Improving health for the well and curing illness for the ailing: these are the aims of Ayurvedic medicine – and the same applies for our doctors and therapists.

On a daily basis our doctors and therapists use the extensive wealth of knowledge and experience that has been built up over more than 5000 years. They consider each patient as a unique individual. Diagnosis and treatment are made depending on each patient’s personal condition. Our success proves the validity of this approach.

MINIMUM DURATION: 21-28 DAYS
DURATION OF TREATMENT: 90-120 MIN.
DAILY GROUP YOGA FOR: BEGINNERS, ADVANCED STUDENTS
MEDITATION: INCLUDED
Losing weight, feeling freer and more comfortable as well as prevent the harmful effects that can occur due to overweight – these are the goals of this special Ayurvedic treatment. Traditional medicinal herbs play a central role in this treatment: they unfold their effect in powder massages, oils, steam baths and medicines. Individual and varied nutrition supports the treatment.
Our packages are all-round carefree offers. They include all treatments and medications as part of the treatment plan, ayurvedic full board, yoga, meditation and accommodation.
THOSE WHO LOSE WEIGHT WITH THE HELP OF AYURVEDA WILL HAVE AN EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCE: THIS FORM OF WEIGHT REDUCTION IS EASIER – AND MORE SUSTAINABLE – THAN MANY DIETS. THIS IS BECAUSE THE POUNDS DO NOT DIMINISH BY AVOIDING CERTAIN FOODS, BUT THROUGH A CHANGE IN METABOLISM. BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT DOSHAS, THE COURSE OF THE TREATMENT VARIES.
The first day: Your treatment begins with an initial consultation with an Ayurveda doctor. Based on examinations and questions about your life situation, he determines your Doshas. They are the basis for your individual treatment and diet plan. Afterwards you can look forward to a soothing full body massage with Ayurvedic oil, which is specially tailored to your Doshas. The treatment plan: On the following days you will receive individual treatments that detoxify the body. This above all this includes the daily massage with a special herbal powder. The special feature of this treatment is that you are synchronously massaged by two therapists for 30 to 45 minutes.
The detoxification phase will be concluded with the Vasti treatment. This special enema is a cornerstone of the treatment and removes undigested metabolic intermediates (Ama). Afterwards the build-up phase takes place – with herbal powder massages as well. After the treatments we recommend a period of rest so that the effect of the therapy can fully unfold.
The dietary plan: An important part of the slimming cure is a varied diet tailored to your Dosha type. The dishes support weight reduction. If you have any questions, Prasad, our restaurant manager, will be happy to help you. Prassad descends from an experienced Ayurveda family and masterfully knows how to combine the tastes of India with the demands of the treatment, so that pleasure is not neglected while adhering to the prescribed menu.
The relaxation exercises:Your treatment will be accompanied by yoga, meditation and relaxation exercises – for beginners as well as advanced practitioners. The daily consultation with the doctor ensures a successful course of treatment as he can react immediately to your needs.
The last day: A final comprehensive consultation ends your stay at the resort. Your doctor will determine the success of the treatment, discuss the most important results with you and will give you advice on how to integrate the requirements of your Ayurveda package into your daily life. Your personal final report, which you can take home with you, summarizes all the results.

Body Immunisation Package
Getting older and still not aging: With the Body Immunisation Package we come very close to this wish. The focus is on the knowledge of the Rasayanas. These are primarily rejuvenating remedies. The treatment leads to a transformation of the body tissue (dhatus) and counteracts negative influences.
Our packages are all-round carefree offers. They include all treatments and medications as part of the treatment plan, ayurvedic full board, yoga, meditation and accommodation.
PARTICULARLY SUITABLE FOR
- Frequent diseases Allergies
- Weakened immune system
- Previous exposure to toxins
- Digestive disorders
- Lack of exercise
THE COURSE OF TREATMENT IN THE IMMUNISATION PACKAGE IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PHASES: FIRST, THE BODY IS PREPARED BY VARIOUS PURIFICATION AND CLEANSING PROCEDURES AND THEN REBUILT BY CORRESPONDING TREATMENTS.
The first day: It starts with an initial consultation with an Ayurveda doctor. On the basis of questions and examinations he will determine your Dosha. This is followed immediately by the cleaning phase of the treatment. This is initiated with a particularly gentle soothing full-body massage. The ayurvedic herbal oil used is tailored to your Doshas. The treatment plan: The treatment includes applications that detoxify your body and remove harmful metabolic residues (ama). For example, the intake of ghee or medical oils (Snehapanam), steam baths with medicinal herbs or purgation (Virechanam). This is followed by the second phase with treatments that strengthen the immune system. Among other treatments warm oils are poured on the forehead (Dhara) and the king’s oil bath (Pizhichil) is given. Very important: Because the processes that take place in the body during the treatment cannot be accelerated externally, sufficient time is an essential factor when it comes to the immunization treatment. This isn’t a casual treatment that just runs by. Allow yourself this time – your cells will thank you for it.
The relaxation exercises: Yoga, meditation and relaxation exercises for beginners and advanced practitioners are part of your treatment plan. They also make a significant contribution to ensuring that you return home well rested.
The diet plan: Your Ayurveda package also includes an individual diet. As part of the initial examination, our doctors will put together a personal ayurvedic diet plan for you – according to the individual doshas. Various types of fruit, freshly squeezed juices, exotic spices: All this promises a varied and tasty diet that helps to detoxify and strengthen your body.

Sometimes, heartfelt friendships develop that extend beyond the stay in Somatheeram.
The last day: A final comprehensive consultation ends your stay at the resort. Your doctor will determine the success of the treatment, discuss the most important results with you and will give you advice on how to integrate the requirements of your Ayurveda package into your daily life.
