Nervous system reset
Recovery
Burnout is a measurable physiological state — not tiredness. NABH-accredited recovery combining Ayurveda, Unani nervous system support, and functional medicine diagnostics. We test, treat, and restore — from cortisol mapping to Panchakarma and nervous system repair.
Doctor-supervised recovery. Kerala.
yourself here
Burnout presents differently in every person — but the physiological markers are consistent. If six or more of the following apply, your nervous system is asking for more than rest. This is not a character weakness. It is a physiological state that requires clinical intervention — not willpower.
You wake exhausted regardless of how long you slept. Sleep is broken, unrefreshing, or you cannot switch off at night. You rely on caffeine, alcohol, or screens to manage energy and mood.
You feel emotionally detached from work, relationships, or life. Concentration has become genuinely difficult. You feel cynical or resentful about work that once motivated you, or a persistent sense of meaninglessness — going through the motions.
Headaches, jaw tension, chest tightness, gut problems with no clear cause. Small things trigger disproportionate emotional responses. Physical tension that does not release — shoulders, neck, jaw, or lower back. Social withdrawal. A feeling that you are running out of capacity.
For executives, entrepreneurs, and high-performing professionals, burnout is often framed as a badge of commitment. The programme is not about stepping back from ambition. It is about restoring the biological foundation from which sustainable high performance is possible. Group executive wellness programmes are available for teams of 4–12.
better than a holiday
A holiday removes you from the stressor. It does not repair the cortisol dysregulation, depleted neurotransmitters, inflamed nervous system, or disturbed sleep architecture. Those do not reset in two weeks on a beach. HPA axis restoration, cortisol normalisation, and sleep architecture repair require consistent, targeted intervention over a minimum of 7–14 days.
What drives exhaustion in one person (adrenal insufficiency) may differ in another (thyroid dysfunction, nutritional depletion, or gut-driven neuroinflammation). Cortisol rhythm (morning, midday, evening, night), DHEA-S, full thyroid including reverse T3, sex hormones, inflammatory markers, vitamin D, B12, magnesium, zinc, and gut health screening form the clinical foundation of the programme.
Nervous system reset — Shirodhara, Abhyanga, Pranayama, and adaptogens move the system out of chronic sympathetic activation. Hormonal rebalancing — cortisol, thyroid, sex hormones, and adrenal insufficiency addressed through Ayurvedic adaptogens, Unani formulations, and nutrition. Mental clarity — Nasya, Brahmi, Shankhapushpi, yoga nidra, meditation, and guided coaching restore what burnout has taken.
Most guests notice the first meaningful shift in sleep between Days 3–5. Cognitive clarity typically improves from Days 7–10. Cortisol normalisation, sustained energy, and emotional stability become apparent in the weeks after. The 90-day home protocol — herbs, diet, sleep hygiene, Pranayama, and lifestyle boundaries — is designed to sustain those gains. Telehealth follow-up is scheduled at 30 and 90 days. We strongly advise against remote work for the first 7–10 days.
twenty-one days
01
Every burnout programme begins with a thorough functional assessment — because burnout looks different in every person. Prakriti assessment, personalised herbal prescription, and a doctor-supervised plan. All programmes are fully residential and include consultations, treatments, lab testing, therapeutic meals, private accommodation, and discharge documentation.
02
7-day Reset: one primary Panchakarma procedure, daily Shirodhara and Abhyanga, therapeutic yoga and Pranayama, sleep restoration, nature therapy, 30-day home protocol. 14-day Recovery adds a full hormonal and gut panel, Virechana plus Basti series, 3 IV nutritional sessions, Nasya, Pizhichil and Kizhi, mid-programme cortisol reassessment, and a 60-day home protocol. 21-day Transformation adds complete 3-phase Panchakarma, 5 IV sessions including NAD+ and Glutathione, mitochondrial support, full sleep architecture restoration, and Day 21 vs Day 1 labs.
03
Lifestyle medicine coaching — boundaries, workload design, stress physiology. Nature therapy in the Western Ghats is scheduled as treatment, not leisure. Discharge includes herbal kit, supplement plan, and scheduled telehealth. For German guests, the stay shares the philosophy of a medically supervised Kur, with full medical documentation. Limited programme availability each month.
includes
The clinical framework behind recovery — prescribed from what we find, not a generic retreat timetable.
A continuous stream of warm medicated oil over the forehead induces profound parasympathetic activation. One of the most clinically documented Ayurvedic therapies for HPA axis restoration, anxiety reduction, and sleep architecture. Most guests describe it as the most deeply calming experience of their lives.
Daily full-body massage with constitution-specific oils — Vata-pacifying for depletion and anxiety, Pitta-reducing for high-performing burnout. Panchakarma clears the metabolic toxins that accumulate during chronic stress through Virechana and Basti, so restorative therapies can land.
Therapeutic yoga prescribed by constitution and burnout type — not general classes. Nadi Shodhana, Bhramari, 4-7-8, and Kapalabhati in a graduated daily programme. Sleep hygiene, circadian recalibration, Abhyanga before bed, herbal formulations, and yoga nidra.
Ashwagandha at therapeutic clinical dosages for cortisol normalisation and adrenal restoration. Brahmi for cognitive restoration. Shankhapushpi for sleep and anxiety. Jatamansi for nervous system nourishment.
not a sales call
The programme addresses burnout — which frequently presents with depressive and anxiety symptoms. Guests with a current psychiatric diagnosis are welcome; the stay is supportive rather than primary psychiatric treatment. All current medications are reviewed on Day 1; no changes without explicit clinical guidance. First step: a free 20-minute consultation with our doctor — health history, burnout presentation, and programme recommendations. WhatsApp +91 91070 40040. Limited places each month.
