Rooted in the 5,000-year wisdom of Ayurveda and the ancient Dravidian science of Siddha medicine, Dhanaviruksham offers a path to lasting wellness — not through suppression, but through restoration.
"The physician, the patient, the medicine and the attendant — these four are the pillars of healing."
— Charaka Samhita, ~600 BCE
At Dhanaviruksham, we practice an integrated approach that draws from both Ayurveda — the science of life — and Siddha — the ancient Tamil healing tradition. Together, these systems address not just symptoms, but the root causes of imbalance in your mind, body, and spirit.
We believe in listening before prescribing. In understanding your unique constitution before recommending a path. In working with your body's own intelligence, not against it.
Every individual has a unique mind-body type. Treatment begins with understanding yours deeply.
We seek the origin of imbalance, not merely the expression of it. True healing addresses cause, not symptom.
Food is medicine. Nutrition is woven into every treatment plan as a foundation of lasting health.
A comprehensive assessment of your Prakriti and Vikriti — your natural constitution and current state of balance — forming the basis of all treatment.
The classical five-action detoxification process that clears accumulated toxins from tissues and channels, restoring the body's natural rhythms.
Carefully formulated plant-based medicines drawing from classical Ayurvedic and Siddha pharmacology, prescribed to your specific condition.
Personalised dietary guidance rooted in the Ayurvedic understanding of food as medicine — seasonal, constitutional, and deeply practical.
Dr. Thamarai Selvi has dedicated her practice to the living traditions of Ayurveda and Siddha medicine — two of the world's oldest documented healing systems. Based in Chennai, she brings deep classical training together with a modern, evidence-informed approach to patient care.
Her practice is built on the belief that the body always seeks balance. Her role — and the role of every treatment at Dhanaviruksham — is simply to support that return.
All consultations begin with a thorough assessment of your health history, current concerns, and constitution. This allows Dr. Thamarai Selvi to design a treatment path that is completely personal to you.
