increases the risk. As a syndrome with associated complications, treatment may take months or a year to yield results.
Ayurvedic medicines offer excellent results along with strict modifications in diet and lifestyle. The bliss of womanhood can be brought back with timely intervention through systematic treatment.
Do you have treatment for Migrane at Heritage Kerala Ayurveda?
Yes, we do have treatment for Migrane. In ayurveda there is a concept explaining the role of under-utilization, over utilization and wrong utilization of sense organs in triggering a disease. This concept is applicable in Migraine.
We have effective medicines that help reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine attack. With proper treatment, the episodes fade away. Procedures like shirodhara, shirovasthi and abhyangam are beneficial in addressing migraine. One of the Panchakarma procedures, called Nasyam when done for 7 days or 14 days as a course help in tackling Migraine. All these shall be done under the guidance of a qualified ayurvedic doctor.
How do you treat Spondylosis/ Neck pain at Heritage Kerala Ayurveda?
Many patients suffer pain at the root of the neck radiating towards the shoulder or even down the arms, or the upper back and sometimes even to the chest. Others might have a headache, starting from the neck radiating up along the back of their head. There can be a reeling sensation with a repeating nature. A few may complain numbness or tingling sensation on their arms. The issue behind may be spondylosis of the neck. In an X- Ray, the bone segments which we call vertebrae show wear and tear, change in shape and alignment. Sometimes the cushioning material called inter-vertebral disc might have bulged out of its position into the spinal canal. MRI scan of the neck can establish this. The disc disease may add to the suffering with diminishing grip of the fingers and recent worsening in handwriting.
We at Heritage Kerala Ayurveda addresses these issues in four ways:
- Stops further degeneration of the bone with ayurvedic medicines
- Corrects the alignment of the spine with therapeutic procedures
- Protruded disc material is made to regress so that the nerve roots and spinal cord are set free from compression
- Diet and lifestyle correction to maintain the recovery
Earlier days, spondylosis was mostly diagnosed in elderly patients. But today, the lifestyle, working conditions, mobile phone addiction and lack of awareness have contributed much to these issues in youngsters. It’s time for retrospection and correction.
