About clinic

The famous Ayurvedic center of India, Dr. Franklin's clinic, is located in the state of Kerala. The creator of the center, after which it was named, devoted his whole life to studying the healing practices of Ayurveda, helping to cope with diseases using methods that are already more than 5,000 years old.

In the clinic, yoga and meditation are widely practiced, as well as the cleansing of the body with the help of special oils and herbal extracts using the method of 5 steps of cleansing in panchakamera.

The technique is suitable both for general health improvement and for the treatment of diseases of the widest range.

The clinic was founded in 1997, when Dr Franklin founded a research center, which developed and manufactured Ayurvedic medical products.

Clinic: Dr. Franklin Panchakarma Ayurveda clinic

Diagnosis: spa treatment

My trip was wonderful, I’ve probably never had one like it. Whether I was so morally open that I went with the flow, there were no hitches anywhere.
The check-in was just amazing. We were greeted very warmly and kindly.

Mainly in Dr. Franklin Panchakarma rested Russians.
At the Franklin Clinic, everything is very simple, no frills. Perfectly normal accommodation, the first floor was very good in that it did not heat up.
We looked at the new building (across the road), we did not like it. The old building is somehow better – more soulful. But there we went to the pool.

It is a pity, of course, that there is no direct access to the sea. It’s a 10 minute walk to it. The beach is very dirty, just crap, and the sea was dirty. That is, all these moments, yes, they were, but … I tried to be above all this.

The clinic staff sometimes unpleasantly surprised me with their forgetfulness. In the process, they remembered something, but they could also forget to bring a suitcase, put wet wipes, and so on.
The waiters are, of course, cool. Took the order and left, may not come. Maybe he will return and bring the order, maybe he will not return, who has what kind of karma. Or no one at all for half an hour, and then another may come and take the same order.

I liked the Ayurvedic food. Of course, it is specific. The portions are small, but I think they are enough. True, some began to howl and go to Kovalam, but I was fine.
The procedures were done once a day. And of course yoga in the morning, with many varieties, but not very good, because there was a yoga master who taught individual classes for many years, and gave the group classes to another teacher and he somehow cheated. We went to yoga a couple of times – we didn’t like it.

There were complaints about this yoga master. But now the guys write that yoga has become better, apparently the complaints have worked.

Dr. Sony Joseph (aka Dr. Franklin’s son-in-law) is a good doctor, only he takes the first and last consultation, and that’s it. For absolutely all other issues, there are 2 doctors on duty, working in turn, for three days.

All attendants speak quite broken English and generally know 5 words each, i.e. people get a little lost because of this. But there is always one of the translators – Sunil.

The treatment, of course, was … but it did not give the full effect, because somehow it turned out to be not enough for me, although in general the treatment process is good. When the process started, I really liked everything. She returned to life and the stress was gone. After all, I specifically went to shoot it in recent years.

Diagnosis: spa treatment

Last year I visited the Franklin Clinic. No one there treats anything. One treatment scheme is for everyone. I brought my medical records, they didn’t even look at them, and then they couldn’t even find them. The food is the same for everyone – a general menu, who wants, then orders. In general, just a pleasant spa holiday. And no more.

Clinic: Dr. Franklin Panchakarma Ayurveda clinic

Diagnosis: sanatorium treatment

We came to Dr. Franklin’s clinic for the second time. Compared to the previous visit in December 2012, the hotel area has become larger and more beautiful – many trees, exotic plants. But there were many guests. There were several types of rooms in the center. We chose a small villa in the new area and it was good. The treatment was as effective as before. And Chowara is a great place – good people, ocean, Kovalam beach and Trivandrum very close, daily morning yoga, delicious healthy food. So we had a good rest and recovered!

Clinic: Dr. Franklin Panchakarma Ayurveda clinic

Diagnosis: sanatorium treatment

Excellent clinic for a cleansing course.
There are a small territory, modest accommodation, buildings in different territories. The new building is located across the road from the clinical building and the main hotel area. The new territory has a swimming pool and air-conditioned rooms.
The old territory is small, but neatly decorated with flower beds and lawns.
The hotel (clinic) has a laboratory and all those who arrive are given a blood test before prescribing treatment.
Meals are vegetarian, tasty, strictly according to the dose prescribed by the doctor.
The procedures last 2.5 -3 hours and are divided into morning and evening.
All vacationers practice yoga.
It is desirable to undergo a course of treatment (cleansing) for at least 14 days, but 21 day is better.
In conclusion, this is not a holiday hotel, but a full-fledged clinic.
The mood should be for getting results.
