🌿 Spa & Wellness Overview — What the Somatheeram "Spa" Is
Somatheeram isn't a typical day-spa with facials and hot stones — instead, it's a traditional Ayurvedic wellness centre and hospital-style treatment resort that focuses on authentic Indian Ayurveda medicine.
What You Can Expect
✔ Holistic Ayurvedic Therapies
Based on ancient Indian healing practices, aimed at balancing the body and mind.
✔ Medical Supervision
Treatments medically prescribed and supervised by Ayurvedic doctors.
✔ Daily Yoga & Meditation
Integrated with your treatment plan for comprehensive wellness.
✔ Tropical Beachfront Environment
A calm setting in Kerala with minimal modern spa trappings — focus is on healing, not luxury spa bells and whistles.
✔ Traditional Therapies
Oil massages (Abhyanga), Shirodhara (warm oil on forehead), Panchakarma detox procedures, herbal steam, and more, customized to your constitution (dosha).
In short, the "spa experience" at Somatheeram is medical-Ayurveda wellness, focused on therapeutic outcomes rather than casual relaxation alone.
