I am still so grateful for my decision 11 month ago that I went to India to do the Panchakarma treatment and I am beyond grateful that I got in touch with Manuela who picked the most wonderful Ayurvedic hospital for me which was exactly what I was looking for without knowing :).

Still when I think of my 4 weeks stay in Kerala it calms my mind and makes me so happy. Being surrounded by nature, having so much quiettime for myself, the yoga sessions in the morning, the wonderful clean food and the everyday treatments really brought my body, mind and soul back into balance. I am much more mindful with myself, learned how important it really is to connect with natur and to take pauses in my sometimes very hectic daily life. I feel fantastic and know for sure that it was definitely not my last Ayurvedic treatment. I also want to thank Manuela for her constant support, when I had question during the time in India and also afterwards, she would always contact me back, shared her experience with me and had great tips. Thank you so much. I feel very blessed.

Having been looking for an Ayurveda treatment for several months, I did not have the courage to take the plunge.
Discovering Ayur Sattvic's services was the catalyst for me to take the journey confidently. The conversations with Manuela about my need for authentic treatment and support at the clinic was a great start!
I spent a month at the clinic being treated for type 1 diabetes, for which I had been diagnosed 20 years ago.
The doctor works entirely according to the traditional approach of Ayurveda. Along with his team, each and every day they work to meet the needs of the patients and adjust the treatments.
The services of Ayur Sattvic facilitated my arrival and the practical organization of my trip (VISA, organization of arrival, answering many questions and concerns related to departure). Manuela is extremely available and helpful. On site, her commitment and creativity are a great asset and complete the therapy. Due to the explanations of the treatments, the emotional support, the relationship with the doctor, the organization of ceremonies... one can immerse oneself much more deeply in the Aurvedic cure and experience its essence.
That journey continues (or is it just beginning?!) once we return. Whenever I need support, the doctor and Manuela are there to help me. That is very precious in this important phase of adaptation. Personally, I have greatly reduced my insulin doses and my needs continue to decrease, despite the temptations of daily life!
For me, it opens the door to a mindful listening to the body and its needs to start a healing process. You learn about the body's miraculous ability to heal itself when it is living in favorable conditions that nourish life.

My cure in INDIA - a new life
Having been diagnosed with blood cancer in Germany, and faced with the advice of doctors who thought that chemotherapy was the only solution, which I didn't want, I set out to find alternative healing methods. This is how I came across Manuela, a specialized guide for people wishing to enter the unknown world of ayurveda. Already, I was impressed by the way my request was handled. Rather than immediately promising a healing, I was asked to forward the necessary documents for study. Within a few days, I was told that I could come. So, at the beginning of 2023, I left for India to attend the clinic.
Upon my arrival, Manuela from Ayur Sattvic welcomed me and I embarked on an exciting six-week journey. And Manuela was with me every step of the process. She knew exactly when I needed support and when it was best to be alone with myself. This was surprising for me and did me a world of good. Staying at the clinic introduced me to a whole new way of treating. Every day, therapies were discussed and specifically adjusted for me. Up until then, I had never experienced anything like this. Even on weekends, the doctors came to visit me. This holistic treatment also included counselling. So many things became clear to me during this time. Once I got home, I completely transformed my life.
Manuela's work is excellent, and her thoughtful impulses always came at just the right moment. Communication went smoothly for me, thanks to her presence during the consultations.
Overall, it was a complete success for me. I'm so glad to have taken this step. Back in Germany, my doctors couldn't believe that my blood tests had returned to normal and that my liver thrombosis had disappeared after the treatment in India. And this is still the case today, a year and a half after the treatment.
THANK YOU, dear Manuela, thank you to the doctors, thank you to the rest of the clinic staff.

Having completed my second course of treatment, from late November 2023 to mid-January 2024, I would like to give you an insight on my state of health.
Both of my hand joints are affected by osteophytes (degenerative osteoarthritis).
The cure went very well, with a real improvement in my joints, better mobility and a disappearance of the pain. The two-month treatment (massages, rest, yoga sessions, meditation...) is truly beneficial for my body and mind. Getting enough rest is important.
After returning to France on February 28, I went back to work on March first. As I'm a decorative painter, my hands are very important. Even with sustained manual activity, I feel very healthy. A few minor aches and pains have appeared, but that's normal. I rest regularly and all is going well.
The small swellings subsided almost immediately, and my physical and mental state is outstanding. Both my body and mind are responding to the treatment wonderfully.
Thanks to all those who have been involved in my care.

- 5 months after the cure
Originally, in November 2022, I just wanted to see what such a treatment could do for two to three weeks. As I already had to endure several operations in the past due to too much sport and also accidents. The doctors in Germany reached their limits and recommended only pain killers in the end. Permanently taking painkillers was not an option for me!
I was fortunate to know Manuela. Through many conversations in advance she raised my curiosity and gave the necessary confidence to get involved in Ayurvedic treatments.
I planned to try it out for two to three weeks and then spend some time exploring India and Nepal. Therefore I took a professional sabbatical.
Through the trusting conversations with the doctors and Manuela, the three weeks turned into three months. Indeed, I am very glad and happy that I took this step and also that time.
However, I am fully aware that not everyone can take such a long time. Nevertheless, for me it was the right decision.
The list of my surgeries is long, very long. And my body suffered from the same condition. However, I would just like to give two examples of results I have had.
I had a total of six knee operations (left knee and right knee three each). Permanently headaches for many years due to severe accidents.
The treatments completely - really completely - eliminated my knee problems (swollen knees, knee pain...). The same successes I experienced and still experience with my head. For months I have had no headaches at all.
After the three months I traveled through India and Nepal. In Nepal I even went up to the Thorong La Pass (5416m). Without this special Ayurveda treatment that would not have been possible.
Meanwhile I am back in Germany since 5 years and continue to feel very well.
I am so grateful to Ayur Sattvic, the therapists, all the staff and of course the doctors. I am glad to have put my confidence in these wonderful people.
Thank you very much!

I sincerely thank Manuela for the precious time she took to answer my questions, also for her attentive listening and empathy. Moreover, through her experience, she was able to assess in advance and recommend the best thing to me, a three-week course of treatment. I had originally settled on a two-week cure.

Once I was there, it became clear that a minimum stay of 3 weeks was very important.
The Ayurveda clinic was exactly what I was looking for. The experience of finding myself was wonderful. Being in contact with Manuela prior to the cure was a good preparation for the unfamiliar things I was going to encounter there. Through this I was able to accept the stay well from the beginning in order to let it unfold and work on me.
For anyone who wants to do a Panchakarma in an authentic way, I highly recommend Manuela. Here are doctors who belong to a long tradition and have a holistic view of Ayurveda, from the cultivation of the plant, its preparation to the prescription in the clinic. In this way, the plants have a healing potential that stands out for its quality.
Many thanks.

after 5 months post-treatment
Namaste,
Five months ago I returned to France. After two months of Ayurvedic treatment, my return was not easy. I live in Roubaix, northern France, where the temperatures in March are cold and humid. Entirely the opposite to the climate in January and February in Kerala, India.

Nevertheless, acclimatization went quite smoothly. Resuming work just two days after my return helped. I am a freelance stage manager as well as a decorative painter, therefore it is important to have hands ready to tackle. To my great surprise, my hands didn't hurt, there was no swelling or particular signs of fatigue. I was relieved and smiled. However, it was only a matter of resuming work, a month at most. How would that work out in the long run? "To be or not to be," as the good William would say. By two months after the cure, work became intense. At all times my hands remained in great shape, even with hard work! Having used up the post-cure medication after three months, a healthy lifestyle of healthy eating and resting continued. Every day, I repeat to myself questions that Dr. Devan asked me at each daily visit. Did you sleep well? How do you feel in your body and thoughts? Are you happy? The answers have helped me to improve my daily life.

Ayurveda treatment has helped wonderfully in my condition, Osteophytes on my hands. However, it is also a path to follow the doctor's instructions and take the disease seriously.

Seven years ago, after a classical medical treatment in France for a rare cancer, I "met" India and Ayurvedic medicine thanks to Manuela who assisted me in all my steps.

A bridge built between two continents, two cultures, that I use now every two years with joy and gratitude to find balance, confidence and complete rejuvenation on both the physical and psychological levels. Manuela knows the most suitable clinic for everyone, "real" clinics, authentic places, bubbles in a corner of the world, small protective paradises where the doctors and therapists embrace us with their loving care.
Thank you to them, thank you Manu

Today, almost 2 months after the end of the treatment, I notice mainly a vigorous energy capacity. I feel power and solidity, like a full tank that gives me confidence.

I should do another blood test of my thyroid to see how it is doing but I haven't had the opportunity yet. The fact that the nodules deflated during the course of treatment, shows me how much possible a healing is, this also reinforces my confidence. I feel that for this hormonal imbalance a second experience would be favorable.

I cannot speak for my son and my spouse who also experienced the therapy but I see in them the same energy potential.

Beyond the physiological results, the stay offered us new rituals and at the same time a new way of being in presence or in the world. Our family recites mantras in the evening and lights an oil lamp in the morning. My husband practices yoga every morning and we are nourished by massaging our bodies with oils brought from India.

Already we are planning to go again to India again next winter.

About the experience itself: overall we have a very good feeling about these 22 days spent at the hospital. We can see how quickly the empty and boring moments are forgotten, leaving room for the good memories and advantages. The quality of the infrastructure, the warm welcome given by the staff, the humor and the philosophy of the doctor and Manuela's presence have a great impact on this. Moreover, we plan to repeat the experience.

Deliberately we didn't want to know much about Ayurveda before our visit. And I think that allowed us to live the experience without any preconceptions. Now we have a greater desire to understand more and our readings enrich the experience.

We were also happy to have taken 15 days of vacation in India before the cure and 15 days of rest in India afterwards. It was easier for us to maintain our dietary, physical and spiritual efforts while staying in India and not to compromise the previous work.

This ain’t no beauty treatment, not for the faint hearted! Look no further if you’re after authentic Ayurveda and want to heal.
Knowledgeable doctors, committed and skilled therapists, super friendly staff, a cornucopia of medicine — the real deal. I had a transformative ayurvedic treatment!
Namaste

In 2014, I met Manuela on the internet. I was looking for information about a movie dealing with Ayurvedic healing. I'm not much of a traveler, I don't speak English well and I barely understand the Indian accent. So it took me two years before I decided to come to India. Everything was a problem for me, from the language to the climate, the poverty, the spices and the clichés. It was at the end of 2017 that, without giving it much thought, I got myself a passport and a visa, called Manuela to make an appointment and set off. Many new experiences awaited me. Manuela is a wonderful support before, during and after the cure. I came after a serious illness. The first consultation with the doctor: "You are Pita, Ascendant, Kapha...". I understood nothing, although it seemed to me it wasn't bad. Even less worse as he arrives barefoot, in a blouse and with colorful "" spots of paint on his forehead ... (here a short explanation)
Apart from the technique of an Ayurvedic Panchakarma cure, which I left to the doctor, I met men and women who took great care of me, smiles, wagging heads ..., a quality of being listened to, a heart-to-heart contact. A cure is time for yourself, a timeless space dedicated to taking care of your life. I have gained confidence in myself, in my ability to let go ... to live more and more in the moment ... A great adventure, and it's just the beginning ...

From a physical point of view, the improvements obtained in the treatment are still continuing after 1.5 months.
My morning headaches are gone and my general condition is better. Furthermore, the respiratory problems and the intestinal problems (diverticulitis) have disappeared. My benign tumor (neurinoma in the cervical vertebra) needs to be re-evaluated by MRI and CT in a few months. At the moment, however, there are no problems with it, I have neither pain nor balance problems.
From a psychological point of view, the treatment has helped me to think deeply about psychological knots, they have undoubtedly come into a flow. I have also found a great inner peace. We could say that something has been loosened internally, certainly on a different level of consciousness. Everything still needs to be explored in more depth, it is only the beginning of a long process that will extend to at least two more courses of treatment.
