Can you explain what is the difference in the Treatment at vaidyagrama if the rate is between 90$ and 145$, if everybody has only one treatment per day?


  • The treatments and medicines/oils used for each patient is dependent on the physician's assessment of the patient's need. As you are aware, we use more than 400 different herbs as well as more than 100 different medicated oils - the true benefit to the patient is derived only when the appropriate combination of herbs/oils are used; and this depends on the physician's assessment of the patient's condition
  • Many a time, while we believe that all is well with us, the same is not true; when the treatment commences, then some of these "hidden" problems come out (many a time the patient is not even aware of these hidden problems) - this is true for most patients who come to us and then those problems need to be addressed
  • It is not about whether treatments are given once or twice a day - it is completely depending on the patient's medical need that the treatments are determined; there are occasions when patients are given 2 treatments a day
  • The variation in cost is dependent on primarily the type of treatment that is selected to be given; and the type of herbs and oils that are going to be used for the duration you are here


If I do not take treatment on particular days, will I still be charged?


  • vaidyagrama is a hospital; NOT a hotel. Hence if a patient does not take treatment against the advice of the physicians, then he/she will still be charged
  • If a patient decides to leave the hospital for a few hours and does not come back in time to take the treatment at the prescribed time, vaidyagrama or the physicians will not be held responsible and the full charge will be applicable
  • However, due to medical reasons, if the physicians decide not to give treatment on certain days to a patient, then the appropriate amount will be reduced for those days
