Peringode · Kerala · Since generations
Care shaped by tradition, and by you.
Traditional Ayurvedic care in a quiet corner of Palakkad, with each stay considered around the individual.
Our approach
Treatment begins with attention—not a menu.
Each stay begins with consultation and a care plan shaped around the guest’s condition, constitution, and daily needs. The physician determines which therapies are appropriate and how they should be prepared.
Our work draws on Kerala’s Ayurvedic and Kalari traditions, bringing together treatment, prescribed food, rest, and attentive residential care.
Traditional practice, individual guidance
Practice
Three traditions at the heart of our work.
A glimpse of the physician-directed therapies that may form part of a wider course of care.
Chavitty Uzhichil
Chavitty Uzhichil is a traditional Kerala martial-arts massage performed with the feet using controlled, rhythmic pressure. The practice is intended to support flexibility, circulation, muscular recovery, and general vitality, and has long been associated with Kalari training and injury care.
Shirodhara
Shirodhara is a classical Ayurvedic therapy in which a continuous stream of warm medicated oil or another prescribed liquid is directed over the forehead. It is traditionally used as part of care for restlessness, disrupted sleep, stress-related concerns, and nervous-system support.
Pizhichil
During Pizhichil, lukewarm medicated oil is poured over the body in a continuous, rhythmic manner while gentle massage is performed. The course and duration are selected by the physician and may be used in traditional care for stiffness, inflammation, weakness, and rheumatic concerns.
Guest note
“We came to Peringode during the Christmas holiday for a seven-day treatment. Travelling from the United States, this was a completely new experience for me. I have always been passionate about wellness and holistic medicine, and I was delighted with my time at Peringode.”
