While at The Health Village, you will learn from experienced Ayurvedic doctors and practitioners, participating in clinical rounds, consultations, assessment and the practice of clinical management — gaining indispensable knowledge from the new lessons and perspectives. Additionally, you will work alongside the doctors and practitioners while making oils and decoctions as well as learning the proper techniques for various Ayurvedic therapies. Under their supervision, you will be able to practice these techniques and benefit from their immediate guidance.

Kerala Ayurveda believes that directly experiencing these practices for yourself will bring the most appreciation for their profound benefits. Each intern will have the opportunity to enjoy one session of two different Ayurvedic therapies.

You will quickly learn that The Health Village is one part of a whole Kerala Ayurveda network throughout the area. Not far from The Health Village are multiple outpatient offices, an herb garden, processing facility and pharmacy, all of which you will visit. The appointments at the outpatient offices are fascinating, providing you with a first hand look at how Ayurveda is helping the people of India today.
