Ayurbook / Conditions

What classical Ayurveda offers, by condition

Condition by condition: the classical reading, the therapies, the honest limits, and real prices. No cures promised — a physician decides what fits you.

Each guide below follows the same honest frame: how the classical texts read the condition, the therapies they prescribe, how long a programme runs, what it costs in Kerala — and what an honest physician will and won't promise. Prescribed medication is never stopped; physicians coordinate.

How these guides are written

We lead with the classical position — Charaka, Sushruta, the Ashtanga Hridaya tradition Kerala practises — and with what established Kerala physicians actually prescribe. We don't promise cures (for many conditions Indian law forbids it, and honest medicine doesn't need it), and we never tell you to stop prescribed medication. Where a case belongs in a hospital, the guides say so plainly. The same honesty governs how we verify centres.

From condition to centre

Condition, dates, budget. We put it to a physician at a verified Kerala centre and reply with an honest answer and a written price — same day.
