What We Offer

Authentic Kalari Treatment Rooted in Kerala's Ancient Healing Tradition

For 3,000 years, kalaripayattu masters have carried two bodies of knowledge, how to condition the body through martial training, and how to restore it through traditional healing. At Agasthyam, both are offered under one lineage, guided by Gurukkal Dr. S. Mahesh and trained therapists rooted in Kerala’s Ayurvedic and Siddha traditions.

Kalari Uzhichil - Traditional Herbal Oil Treatment

Kalari Uzhichil is a full-body therapeutic massage using medicated herbal oils prepared according to classical Kerala formulations. Administered by trained kalari therapists, Uzhichil restores circulation, relieves deep muscular tension, improves joint mobility, and prepares the body for deeper training, or simply for living with less pain and greater vitality.

Marma Therapy

Marma points are the body’s 107 vital energy junctions, identified in the Siddha and Ayurvedic tradition. Agasthyam’s marma therapy sessions work these points through precise therapeutic pressure and herbal oil application, addressing chronic pain, stiffness, nerve tension, and energetic blockages that conventional treatment often cannot reach.

Rehabilitation through Kalaripayattu

Agasthyam’s rehabilitation programme combines traditional kalari body conditioning with targeted marma therapy and Uzhichil to support recovery from musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain conditions, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Structured under Gurukkal guidance, each programme is tailored to the individual’s condition and recovery goals.
