A week with one of the most experienced Ayurveda doctors
Stress, poor sleep, low energy. The body has long been signaling that something is wrong. In July, you have a week to change that - accompanied by Dr. Vignesh Devraj, fourth-generation Vaidya and founder of the Sitaram Retreat in Kerala.
Vaidya in fourth generation: his knowledge was passed on directly from father to son. This depth of tradition is rare.
Founder of Sitaram Beach Retreat Kerala: an internationally renowned Ayurveda retreat that he built from the ground up and runs himself.
Podcast host and sought-after speaker:he shares his knowledge with tens of thousands worldwide and makes classical Ayurveda understandable for modern life.
He combines classical Ayurvedic principles with evidence-based clinical practice: an approach that is still unusual in the Ayurveda world.
If you would like a personal individual consultation with Dr. Devraj, you can book this separately. Please note that Dr. Devraj only speaks English. The consultation with our in-house Ayurveda doctor is included in your treatment.
He is one of the best Ayurvedic doctors I have ever met. His ability to combine the ancient with the modern sets him apart from others.
