“Daivam paathi, Chatharu Nair paathi”
“Half by God, half by Chatharu Nair”

This popular saying reflects the deep reverence people held for the legendary Ayurvedic healer, Shri Chatharu Nair. His profound knowledge of Ayurveda and his development of numerous life-saving formulations brought new hope and healing to thousands. His contributions have not only transformed lives but have become an enduring legacy in the world of traditional medicine. This rich tradition was carried forward with dedication and expertise by his disciple, Vaidyan Gangadharan Nair. Under his care, many patients — including those for whom modern medicine offered no solution — have found lasting relief and recovery through authentic Ayurvedic treatments.

“Today, Panchakarma is widely recognized, and many believe it to encompass the entirety of Ayurveda. However, it's important to note that Panchakarma was later refined by Ayurvedic physicians, particularly from Kerala, who developed specialized therapeutic processes — especially in the form of oil therapies.

Renowned treatments such as Pizhichil and Dhara emerged from these innovations. These therapies are the result of in-depth exploration into the benefits of oil-based treatments. A course of Pizhichil and Dhara serves as an excellent rejuvenating measure for both body and mind and is now commonly practiced as a milder alternative to more intensive detoxification therapies.

Such practices reflect the profound depth and evolving tradition of Kerala’s Ayurveda.”
