& Traditional Ayurvedic
Education
Kerala is globally known as the source of authentic Ayurvedic education and practice due to its unbroken tradition that survived a series of invasions in India, its focus on the plant-based wellness and healing approach, and its unique geographical stature with the Western Ghats on the eastern side and the Arabian Sea on the west that brings unmatched biodiversity and abundant flora and fauna.
Starting as a small scale Ayurvedic center and apothecary in Aluva, Kerala in 1945, Kerala Ayurveda has now grown to an international Educational and Healing institution. Since our founding, Kerala Ayurveda has been a leader in all realms of Ayurveda. Our first Ayurvedic apothecary was established in Aluva in 1948 with several branches of the formulation outlets present throughout Kerala by the 1970s. A close connection to the traditional herbs has always been prioritized by Kerala Ayurveda and inspired the establishment of an herbarium and medicinal herbal garden to ensure quality through all points of the herbal manufacturing process.
In addition to the proliferation of herbal healthcare, Kerala Ayurveda has provided a wide range of in-patient Ayurvedic treatments and maintained a Panchakarma center for decades. In 1998, a 20-bed Ayurvedic hospital was established in Aluva to provide even more services to an international clientele. Natural beauty and ancient wisdom combined to create AyurvedaGram, our premier Ayurvedic wellness resort, in 2000 in Bangalore. Since opening, it has won numerous awards from ASSOCHAM, TripAdvisor, and many others for its excellence in the Ayurvedic services provided there.
At the core, Kerala Ayurveda is committed to practicing Ayurveda authenticity and staying in complete alignment with the ancient texts of Ayurveda. All Kerala Ayurveda doctors and faculty share this commitment which inspired the Kerala Ayurveda Academy, India to be opened in 2000. The academy’s success is measured by the thousands of Ayurvedic students who have studied with Kerala Ayurveda throughout India, in the US, and across the globe with our online programs. The various short courses and certification programs offered ensure that there will be a class to benefit a novus Ayurvedic student, as well as more advanced classes that even experienced doctors will benefit from.
We invite you to join the Kerala Ayurveda family to learn how this ancient wisdom can benefit your life today.

Testimonials
Namaskar, I had recently finished with my Ayurvedic cosmetology course from your academy. It was a wonderful learning experience in this course. The topics were covered in detail with utmost clarity. The entire faculty was excellent is departing in-depth knowledge regarding concepts of Ayurveda related to Skin, Hair, Mouth and Foot care. The sessions were extensive and elaborate and the faculty was proactive in clearing all my doubts during the sessions. The faculty especially Dr. Anumol P Antappan, BAMS was excellent in her teaching. Looking forward to much more such learning experiences from your academy.

I had great time learning about Ayurveda. The teachers were great and teach us little things that are hard to learn in books, they resolve all the doubts and gave us lots of advice. I really enjoyed the classes, being with the teachers was a great experience to know more of Ayurveda. Great to see the Demos & hands on training sessions. The learning being applicated, is not the same writing it that actually seeing & feeling it. Great teachers!!!

I found Kerala Ayurveda academy on Google & done one course earlier and which made me come back for another one!! Learning experience was excellent as always. The teachers make the course not just interesting but absolutely worth the travel time and money. Demo & hands on training sessions were very clearly explained and easily understood. In general the class room experience was exemplary. The teachers are well read & well informed. As such, the lectures were interesting; the outside text knowledge added more value and helped with deeper understanding of topics. Thank you for the wonderful learning experience & making Ayurveda for non Ayurvedics, A non intimidating & manageable learning!!!!
