Guruprakash Ayurvedic
Centre
was founded by Guru, Guruprakash (Ebraham Vaidyan)
in 1899 at Kovalam, an internationally famed tourist
destination in Kerala, India. His followers were
Joseph Vaidyan, Daniel Vaidyan, Hendry Vaidyan and
Stuvert Vaidyan. Daniel Vaidyan was a friend and
co-worker of Sree Narayana Guru, a great social
reformer of Kerala. They both held consultation with
people and gave them treatment at a place in
Kunnumpuram, near Kovalam. At present, the fifth
generation member, Shri D. H. Stuvert Vaidyan, who
is the Managing Director of the Centre, oversees the
functioning of the hospital. Dr. Pushpa Stuvert and
Dr. Raja Ratnam are the Chief consulting doctors,
here.

Panchakarma treatment,
Natural treatment, Massage and Yogasanam are the
areas we have specialized in. Well Equipped Medical
Laboratory, and a registered Ayurvedic Medicine
manufacturing unit under the name Gurupraksh
Ayurvedic Pharmaceuticals (Kovalam) are annexed to
the centre. The herbs grown here are also used for
preparing various medicines in the manufacturing
unit. To carry out the Panchakarma treatments, Enna
Thoni made of woods of trees such as Kanjiram
and Veppu are used. (Enna Thoni is a
wooden tub on which the patient is made to lie down,
while undergoing the treatment). At present we have
five Enna Thonies and five patients can be
treated at a time.
The interiors of the
centre are very cool as most part of the
roofing is thatched with coconut palm leaves.
The floor is tiled and the toilets are
well-furnished giving an overall hygienic
appearance. The walls are paneled with bamboo pieces
and mats. This gives an attractive look and
generates a natural, eco-friendly feeling.
The centre treats the patients with Government
approved Ayurvedic medicines conforming to GMP
(Good Manufacturing Practices) standards. Some
medicines prepared here are also used in some cases,
which have worked wonders among the patients. The
preparation of some of these medicines is kept a
family secret, which is handed over to generation
next as a custom.
We have here two doctors and a team of trained male
and female masseurs or Panchakarma Assistants, who
carry out the treatment. Our doctor's panel include
Dr. Pushpa Stuvert, (B.A., B.A.M., M.I.I.N.T) and
Dr. Raja Ratnam, (B.A.M, M.D, Retired professor of
Govt. Panchakarma Hospital, Poojapura).
Tourists, heading
towards Guruprakash Ayurvedic Centre from both
inside and outside India, are given boarding
facilities too, while they undergo a particular
treatment. The centre also gets a considerable
amount of bookings for consultation from tourists
who come to stay in nearby hotels. Before the
treatment begins, the patient is briefed about the
method of treatment, medicines used, its action and
reaction in the body.
