The Philosophy
Anandalakshmi may be translated as “the bliss bestowed by the goddess of prosperity.”
Designed to restore balance between mind, body, and soul, the treatment protocols at Anandalakshmi are rooted in the principles of Ayurveda with the goal of helping each guest heal from his or her ailments and improve their overall quality of life.
There is no requirement to undergo Panchakarma (rigorous detox) and there are no "obligatory" treatments at Anandalakshmy. Therefore, Anandalakshmy is suitable for people new to Ayurveda and wishing to experience Kerala Ayurveda or panchakarma for the first time.
Anandalakshmi is also suitable for people who have been to Manaltheeram, Somatheeram, Ayursoma and Dr. Franklin's Panchakarma Institute, but who desire a much more personalized experience or highly tailored approach to panchakarma in a non-dogmatic, low pressure environment.
Every treatment, meal, and activity is designed to promote harmony and balance among the five elements — earth, water, fire, air, and space — within the body.
Whether you seek relaxation, detox, or spiritual awakening, the retreat’s mission is to help you rediscover inner peace and vitality through personalized holistic healthcare.
