Dining at Perumbayil Ayurvedamana is carefully designed to complement Ayurvedic treatments and support overall well-being. The retreat operates a strictly vegetarian kitchen, adhering to Ayurvedic principles and excluding meat, fish, eggs, curd, pickles, ghee, heavy spices, red chillies, and raw fruits or vegetables. Every meal is thoughtfully prepared to restore balance and promote healing.
The kitchen is managed by local women from the community, using organically grown vegetables to bring authenticity and warmth to the dining experience. Guests are welcome to visit the open kitchen, fostering transparency and trust. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served daily, with menus customised to individual treatment plans and dietary requirements.
A distinctive highlight of the dining experience is the use of traditional Kansa Vataki plates and bowls, crafted from a therapeutic blend of copper, zinc, and tin. Copper helps relieve pain and inflammation, zinc strengthens immunity and supports digestion, while tin reduces headaches and insomnia—adding a unique healing dimension to every meal.
Guided by the Ayurvedic philosophy that “we are what we eat”, the diet focuses on strengthening Agni (digestive fire), considered central to health. Meals are prepared with Ayurvedic herbs and spices to enhance digestion, detoxify the body, and optimise nutrient absorption. The cuisine is rich in wholesome ingredients such as rice, pulses, coconut, vegetables, and whole grains, while kept deliberately light on salt to reduce water retention. Coffee, sodas, and alcohol are discouraged, cultivating a pure internal environment that supports the healing process.
At Perumbayil Ayurvedamana, dining is regarded as an integral part of the treatment program, serving not only as nourishment but also as a powerful healing therapy in itself.
Leisure at Perumbayil Ayurvedamana is a perfect blend of wellness, culture, and nature. Nestled amidst serene greenery, the retreat is within close reach of several spiritual, cultural, and natural landmarks, making it an ideal base for exploration alongside Ayurvedic healing.
