Our Healing Modalities

Ancient medicine,
thoughtfully
practised

Every treatment at Dhanaviruksham is drawn from classical Ayurvedic and Siddha tradition — and customised entirely to your constitution, your condition, and your life.

"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food — but first, know thyself." — Adapted from Charaka Samhita
No two bodies are the same. No two conditions arise from the same root. This is why every treatment at Dhanaviruksham begins not with a prescription, but with deep listening — understanding your Prakriti (natural constitution), your Vikriti (current imbalance), and the story your body has been telling you.

From that foundation, Dr. Thamarai Selvi designs a personalised path — drawing from four classical healing modalities, alone or in combination.
01
Ayurvedic Consultation

Understanding your
unique constitution

The Ayurvedic consultation is the cornerstone of everything at Dhanaviruksham. Before any treatment, before any remedy — Dr. Thamarai takes time to truly understand you. Your Prakriti (your natural, lifelong constitution) and your Vikriti (your present state of imbalance) are assessed through pulse diagnosis, detailed health history, and careful observation.

This session is not a brief intake form. It is an unhurried, attentive conversation between physician and patient — the kind that western medicine rarely has time for.

  • Comprehensive Prakriti-Vikriti assessment through pulse and observation
  • Full review of current symptoms, history, and lifestyle
  • Identification of root cause, not just surface symptoms
  • Personalised treatment plan across all relevant modalities
  • Available in Tamil and English

प्रकृति
The Ayurvedic View
"Every individual is a unique combination of the five elements — space, air, fire, water, earth — expressed as the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Healing begins when we understand which of these is out of balance, and why."
02
Panchakarma

The classical
detoxification

Panchakarma — literally "five actions" — is Ayurveda's most powerful purification protocol. Over a carefully structured programme, accumulated toxins (ama) are loosened from deep tissues, directed to the digestive tract, and removed from the body entirely.

The result is not just physical cleansing. Patients consistently report improved sleep, mental clarity, reduced chronic pain, and a profound sense of renewal. It is, in the truest sense, a reset.

  • Removes accumulated toxins from tissues and channels
  • Restores digestive fire (Agni) and metabolic balance
  • Addresses chronic conditions at their root
  • Deeply restorative for the nervous system
  • Customised programme duration and intensity

पञ्चकर्म
The Five Actions
"Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, Raktamokshana — five classical procedures that systematically remove what does not belong. Not a detox diet. A complete physiological restoration."
03
Herbal Remedies

Plant intelligence,
precisely prescribed

Ayurveda and Siddha medicine share one of the world's most sophisticated pharmacopoeias — thousands of plant medicines documented over millennia, tested across generations. Dr. Thamarai draws from both traditions to prescribe formulations that are specific to your constitution and condition — never generic, never off-the-shelf.

Classical preparations such as kashayam (decoctions), choornam (powders), lehyam (herbal electuaries), and tailam (medicated oils) are prepared or sourced from trusted classical pharmacies.

  • Classical Ayurvedic and Siddha pharmacology
  • Prescribed to your specific Prakriti and condition
  • Sourced from trusted classical preparation facilities
  • Detailed guidance on dosage, timing, and diet
  • Regular follow-up to adjust as your condition evolves

The Siddha Tradition
"Siddha medicine, born in the Tamil lands over 10,000 years ago, views the body as a microcosm of the universe. Its herbal science is among the most refined in the ancient world — and it is still alive, still practised."
04
Diet & Nutrition

Food as the
first medicine

In both Ayurveda and Siddha medicine, food is not separate from treatment — it is treatment. What you eat, when you eat, how you prepare it, and even your mental state while eating — all of this profoundly shapes your health.

Dr. Thamarai's dietary guidance is not a list of restrictions. It is a way of understanding your body's relationship with food — constitutional, seasonal, and deeply personal. Many patients find that dietary shifts alone transform conditions they had accepted as permanent.

  • Constitutional dietary recommendations based on your Prakriti
  • Seasonal eating guidance aligned with classical texts
  • Recipes and preparation methods suited to your constitution
  • Practical integration into daily life — no extremism
  • Guidance for the whole family, not just the individual
