FOUNDER & DIRECTOR OF KAIRALI – THE AYURVEDIC HEALING VILLAGE AT PALAKKAD, IN HER TALKS WITH ZUZANA ZWIEBEL, UNRAVELED THE HISTORY & SMALL SECRETS OF THE RESORT. HERE ARE SOME INTERESTING THOUGHTS, PICKED BY US.

Kairali Ayurvedic Group's signature retreat 'The Ayurvedic Healing Village' is situated int Palakkad, just a few kilometers from the world's biggest mountain pass between Kerala and Tamil Nadu. There is no better place to get inside nature and rejuvenate with natural medicine than the sweet scented forests of Kerala's Pala trees. Time spent at this unique jungle paradise will allow you to experience the authentic healing practices of ancient India, while relaxing in the lap of modern holistic luxury.

THE ROOTS OF KAIRALI

Way back, our forefathers had given us this knowledge and it has percolated down through centuries through our family. We used to do manufacturing of ayurveda products, which were researched and developed from the year 1948. The Kairali Ayurvedic Group was established in 1989, when we opened the first ayurveda center in Delhi. Ten years later Kairali - The Ayurvedic Healing Village was established in Palakkad. We pioneered in setting up the center, at a time when ayurveda was nearly fading away and people of India also was not aware of subject, what is ayurveda.

THE AYURVEDIC HEALING VILLAGE

This is a most serene place where you could come and relax, revive and rejuvenate yourself by ayurvedic therapies. As ayurveda says, you have to take care of your body so that you will live healthy and keep your body healthy. The preventive aspect of ayurveda is promoted a lot over here, besides also offering treatments for various diseases. Resort holds Green Leaf Certification, Ayurvedic Centre Hospital License National Accreditation Boards for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers and was awarded across the world for promoting Ayurveda. 


 

PALAKKAD, THE HOMETOWN OF AYURVEDA

The roots of our family belong to Palakkad, place which is considered hometown of ayurveda and place with the most preserved cultural traditions of Kerala. Surrounded by the Western Ghats, geographically, it is ideal place for practising ayurveda. Resort is situated in the middle of the paddy fields, with rich flora and fauna and its pure pollution free environment and fresh air is much better for ayurveda healing, than salty sea air on the beaches. 

Recommended airports: Coimbatore (56 km), Cochin (116 km)

HEALING IN THE FLOW OF THE LIFE

The contour of the property was left as it was, as the flow of the life - up and down. Also the flow of the water in front of every cottages was designed to give a very peaceful and a meditating feeling of mind, which relaxes you completely. We planted trees and herbs in and around the cottages. The very air that you breathe itself has a very curative effect. Open space was very important. 

This whole property was kept with the norms of ayurveda and the whole place is just ayurveda and nothing else.


 

LIVING WITH THE STARS

We have built 30 cottages according to Vastu Shastra (India version of Feng Shui) and every cottage was named after a Nakshatra (Star in Vedic Astrology). In every room was placed sacred conch shell which gives a positive vibrations. We didn't make a huge structures. If you walk around, you will see, that the most of the cottages face to the sun and have the sunlight coming in. The water flow idea also came in because we have to have always some music like effect around the place. That gives you a really relaxed feeling in the body.

We are offering three types of cottages Deluxe Villa, Royal Villa and Maharaja Suite.

THE TASTE OF LIFE

All the sixth tastes, you will find in the food that we'll give you, three times meal a day. Keeping in mind also the prakriti that a person is. Whether he's a vata prakriti, pitta prakriti or a kapha prakriti, the food has to suit all types.I wrote a book called “Ayurveda Cook Book” which talks about almost a similar diet that we're giving here at the Ayurveda Healing Village. It is a very simple purely vegetarian diet very easily digestible. Food and vegetables that we use are growing mostly in our garden. The food is given in portions, as much as a body requires, not excess, not less.

YOGA IS A SISTER OF AYURVEDA

Both are mentioned in the Vedas, they are the pillars of the same subject. Whatever you're doing in yoga or practising  during ayurvedic treatments, it leads to healing and you are improving your health. The digestion is improving, your laxity in the body is increasing, immunity system and alertness is increasing. To all people who come to visit us, we offer the yoga and the meditation practices. But in some cases, if they are undergoing certain therapies, we restrict them from practising the yoga exercise. It is up to the doctor’s decision after checking, consulting and examining the patient.


 

GOD'S OWN HELP

We believe in the healing power of Astro-Ayurveda. Astrology is coming from the same Vedas as ayurveda. When you are very sick and you realize that whatever we are doing, it's not helping you, it's not curing you, then we look into astrology. We check the houses of your astrology chart, looking at the position of the planets and stars. If we see, that they are effecting you, we try to eliminate the power of disturbance. Based on the astrology chart, we offer the pujas to the gods of the planets. We try to reduce their influence in effort to get better results in the healing process.
