S.D.M.Yoga & Nature Cure Hospital, Pareeka - Alternative medicine practitioner in Udupi - Udupi, India

One of the best experience I had in my life time, learnt yoga, reduced weight , eat proper food, learnt good things what else do you need.

A Guide for Women Staying at Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatha Nature Cure Hospital Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatha Nature Cure Hospital at Pareeka, Udupi, is a naturopathy wellness centre where you can go either for cures to existing diseases/disorders such as PCOD, thyroid, hypertension, migraine, spinal problems, aches and pains, etc. or for general de-stressing and detoxing. You can stay for 7 to 21 days (or maybe even more if your finances and time allows you) and enjoy water treatments, massage therapy, reflexology, acupuncture, yoga, and many other therapies that are great for your holistic wellness. I stayed just for 7 days for detox and de-stress, and had a good experience. I took advantage of the following therapies: 1) Full Body Massage (oil) 2) Salt Glow Massage (oil and salt) 3) Steam baths and sauna baths 4) Deluxe Hydro Massage 5) Cold Underwater Massage 6) Neutral Immersion Bath 7) Jacuzzi Hydro Massage 8) Ganji-turmeric bath 9) Full-body Mud Bath There are many more, and they will be prescribed by the doctor as per your health condition. I lost 2.5kg, learnt to subsist on minimal (and salt-less) food, and improved general flexibility and stamina with all the therapies. However, when you book your stay at SDM Pareeka, they do not give you any instructions on what to bring and what to look forward to. This is a huge drawback for people who go there for the first time. So here are some suggestions for the women who want to spend some time at the centre. a) Carry at least 2 towels and lots of one-piece attires such as nighties and loose and airy dresses. Oil massages and water therapies require you to wipe yourself and get undressed and dressed again and again, and these pieces of clothing are very practical. b) Avoid carrying white towels as oils, mud, turmeric and other things will leave stains on the towels over time. c) Carry your own yoga mat and a few small towels to wipe the sweat off. d) Carry a few pairs of pants and tops to do Yoga in. You can't do them yogasanas in nighties! e) Carry a bar of bathing soap, shampoo and conditioner, a washing soap/detergent, and a cloth-washing brush. You will need to wash your own clothes and take bath at least twice every day. f) If you intend to take walks around the premises, don't forget your walking/running shoes. g) Wear cotton clothes (instead of rayon, nylon, chiffon, etc.). The region is quite humid throughout the year.

Awesome place to relax for a good 10 days with so much pampering and beautiful surroundings. We stayed in cottage and the prices were reasonable. The people are so friendly and helpful. Treatments were so relaxing and rejuvenating. Our doctor Shobhith Shetty was awesome. He explained to us about the diet plans and changed the diet as per our health requirements. He gave a diet chart as well with good Health tips during discharge so we can maintain the lost weight. The yoga classes taken by Dr. Shobhith was the best of all yoga classes. Mostly the morning and evening classes. Never miss his class . Even my daughter (10 years) who joined us loved his yoga classes. Other yoga classes are also good. Especially the morning class at 6-7 am by a yoga intern. All the people working there may be the front desk, treatment section ( Vijaylakshmi, Chandrika, Sangeeta, Shashikala), cleaners (Kumuda, Harini) food delivery/cook, every one were very helpful and made our stay a memorable one. Sorry to not mention the guys names who helped my husband with the treatment, as I never asked them. But they were very kind and friendly as well. Will surely visit next year if time permits. Oh how can I forget the Bhajan at 5.15 pm every weekday? That's one thing which we never missed. So much fun to sing the bhajans with the whole Pareeka team. And then some health tips from the doctors from 5.30-6.00 pm. The Saturday temple visit and Sunday half day!! Sometimes yakshagana team may visit. Finally can say, Best place for a good 10 days vacation.I think the best decision we made coming here. Overall it was a fun stay!! Thanks everyone at SDM parkala!! ---------------------------------------------------- Tips to follow at any cost 1) Take enough towels and underwears (Minimum 10 if you plan to wash them) You need minimum 4 towel and underwear per day. 2) Don't miss the morning 5.30-7/6-7 am and evening 4.30-5/6-6.30 pm yoga classes. Other yoga we didn't require so didn't try. 3) Don't miss 3pm reflexology track 4) Don't forget to drink minimum 2 liters water per day. 5) Walk minimum 2 km on the waking track outside every day. You will love to see the nature around with birds ( peacocks) on the fruit tree in the compound. Thanks

Every one should come here once to experience the best of yoga and naturopathy. Dedicated staff and Junior doctors esp for yoga beginners. My best wishes to Dr Ajith , Dr Abhishek, Dr Raashi . Thank you for the great yoga classes

I am extremely delighted to be here for 10 days. Dr Anjali is great, very patiently listens and suggest most suitable diet and treatments. 10 days just fly away with packed schedule from 530 to 830.i am planning to come once in 6 months. The environment, The staff, The food, The cleanliness, The modern facilities and treatments of yoga therapy, reflexology, acupuncture, physio, body massages, facial, head packs, mud pack, turmeric pack everything is wonderful at very economical rates. Among the three centres I would recommend pareeka

This is such an awesome place.I had visited it for 10 days .Any ladies reading this ,be sure you don't have your periods when you are visiting or you will miss out on some treatments. This is a hospital ,so be mindful that there is no luxury. First day was quite a merry go round for me ,just getting to know the treatment room locations and figuring out the treatment and diet card. There is no orientation given.You just have to ask the supervisor monitoring treatments who sits in between Block A and B. Be sure to be there on time. Get to know the building very well before starting your day.It can be a bit stressful for the first 2 days but later it felt like a lifestyle. The staff are just amazing and so so sweet ,polite and courteous. They have lectures on health regularly. A set of dining utensils are provided . There is also a utility shop "SIRI" at the -1 level (Dining Area) Treatment blocks A- I are all on one side Floors are -1 ( Siri shop / dining hall / Lab / physiotherapy) Floor 0 ( Block A and B ,Kshema Hall ,Reception and main entrance ) Floor 1 Deluxe A/C rooms and Block K for men's treatment Floor 2 Cottages and Block J The schedule is very tight and so strict .If you follow it diligently, you cannot go wrong and it's confirmed you will lose weight and become more beautiful .Their treatments are awesome. Be sure to take enough towels which you will need after oil or mud or other massage .Although they do give you one but it's not enough to get all oil off .Also try to take a shower cap, there will be some hydrotherapies too (if prescribed by doctor ).Please get to know the treatment codes and place of treatment, so that way you will not be confused if you are prepared. The food is mostly raw diet and boiled food only. I had a bad migraine on the 2nd day due to food deprivation. My doctor was very kind enough to add an extra bowl of fruits in my diet. The salads are so tasty and juices are served 4 times during the day. 7.30 am 9 am 2 pm. 4 pm Be sure to be in your room between 8 am to 8.30 am and 1.30 pm to 2pm.The staff will apply mud pack on your abdomen and eyes and it's very cooling.They come to the room so don't wander around outside. Room cleaning was done between 9am - 10 am The doctors are very sweet, humble and know their job at the back of their palm. Most sadhaks I spoke to lost some 5 kgs on 10 days but you must follow the schedule. We had a problem with Hot water most our stay .It was just like warm.But I was fine .Just managed. It wasn't a big deal for me since it was summer anyway. If you have decided to change your lifestyle and start your journey to a better health ,this place us for you.You will just need a lot of discipline and dedication and will power. You will come out looking simply awesome and so smart . Wishing everyone a better health and happy ,prosperous life .Om Shanti "Let us return to nature " .

Wonderful experience of staying for 7 days treatment. The property is at convenient location to reach, well maintained with clean/green environment and of unique features like no noise, surrounded by forest, overlooking western ghat hills. Etc. Front office, billing section staff need to improve on their customer interaction skills and need to be more polite to extend better understanding towards inmate's requests. The queries are not adequately answered. The housekeeping and treatment section staff are excellent, polite, humble, charming, and truly service oriented. They are the backbone of your institution. I would like to congratulate you for developing such an efficient workforce. The interns and doctors are also very good and doing a decent job of adding lot of value to your organisation. The food supplied is of good quality. Various sessions you conduct and treatments you provide are fantastic. We had life changing experience. The whole institution is run efficiently with discipline and dedication. We wish to visit once every year, henceforth. We had remarkable changes in our health parameters. The service you provide is a great contribution towards societal wellbeing.

I'm visiting this place since 2015, it's my 11th visit. Most divine blissful experience with dedicated ever smiling CMO & his team of Doctors and great staff especially for people who love health and wellness, except very Rude behaviour of Manager and reception staff who behave very strangely inhumane and emotionless so don't be disappointed by their disrespectful attitude and very rude behaviour. Otherwise it's just great place for people who love nature and health.
