Sreehareeyam Ayurveda · Chennai Book a consultation

आयुर्वेद Chennai · since the Vedic period

Seven generations of physicians, one consultation away.

Sreehareeyam is a centre for Ayurvedic treatment and research. Its strength rests on its team of doctors — and on a medicine that has been continuously practised since the Vedic period.

The physicians

Four people, one lineage.

A founder who has practised for forty-five years, a Medical Director who sits on the board of a 17,000-member pharmacy, a Chief Consultant initiated into the Ashta Vaidyan tradition of Kerala, and a Yoga Acharya certified by the Ministry of AYUSH. Three of them are one family.

The method

Two roads, chosen after assessment.

Sreehareeyam adheres strictly to Ayurvedic principle. Every case resolves to one of two approaches — and which one, and how much of it, is decided by the vaidya after examining the patient. Never before.

Sodhana

Panchakarma — the eliminative therapies

Five procedures that cleanse the body of increased or vitiated doshas. Not all five are used on any one person: in each disease only specific doshas rise, and every procedure is specific to a dosha.

  • Vamana
  • Virecana
  • Vasti
  • Nasya
  • Rakta mokshana

Samana

Pacifying medicine

Ayurvedic medicines administered to treat the specific condition. Used where a patient has no time for Panchakarma, and for minor conditions that do not require it. Duration ranges from a single course to a year or more, depending on severity.

Alongside both sit the classical external therapies — 7 of them, from Abhyangam to Netra vasti.

Research and public health

A clinic that publishes.

Sreehareeyam’s COVID work produced a case report in the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine, a longitudinal comparison across 1,000 hospital admissions in Uttar Pradesh, and a preventive programme that reached 19,084 people across twelve Tamil Nadu villages.

Consult

Most of our patients never come to Chennai.

Consultation is by telemedicine, and has been since well before it was fashionable. If you are in Chennai, the clinic is at Thiruvanmiyur.

For fixing appointments only. Appointments fixed on availability slots. Thank you for your patience.
