Ayurvedic eye treatment
Matha was the first ayurvedic eye hospital to offer a specialty in ayurvedic eye treatment (nethra chikitsa).
Our medical team plan and execute your exceptional ayurvedic healing
Your healing journey starts with a detailed analysis of the root cause of your ailment. For this, our doctors follow a precise protocol on a scientific ayurvedic basis. Qualified Senior doctors with outstanding clinical exposure then plan your treatments. Trained and certified therapists execute them under the guidance of our medical team. All this complemented by a vegetarian homely Ayurveda diet. And you get to experience the best natural healing.
Matha started its operations as a small family-run Ayurveda eye hospital. Over the years, it developed into one of its kind super-speciality eye hospitals. Panchakarma and Yoga Departments were started later. Today Matha is placed among the best referral ayurvedic hospitals in Kerala and India.
“At Matha, our philosophy centers on the belief that many forms of blindness can be avoided with timely and precise treatment.

Panchakarma is the natural Ayurvedic way to purify your body. It cleanses your body from a cellular level. Matha is the best Ayurveda center for integrating your Eye Treatments with Panchakarma in Kerala and India. We incorporate a holistic approach to your panchakarma therapies. This is achieved by considering the trinity of your body, mind, and soul. And this is our secret to true Ayurvedic healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What all should I pack before travelling to Matha for my treatment?
Trivandrum has a very humid weather. Hence light and comfortable cotton clothes are your best choice. We do not allow footwear's worn outside to be used indoors. Hence, indoor slippers (or flip flops) are also necessary. Personal use items such as bath towel, soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush, shaving sets, etc. are also among the items to be packed. As rains are very common, an umbrella would come in handy. If you are in the habit of drinking hot water, a flask would be needed.
In our deluxe rooms, bath towels, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, slippers are provided and need not be packed.
What if I forget to pack something?
We are there for your help. Please inform our reception team members, and they would be happy to solve your problems.

Doctors decide your diet based on your clinical needs, your treatments and medicines. However, on a general note, your day starts with tea/coffee/herbal drink. Then you have the breakfast at 9.00 am.

Trivandrum is the southernmost district of the state of Kerala. The weather remains more or less the same during summer and winter season. The temperatures vary between around 35 to 22 degree Celsius in summer, and between 20 to 32 degree Celsius in winter. We normally have very heavy rainfall during the months of June to august.

For panchakarma treatments, trips are allowed only after the intensive cleansing procedures.
We strongly discourage sightseeing during intensive treatments. Any such trips will be decided only after discussion with the doctors.

If sightseeing is a serious agenda for you, then our advice is to finish it off before arriving for treatment. Do not stress yourself immediately after completing the treatments.

Trivandrum is blessed with a tropical weather. The abundance of flora and fauna, definitely attracts pests and mosquitoes.
