We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with Sharada Hospital in Mangalore, India, where we send students for advanced Ayurveda training and patients for authentic Pancha Karma treatments.
The first edition of this training and Pancha Karma program (2024/2025) was a resounding success, with students gaining a wealth of knowledge and enjoying an unforgettable experience. Read all about it in the post below (in Dutch).
This collaboration immerses students in the heart of authentic Ayurveda through a dynamic program filled with morning classes on classical texts, hands-on practice in the Ayurveda garden and pharmacy, and even unique anatomy lessons that would be unimaginable in the Netherlands. Guided by passionate teachers, students engage in practical research and intensive learning experiences. The curriculum is fast-paced, delivering a vast amount of new insights, but thoughtfully designed to include moments for reflection, note-taking, and processing knowledge.
Patients, meanwhile, benefit from traditional Pancha Karma treatments in the serene and authentic setting of Sharada Hospital. This partnership offers both students and patients a transformative journey into the world of Ayurveda.

General Medicine — Kayachikitsa
While modern medicine excels in technological advancements and emergency management, it often lacks a holistic approach. Ayurveda, on the other hand, considers individual sensibilities, especially digestive and metabolic activity, in treatment design. Kayachikitsa, one of the eight branches of Ayurveda, deals with multisystem diseases in adults, managing conditions involving the nervous, respiratory, musculoskeletal, and urogenital systems.
At Sharada, we handle challenging cases like G.B Syndrome, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Parkinson’s disease, Sciatica, Paralysis, Thyroiditis, and Vasculitis. We utilize unique classical references of Rasayana to manage these diseases, which has been key to our success. Understanding an individual’s Prakruti and analyzing the involved doshas is crucial in disease management. Our Department of Kayachikitsa follows this tradition, standing together for the health and well-being of every person who seeks our help.
