The Package will include combination of following treatments in consultation with our resident Doctor: 

Synchronised abhyanga
Rejuvenating whole bodies massage using medicated oil chosen according to body-type. Performed by two therapists working in tandem, whose synchronised movements harmonise the rhythms of all the body systems while enhancing proper and balanced energy flow through the gross and subtle bodies. Abhyanga increases blood circulation, lymphatic flow, relieves fatigue and aches and pains and generally relaxes and nourishes the body and strengthens immunity. It also relaxes the mind and smoothes the emotions.

Pizhichil
Warmed and medicated oil is rhythmically squeezed from linen cloths all over the body by two therapists with a simultaneous gentle massage. This is a remedy for eliminating toxins stored in the body, that often manifest as arthritis, rheumatism, debility, nervous disorders and certain skin diseases.

Kizhy
Warm herbal bundles in cotton and medicated oils are applied to the effected area. Used to combat conditions such as stiffness, pain and inflammation, this treatment is recommended for a minimum of three days.

Nhavarakkizhi
Cloth bundles filled with a preparation of medicated rice are soaked in a decoction of nutritive medicinal herbs and milk, and then rubbed over the entire body. The effect is highly rejuvenating, and treats neurological weakness, muscle wasting, degenerative diseases and certain types of arthritis and rheumatism.

Shirodhara
In this treatment, medicated oil, chosen according to your body type, is poured continuously over the forehead in a gentle flow, accompanied by a gentle scalp massage. This delightfully soothing procedure is very effective in treating insomnia, mental stress and tiredness, anxiety, headache and migraine. 

Yoga at the Hermitage

Yoga is an indispensable aid to good health and our yoga programme at the Hermitage is under the tutelage of Dr. Saranya Pullur (BNYS), who is a consultant doctor for Yoga and Naturopathy for eleven years. Dr. Pullur has a bachelor degree in Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences, SDM Naturopathy College, Ujre. MSc. Clinical Nutrition from Mysore University. She is experienced in Holistic Health streams like Yoga, Hydrotherapy, Diet and Exercise-based Lifestyle modifications, Acupuncture, Acupressure, Reflexology, Manipulative therapies, Physiotherapy, Colour therapy, and Ayurveda.

Dr. Saranya offers a complimentary class each morning from 8 – 8.45 am. This is really for beginners, so those of you are practiced in yoga or would like more advanced tuition one-to-one (or in very small groups of two or three maximum) are advised to book a private class with her. These are available at your convenience throughout the day.

All classes take place in our beautiful Patanjali Yoga Hall near the beach.

Meditation component: Supplement cost INR. 3000 for 2 days, INR. 5000 for 3 days and INR.7000 for 5 days per person.
This is also a variable option, depending on the interest of the client. Meditation is taught on a one-to-one basis, for 2 to 5 days. All the details can be arranged between the client and the meditation instructor.

Peak Season supplement from 16th Dec to 28th Feb: INR 3000 per person per night

Please Note:
"Each of the programmes/treatments outlined will begin with a consultation with our resident Ayurvedic doctor. The consultation will last about twenty minutes and ascertain the clients case history, pulse diagnosis, blood pressure etc. to determine their body-type and modalities of treatment suitable to them. Therefore we reserve the right to modify the treatments described if deemed necessary by the doctor’s consultation".
“Treatments timing include Shower and Herbal body Scrubs”.

"On the unexplored northern part of the Malabar coast and flanked by a freshwater lagoon is this near-perfect heaven of peace and pampering. The cottages are designed and built along the traditional fisherman's thatched huts but each on with enough comforts to keep a five-star groupie enthralled."
