Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We do not use commercial bulk oils. Our medicinal oils (thailams), herbal decoctions (kashayams), and poultice bundles (kizhis) are prepared directly inside our clinic pharmacy following hereditary palm-leaf manuscripts (thaliyola) inherited from our lineage.

Many patients suffering from Cervical Spondylosis, Lumbar Disc Prolapse (L4-L5/L5-S1), and Sciatica experience significant symptom reduction through conservative Kalari care. Our treatments combine warm medicated oil pooling (Greeva/Kati Vasti), tailored Kalari Uzhichil, and careful Marma stimulation to reduce inflammation, release deep muscular tension around compressed nerve roots, and improve spinal flexibility. Case suitability is determined through clinical evaluation and review of existing MRI/X-ray reports.

Kalari Chikitsa is a structured clinical discipline. Our Vaidyar determines the specific therapeutic protocol only after evaluating spinal alignment, joint range of motion, marma sensitivity, and overall constitution. Because therapies work in precise physiological stages, consistency with the recommended plan is critical for therapeutic benefit.

No. While Kalari massage uses firm, rhythmic pressure to stimulate deep muscle tissues and unblock energy pathways, it is performed with skilled therapeutic touch and warm medicinal oils. Any mild sensitivity around congested marma points generally eases as muscle spasm reduces over the first few sessions.

Yes, absolutely. Belonging to the traditional Kalariyil Devarmana family, Srilakshmi M, our General Manager and Senior Kalari Marma Treatment Specialist, represents the valuable role of women in a field where treatment centres with female practitioners are relatively few. Trained under the guidance of a Guru and dedicated to Guru Parampara, she personally heads our dedicated Women's Chikilsa Wing. All therapies for women—including full-body Uzhichil, spinal Marma realignment, Kizhi, and herbal oil baths—are conducted in private, dignified therapy suites exclusively by experienced female practitioners, ensuring women of all ages can walk in freely and receive treatment with complete comfort, peace of mind, and absolute privacy.

To ensure optimal response to herbal oils and promote tissue recovery, patients are advised to follow a light, nourishing diet and avoid cold food, alcohol, strenuous lifting, and prolonged travel during the active treatment course. Specific guidelines are provided during your clinical evaluation.

Navajeevanam provides an honest, individualised clinical assessment before beginning any treatment course. If our Vaidyar determines that a patient's condition can be treated effectively through traditional Kalari Chikitsa, we outline a clear therapeutic protocol, expected recovery milestones, and pathyam guidelines. We only recommend courses where meaningful clinical benefit can be reasonably achieved.

Yes. Patients regularly visit us from across India and overseas for residential 7, 14, and 21-day treatment courses. Our team assists with scheduling coordination, guidance from Trivandrum International Airport (TRV), and recommendations for comfortable local accommodation.
