The programme
Carnoustie Ayurveda & Wellness Resort describes this programme as a combination of Ayurveda and yoga. Among the problems it says Ayurvedic treatment can address, it lists insufficient or delayed periods (amenorrhoea), painful periods (dysmenorrhoea), PCOD/PCOS, ovarian or uterine cysts, infertility and uterine prolapse. The page also discusses hormonal balance and menopausal symptoms.
Read the full description
The property says treatment is based on each guest’s individual constitution (dosha). It calls panchakarma, which it describes as a combination of five purification procedures, the master therapy, and pairs it with rejuvenation therapies such as pizhichil, elakizhi, njavarakizhi and shirodhara. The page also covers marma therapy, yoga therapy, pranayama, yoga nidra and pranic healing.
The page recommends inverted postures for the reproductive organs, but says they should be left out during menstruation and after the sixth month of pregnancy. It recommends a wholesome vegetarian diet, and meals follow an individual Ayurvedic diet plan set on the doctor’s advice.

Where you stay
Carnoustie Ayurveda & Wellness Resort
A villa resort with its own Ayurveda spa on the Arabian Sea shore at Marari, Alappuzha, set in what it describes as 25 acres of landscaped gardens.
Worth knowing: Villa rates cover bed and breakfast only; programmes are priced separately. The booking policy asks for payment by cash or demand draft and forfeits 50% on a cancellation 15 days before arrival and the full amount inside that — its terms page words the 50% window as 20 to 15 days. The resort serves no alcohol and holds no liquor licence, and its healing programme page says it does not do cross-gender treatments.
The full profileWho looks after you
Supervision, by qualification and number
Teams are described by role and qualification rather than by name, because staffing changes. The property confirms the current team and how practitioners are assigned before or on arrival.
- Clinical supervision
- The programme page lists a doctors' wellness team. Three of those doctors also appear on the property’s team page, each with a BAMS degree, and one lists PCOD, endometriosis and menopause care among their specialisations.
- The team around you
- The programme page lists eight doctors in its doctors' wellness team and four yoga teachers. The property’s team page shows a different, smaller roster.
- Consultations
- The property lists a daily doctor’s consultation among the programme’s inclusions.
Make a trip of it
Before, during and after your stay
The excursions and extra stays we arrange in Kerala, placed by when to take each — a good day out on the wrong day of a treatment course is not a good day out.
Explore flights, excursions & extra stays
Before you begin
Arrive early — see the country while you are fresh
Extra stay · 3 nights
Kochi & the backwaters
The obvious and correct opener: fort Kochi, a barge night, and an unhurried arrival into the time zone before anyone takes your pulse.
Nature · Overnight, or a half day
A night on the backwaters
A converted rice barge from Alleppey through the Kuttanad channels. The overnight is worth it; the three-hour version is a queue of identical boats.
Culture · Full day
Fort Kochi and Mattancherry
The Chinese fishing nets, the Paradesi synagogue, the Dutch Palace murals and a spice-market walk. Five hundred years of Portuguese, Dutch and Jewish Kochi in one walkable afternoon.
During the stay
Light enough for a rest day or a free afternoon
Women’s health care at Carnoustie Ayurveda & Wellness ResortCulture · 3 hours
Kathakali, properly
Arrive an hour early to watch the make-up go on — it is the better half. Ask us for the Kochi hall that still plays to Malayali audiences rather than the tourist matinée.
Culture · 2 hours
The oil kitchen and the pharmacy
At the houses that still compound their own preparations, ask to be shown the room. Most will say yes and few guests think to ask. It is the single most convincing hour of the fortnight.
After you finish
The reward, once the treatment is done
Extra stay · 5 nights
The Golden Triangle
Delhi, Agra and Jaipur on the way home. Long flights internally and worth every one of them if it is a first trip to India.
Extra stay · 4 nights
Tamil Nadu temples
Madurai, Thanjavur and Chettinad — the living Dravidian south, three hours east and a different civilisation.
Nature · Full day, or two nights
A tea estate day in Munnar
Four hours up from Kochi into the Western Ghats at 1,600 m. Genuinely cold, entirely different country. Too far and too long for a treatment rest day — take it before or after.
Nature · Two nights
Periyar, for the elephants
A tiger reserve where you will not see a tiger and will see elephant, gaur and hornbill. A boat on the lake at dawn is the version worth doing.
