Back to Roots, as the name suggests, is a return to the basics of the ancient science of Ayurveda – in philosophy, practice and process and procedures – as described in the ancient texts.
At this full-fledged, premium Ayurvedic Resort in Kerala, we offer the authentic, traditional practices of medical diagnosis, cure, and rejuvenation under the guidance of a trained vaidya (Ayurvedic physician) in a beautiful, serene setting that in itself is relaxing and revitalizing. Our focus is on curing, managing, or controlling the root cause of the disease while providing symptomatic relief.
Back to Roots is one man’s mission and passion – Dr. Shyam’s. A trained Ayurvedic physician hailing from Kerala, he has taken the time-tested, holistic system of healing beyond India’s border. The first Ayurvedic practitioner to be licensed by the UAE’s Ministry of Health in 2002, he has brought relief and cure to thousands of patients over his three-decade-long practice. A recipient of many accolades, including Sheikh Zayed International Award for Traditional Complementary and Alternative Medicine 2022, Distinguished Leaders of Healthcare Award 2018 & Distinguished Physician Award 2017 by the Dubai Health Authority and Health Magazine, Dr. Shyam is a staunch advocate of Suddha Chikitsa – wherein a treatment does not lead to other adverse side effects or health issues – a common grievance with modern medicine.
Dr. Shyam’s philosophy of prioritizing the patients’ well-being above all else is what sets apart Back to Roots Ayurvedic hospital and resort from others.
‘Holistic’ is not merely a catchword at Back to Roots. Dr. Shyam’s deep understanding of Kerala Ayurveda and his decades of practice, had led to him to lay equal emphasis on an often overlooked contributing factor to sickness and ill health – the environment.
That’s why Back to Roots is a journey back in time, to a simpler, calmer, slow-paced life. It offers the luxuries of a rustic life, without eschewing the modern comforts sans its distracting features.
The scenic property, nestled along a river, is a slice of tropical village life at its best – clean air, pure water, refreshing silence and abundant greenery. The hospital and treatment facilities feel anything but hospital-like! Go fishing, cycling or for a stroll, pick vegetables and fruits from the gardens and orchards, help milk the goats, swim in the kulam (pond), learn a craft, do yoga, learn to cook a traditional recipe – do things that feed your soul as the treatments heal your body.
There are no shortcuts to health – while that may be a bitter herbal tea or a pill to swallow, for us, it is a guideline that steers us in all aspects of our treatment protocols.
Hence, guided by ancient medical texts, decades of experience, and documented scientific research, we formulate and manufacture all the medicines, oils, and mixtures for treatment and therapy. The medicinal herbs, plants, and other ingredients for the medicines are either grown on the property or procured from trusted sources.
It is said, ‘you are what you eat.’ That’s why at Back to Roots, we grow most of the vegetables necessary for a wholesome diet that promotes healing and wellness. Our dairy and goat farm provide the milk and milk products used extensively in Ayurvedic medicines and treatments.
Kerala, the land of coconuts, was dubbed God’s own country for its scenic landscapes, verdant greenery, and relaxed pace. It’s no wonder that Ayurveda has flourished here for centuries where nature is calming, and the people are welcoming.
Back to Roots is a space meticulously designed to promote tranquillity and wellbeing; here nature is as much the physician as the vaidya. With its lush greenery, the beautiful river, the serene space, the simple village cuisine and activities that invite one to slow down and rediscover one’s rhythm Back to Roots has rightfully earned a place among the top Ayurvedic resorts in Kerala.

But, if your condition allows, and if it will not hamper the treatments you are undergoing, your vaidya (physician) may permit you to indulge in non-vegetarian cuisine during your stay. In such a case, our cooks will provide with non-vegetarian dishes that the physician has approved of.
