A journey to Kadavu is the journey into
the heartland of Ayurveda - Kerala nurtured this science
and groomed it into a veritable global legacy of mankind.
Here is a unique place, where it is a living system
of knowledge practiced in its fullness, richness and
authenticity. Among the legion of ancient and traditional
Ayurvedic physicians of Kerala the role of Ashtavaidyas
stands out. Literally they are the practitioners of
all the eight branches of Ayurveda.
At Kadavu, one practices the art of healing at the
Masters feet - the legacy of Ashtavaidyan Thaikat
Moss - a legend among the Ashtavaidyas - is alive
here. The centre has the blessings of the great seer
and is equipped with all the modes of treatment followed
by the great masters. The contribution of Kerala,
like Pizhichil, Navarakkizhi, Dhara, Thala pothichil
etc. and scholarly books like Chikitsamanjari, Yogamrutham,
Vaidya Manorama and innumerable Palm leaf manuscripts
are unique.
