Athreya Ayurvedic Centre is an excellent choice for people who wish to seek an experience in a medical resort for body detox , mental/psyche rejuvenation, weight loss and curing ailments which has been deemed ''hopeless' by other systems of medicines and most importantly for those who wish to increase immunity from diseases and wishing to delay the affects of ageing in their mind and body This is owned and run by a family of physicians with 5 generations legacy in Ayurveda healthcare. Panchakarma & Kuti Pravesika Rasayana are the hallmark services of this centre that has 17 cottages and 8 rooms and so it is medium sized medical resort making every client feel lot of personal space Most rooms/cottages face either the paddy fields in november to march segment or the lake in april to october segment.Very clean and serene surroundings and very peaceful 9 kms away from the town of kottayam The food served is vegetarian, herbal drinks are served & doctors monitor the quality of same

I have been visiting Athreya since 2015, and in November 2023, it was my 5th visit to the place. The place is a blessing in my life, and whenever I require cure or rejuvenation, I come here. For people who are looking for ayurveda treatment, this is one of the best places to be in India. Dr. Sreejit, the chief physician, is highly skilled in the field whose understanding of patients' problems and its solution are sometimes astounding. My experience is that he goes far beyond general consultation and treatment and helps people in every possible way during and after the stay, which is very essential for overall well-being in the long term. Over the years, I came across many repeat patients from across the world and have witnessed the team and place evolved, which is good to keep up with changing time. As an Indian I would say that the price is reasonably placed, given that it includes accommodation, food, treatments, medicines during the stay, and the exceptional service provided by all the staff. I have firmly believed that similar to financial investment, one needs to invest in health regularly to keep getting return in the long term. I must also point out that the place is not a fancy 4 or 5 star hotel but people who are genuinely looking for Ayurveda treatment and well being, this is a beautiful place made of traditional cottages with modern amenities in a village setting with high attention from doctors and staffs. As a regular visitor, I hope the feedback helps readers in make their own decision and my high recommendation for the place as always! …

Ayurveda starts with the right competent doctor. Dr. Sreejiit: As an Ayurvedic doctor he is a coriphae, expert in his field and as a person warm, open and always available. He captures very fast the situation, the health status of the body. No matter how long you stay, he puts enornmous efforts in making the best out of the days you will be there. I just finished 11 days of treatment, a condensed, very rich Panchakarma suitable for my needs. How I feel can be not transmitted via text, but rest assured, it is amazing feeling, blood circulation gives me a natural feeling of beeing energetic with a healthy metabolism. It is not a wellness walk, it is serious and tough body work to get cleansed and rejuvenated. The bungalows are very clean, fit for purpose, food is amazing and therapists understand what they do. It is my 3rd or 4th time here, and I don‘t no a better place, because there is no better doctor. …

I arrived in Athreya very unwell and basically in a mess, mentally and physically. I immediately saw the most amazing doctor I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Dr Sreejit, where do I start! is one of the best Ayurvedic Doctors in the world, his knowledge is boundless, his duty of care was so professional but also filled with care and kindness, he feels like family to me now and always will. I was on 2 different types of antidepressants and sleeping tablets, I had put on 20kgs in just over a year and was so swollen I had trouble walking, the pain in my feet and legs was unbearable. I felt as if my body was just giving up on me, I knew in my heart I was on the verge of being very sick, the only treatment I could think of to treat me mentally and physically at the same time was Ayurveda. I knew quite a bit about it and had used it before for minor ailments. I think my family thought I was mad to start with but knew that I needed to do something. After speaking to Dr Sreejit on the phone, because I have to say he’s honest if he doesn’t think he can help he will tell you so. I caught quickest flight out I could. I had to go through a detox because I was full of toxins. Even though I had a few tough days, I just felt so loved and cared for by all the staff. I had 2 lovely girls who looked after me every day for the whole six weeks and gave me all my treatments. After 2 weeks I started slowly feeling better, the weight was dropping off, even though I was eating plenty of wonderfully prepared food everyday. I felt as if I had been stripped of all the bad things inside me and had been rebuilt into healthier, stronger happier version of myself. I can never thank Dr Sreejit and all the staff for helping me. I left no longer need any medication and I am back to my normal weight. No more swelling, no more anxiety, no joint pain, clearer skin. Just happy being happy. Can I also just say the whole place is magical, no it’s not super fancy but there is an energy surrounding the place which just fills you with peace and calm, something I definitely didn’t have before I arrived. The rooms are very clean and have just what you need. Please don’t ever change the way it is, we come to heal there not for material things and it changed the way I now live myself. I was quite a materialistic person before but after walking along the paddy fields daily and seeing people with so little and who were so happy, taught me how unimportant all the things I had in my life were. I know spirituality isn’t for everyone but something there changed the way I now see life and what is really important. Even though I travelled to Athreya by myself I never felt alone, I felt safe whenever I went out into Kottyam usually by TukTuk with a lovely English speaking driver. I loved going to the temples and visiting different holy men. Honestly the whole trip changed my life, I miss Athreya and all the staff and I can’t thank you all enough, you saved my life and my family thank you too. I can’t wait to come back 🙏…

I stayed for over 2 weeks but did not benefit from the treatment. I think other people seemed to benefit from the treatment and really saw improvement but it did not work for me. I felt slightly worse by the time I came back. Staff is polite and the food is good but they do not accomodate any food restrictions. The place is very hospitable with the staff taking care of the needs of the guests. Some of the rooms can be quite dark so probably a good idea to ask them before booking. The doctor seems to have a good knowledge of ayurveda but I wish he was more empathetic and actually listened to the patients more. He tried his best to cure me but unfortunately it did not work. I also find the way they react to negative reviews on Trip Advisor is a bit immature where they blame the reviewers instead of taking the critical feedback and try to improve which can intimidate people to leave reviews when they are not so positive. …

At Athreya you fully check-in your body and mind. For those who seek for help, this is the place to be. The doctors and therapists have found their callings, and being treated by them is serious business. People who wish to relax by a pool while sipping coconuts after relaxing oil massages should look for other places ... I like that kind of thing as well, but I came for renewal and change. 2 or 3 weeks of Panchakarma at Athreya are not for the faint hearted, but do help – that is my conclusion. And isn`t that the best thing that can happen? Everyone at Athreya is very welcoming and friendly. The bungalows offer all you need to unwind and if you need anything on top, just ask. Yes, this is a recommendation! Go for it!

Me with family visited Athreya Ayurveda last July . We had a great experience of hospitality and ayurvedic treatments. Dr.Sreejit and Dr.Jayalekshmi with entire staff personify authentic Ayurveda with excellent services. I had interaction with other guests who had got great relief at Athreya for their ailments which they could not get from other systems and modalities.The interaction with Doctors happens much earlier with a pre arrival consultation and video information of the treatments before booking. Hats off to Dr.Sreejit who provides keen attention to details personally which produces great results . The stay and short sightseeing trip gave us a memorable experience for which we are eager and happy to revisit.

This was my 2nd in-patient therapy in Athreya. Dr. Sreejith and Dr. Jayalakshmi were the first in mind when I felt my body and mind needed healing. The ambiance, clean environment, warm-lit cottages, and healthy food add authenticity to the therapies. The therapists' professionalism is to be highlighted; they take extreme care so as not to make the patient uncomfortable. I had a short stay of 7 days only due to my busy schedule, but under the strict guidance of Dr. Sreejith, I could do the traditional ayurvedic therapy that involves the consumption of medicated ghee called Snehapana at home. This was a big game changer as my body underwent quite a lot of visible changes. I believe that this enhanced the effectiveness of other therapies. I am forever grateful to Dr. Sreejith for his expertise and care. Not to forget the lil bundle of joy you get during your stay; Agnivesh (Doctor's son), never forgets to check on the guests as well. …

I attended a two-week Panchakarma detoxification program from October 9th through October 24th. After researching and talking to multiple family and friends I decided on Ayhreya Ayurveda Center based on the great reviews I got. Athreya Ayurveda is a family-owned professionally run healthcare facility. I like how clean the facilities were with the ambience of a resort but a very disciplined wellness center. I was assigned a care team of Manoj and Jijo for my stay and they executed on the treatment protocols based on the customized program designed by Dr. Sreejit and Dr. Jayalakshmi. Manoj was amazing and he knew my body and how well it responded to the treatments by end of the program. The doctors meet you every day to check on how you respond to the treatments and intervene in case of any emergencies. I like how professionally they run the program without losing the family atmosphere. All the employees are always smiling and seem very happy to work there. The food was tasty and healthy, and I have learnt to enjoy and appreciate the vegetarian foods. Over the one month I have followed the program I have seen significant improvement in my blood panel, feel highly energetic, sleep well and have appositive outlook to life. I would recommend the three-week program as I heard great reviews from the other patients who were going through the program.I wish to do the three-week program on my 60th birthday. Thank you to the great team at Athreya for making it a memorable experience!…

My three-week stay at the Ayurvedic Center was both challenging and invigorating. It was my first experience of an Ayurvedic retreat, and it was an extraordinary discovery of this ancient practice that allows us to analyze the origin of our problems and then recommend personalized treatments. The treatments were really adapted to my pace, my ailments and the improvements I noticed during my stay. The doctors were extremely attentive to my needs and followed me daily. Thanks to this retreat, I have gained a healthier lifestyle and a deeper understanding of the issues that need to be addressed. The highlight was the disappearance of my double lumbar sciatica pain, thanks to the expertise of the doctors and therapists. I would like to express my deep gratitude to the entire team at the Ayurvedic Center for their kindness and availability. My stay there did me a world of good and I plan to return every year. Namaste!…

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the incredible experience I had under Athreya Ayurvedic Centre and Dr. Sreejit's care. Before embarking on this journey, I was unprepared, hadn't done any research, and frankly, didn't fully understand the value of the treatment I was about to receive. However, I made the decision to come when I was mentally ready and prepared, and I am so grateful that I did. I was genuinely taken aback by the power, professionalism, and attention to detail in the treatment I received. The personnel and therapists were very good. Their happiness, friendliness, and attentiveness made me feel not just like a patient, but like a valued guest. The overall service was very good, and I have to mention our server, Sudheesh, who went above and beyond to ensure that every guest's needs were met, especially when it came to dietary restrictions or medication requirements. One more recognition to Silbi for chasing us everyday to get our vitals and to our Divja for helping us with all the administrative work!!! The monitoring and follow-up system by Dr. Sreejit, Dr. Jayalakshmi, and Dr. Sharol Rashid - were very caring and professional. I always felt in good hands. Dr. Sreejit, leader of the Athreya Ayurvedic Centre was always on top of the Patients' treatment, questions, concerns, and requests. Dr. Sreejit is very accurate on his diagnosis and suggested treatment for each Patient depending of the Health condition of each one. My therapists, Manesh and Nibin, were exceptional. Their professionalism, care, attention to detail, and attentiveness to every aspect of my treatment were truly commendable. The resort is well maintained, providing a tranquil and soothing environment for healing. I also want to extend my appreciation to the housekeeping crew, who were not only nice but also professional and efficient. This experience has been life-changing for me, and I can't thank you and your team enough for making it possible. I am leaving with a sense of renewal and gratitude. Sincerely, Jose…
