When it comes to achieving complete wellness—not just absence of disease but true balance of body, mind, and spirit—Ayurveda has stood the test of time for over 5000 years. At Tatva Ayurved Hospital, Calicut, our team of highly qualified doctors and therapists has been guiding patients from across India and abroad through their healing journeys. With decades of collective expertise, we combine classical Ayurvedic wisdom with modern diagnostic precision, offering individualized treatments that address the root cause of illness.
This blog is structured in a Q&A format—based on real patient questions we often receive. Along the way, we will share anonymized case studies from our hospital to illustrate how Ayurvedic treatments bring about profound healing.
Ayurveda focuses on balance, not just symptom control. Unlike modern medicine, which often relies on medication to suppress disease, Ayurveda identifies the underlying imbalance in the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—and corrects it through a combination of therapies, diet, lifestyle, and herbal formulations. At Tatva Ayurved, we’ve seen countless cases where patients came to us after years of trying multiple allopathic treatments without long-term relief. By focusing on detoxification, tissue rejuvenation, and personalized care, we help patients experience sustainable wellness.
Ayurveda offers a wide variety of treatments depending on the patient’s age, constitution (Prakriti), and health condition. At Tatva, we typically recommend:
These therapies are combined with Ayurvedic medicines, diet corrections, and lifestyle guidance to create a holistic healing plan.
Case Study 1 – Neuropathy Relief
Symptoms before treatment: A 46-year-old male (Mr. K) came to Tatva Ayurved with diabetic neuropathy, numbness in feet, tingling sensation, and frozen shoulder pain. He had been struggling with low energy and sleep disturbances.
Diagnostic approach: Nadi Pariksha (pulse reading), detailed medical history, and assessment of dosha imbalance (primarily aggravated Vata).
Custom Ayurvedic treatments used: A 9-day inpatient program with Abhyangam, Kativasti, and Basti therapy, along with herbal formulations like Ashwagandha and Dashamoolarishtam.
Progress over time: By day 5, pain levels reduced significantly, and numbness subsided. Sleep improved within a week.
Outcome and feedback: At discharge, the patient reported increased mobility, better sensitivity in feet, and renewed confidence in his daily life. He continues to follow a diet plan and yoga routine provided by our doctors.
Stress is one of the most common modern health challenges. Ayurveda views stress as an imbalance of Vata and Pitta. At Tatva, we recommend:
Case Study 2 – Anxiety & Insomnia
A young IT professional (Ms. S, 32) came with severe insomnia and anxiety due to work stress.
After 14 days of Shirodhara, Abhyangam, and Nasya, along with guided breathing practices, her sleep improved from 3–4 hours to a restful 7 hours.
Her feedback: “I feel like my mind has reset. This is the first time in years I feel energetic without coffee.”
Yes. Arthritis, spondylitis, and back pain are primarily Vata disorders. At Tatva, we have a protocol combining:
Case Study 3 – Severe Lower Back Pain
A retired teacher (Mr. R, 62) had chronic lumbar spondylosis and couldn’t sit for more than 20 minutes. After a 21-day Panchakarma program with Kativasti, Basti, and strengthening diet, he regained the ability to walk for an hour without pain.
His words: “Earlier I thought my mobility was gone forever. Now I walk daily without fear of pain returning.”
At Tatva Ayurved, we emphasize that treatment doesn’t end with therapy sessions—it extends into daily living. We recommend:
This is a common misconception. While Ayurveda focuses on long-term balance, many patients at Tatva notice immediate relief within days—like improved sleep, reduced pain, and lighter digestion. However, chronic conditions (arthritis, diabetes, neuropathy) require consistent treatment and follow-ups. Unlike “quick fixes,” Ayurveda creates lasting changes, not temporary suppression.
Here’s what you should look for:
At Tatva Ayurved, our team includes specialists with decades of experience, backed by patient testimonials and real-world outcomes.
Absolutely. Ayurveda is not about rejecting modern medicine but integrating where needed. For example, a diabetic patient may continue allopathic medication while undergoing Ayurvedic detox to improve insulin sensitivity. Many patients at Tatva follow a combined approach under the guidance of our doctors.
Day 1: Detailed consultation with pulse diagnosis and lifestyle assessment.
Is Ayurveda safe for everyone?
Yes. Ayurveda is safe when practiced under the supervision of qualified doctors. At Tatva Ayurved Hospital Calicut, we customize treatments based on age, health status, and medical history. However, pregnant women, children, and patients with critical illnesses need special care and carefully tailored therapies.
How often should one undergo Panchakarma
Panchakarma is best done once or twice a year as a preventive and rejuvenative measure. Many of our patients at Tatva return for seasonal detox—especially during seasonal transitions (like monsoon or spring)—to keep immunity strong and prevent diseases.
Can children benefit from Ayurvedic treatments?
Absolutely. Children often receive milder therapies such as Abhyangam (oil massage), Nasyam for respiratory issues, and herbal formulations for immunity. At Tatva, parents often consult us for recurrent colds, digestive issues, or attention concerns in children. Treatments are gentle, safe, and non-invasive.
Are Ayurvedic treatments effective for lifestyle disorders like diabetes, obesity, or hypertension?
Yes. Ayurveda is highly effective in managing lifestyle-related conditions by addressing the root causes such as poor digestion, stress, and irregular routines. At Tatva, we combine herbal medicines, detox therapies, and diet plans with ongoing lifestyle coaching, helping patients improve sugar levels, reduce cholesterol, and achieve sustainable weight loss.
How long does it take to see results with Ayurveda?
It depends on the condition:
Can Ayurveda and modern medicine be taken together?
Yes. Many patients continue allopathic medication alongside Ayurvedic treatment. For example, a diabetic patient may still take insulin while receiving Ayurvedic therapies to strengthen digestion, improve nerve health, and reduce complications. At Tatva, our doctors carefully design protocols that complement ongoing medical care without conflict.
Do Ayurvedic treatments have side effects?
When taken without supervision, over-the-counter Ayurvedic medicines can sometimes be misused. But under expert guidance at a hospital like Tatva Ayurved, treatments are safe and free of harmful side effects. In fact, many patients come to us specifically because they want to avoid the long-term side effects of painkillers, steroids, or sleep medications.
How do I know if an Ayurvedic hospital is authentic?
Look for:
At Tatva Ayurved, these are the foundations of our care, which is why we have patients returning year after year for wellness programs.
Does Ayurveda only focus on physical health?
No. Ayurveda sees health as a balance of body, mind, and spirit. Treatments like Shirodhara, Abhyangam, and meditation therapy help reduce stress, anxiety, and mental fatigue. At Tatva, we encourage patients to adopt holistic routines including yoga, pranayama, and mindful eating for complete well-being.
How do I start my Ayurvedic wellness journey at Tatva?
It begins with a detailed consultation (in person or online consultation). Our doctors analyze your medical history, dosha balance, lifestyle, and current symptoms. A customized plan is then drawn up—including therapies, medicines, and diet recommendations. Many patients begin with a short 7–14 day detox and continue with supportive care at home, guided by regular follow-ups.
