Vaidyakalanidhi V I Varghese Vaidyan's Kayalvarathu Ayurvedic Hospital has completed over a hundred years of meritorious service in the field of Ayurvedic treatment and medicine in Kerala. Vaidyakalanidhi Kayalvarath V I Varghese Vaidyan, the founder of the hospital, inherited the medicine and methods of treatment from his father
Kayalvarathu Kochidichandi Assan, a well known physician of those times. Varghese Vaidyan envisaged a bright future for Ayurveda and dedicated his life for the promotion of natural medicine. He was renowned for treating all kinds of ailments. Upholding the tradition, his son Dr. George Varghese who is well known ayurvedic physician renders great service to the society through this hospital.
 
 
The treatment offered in Kayalvarath hospital has many unique featues. Here we have adopted a secular treatment policy. Even though priority is given to the age old Ayurveda, the hospital also specializes in allopathy, homeopathy and acupuncture. Treatment is decided by joint discussions and evaluation by doctors.In special cases , we even adopt treatment principles of all the three systems of medicne.This has proved to be very effective in many complicated cases. The most striking feature is that all these three departments are manned by doctors from the same family. It is well-nigh impossible to find such a hospital anywhere else.
 
 
 
We have in- house production of ayurvedic medicines exclusively for our own use. Chief Physician, Dr. George Varghese, directly ensures quality control norms at each stage of the preparation of the medicines. That’s our main advantage. If required, according to the patient’s disease we are able to manufacture special medicines here We may not be as big as some, but then, that's what make us better !!
 
 
Kayalvarath hospital has extended its wings to two branches , one at Hospital Jn: Kundara, and the other at Puvanpuzha near Kavanad only 4 Km from Kollam city in NH-47. Tasty wholesome vegetarian food is supplied according to needs of patients. The vegetarian keralian cuisine not only nourishes the body but also brings the right result out of the treatment.
 
Near. Ashtamudi lake
 
  As the hospital is housed at close quarters to the Ashtamudi lake, the serene atmosphere soothes the sickened mind and body and is a catalyst for effective treatment. We are also linked of Ashtamudi lake which attracts patients, even from abroad. Panayam our home village is far away from the maddening crowd with unpolluted healthy air.
The place is easily accessible by rail (very near to Perinad railway station) and by bus, 10 kilometers away from Kollam in the Anchalummood, Kundara bus route
 

The conclusion is it is not a hospital - It is a home away from home.
