Sri Dhanvantari Arogyashram Trust was setup in the year 1961, with the object of providing the Panchakarma- Shodhana(purificatory) along with Shamana(palliative) Chikitsa to relieve people suffering with both acute and chronic ailments. It was the brainchild and the efforts of Ayurveda Vidwan B.V. Pundit and his sons, who were the first set of trustees, to bring a wholistic treatment centre based on Ayurvedic principles to the town of Nanjangud to benefit the needy at truly subsidised rates, almost seven decades ago.
Being set amidst ten acres of serene biodiverse nature, the environment adds to the therapeutic value of the treatments by refreshing the mind. The property is currently home to about 350 medicinal plant species, over and three hundred varied species of insects and over 60 species of Birds (native and migratory).
It has an outpatient section running on all days of the week including Sundays. We treat a variety of chronic ailments like diabetes, blood pressure, arthritis and skin problems, common seasonal ailments like, viral cough, cold, fever, digestive disorders like diarrhoea, dysentery, chronic skin affections, obesity, constipation, loss of appetite, piles haemorrhoids, fistula (including Ayurvedic surgical treatments), we also offer many treatments for gynaecological disorders.
