Stepping
into
the
precincts
of
the
Government
Yoga
&
Naturopathy
Hospital
located
in
Varkala,
Kerala,
I
was
enveloped
by
the
tranquility
and
beauty
of
its
surroundings.
Perched
beside
the
picturesque
Varkala
Cliff
Beach,
the
hospital
offers
an
unparalleled
view
of
the
azure
sea,
which
could
be
relished
right
from
my
room.
The
gentle
sea
breeze
that
constantly
blew
was
invigorating
and
soothing
at
the
same
time.
Contrary
to
some
of
the
stereotypes
associated
with
government
facilities,
this
establishment
stood
out
for
its
impeccable
maintenance.
The
premises,
both
interiors
and
exteriors,
exuded
a
pristine
charm,
a
testament
to
the
dedication
and
hard
work
of
the
cleaning
staff.
I
could
not
help
but
admire
the
impeccable
standards
that
were
upheld
throughout
my
stay.
The
10-day
naturopathy
program
I
enrolled
in
was
a
comprehensive
journey
towards
holistic
wellness.
It
is
meticulously
crafted
to
address
weight
management,
but
its
primary
objective
goes
beyond
mere
aesthetics.
The
program
offers
a
thorough
detoxification
process,
rejuvenating
both
the
body
and
mind.
I
was
pleasantly
surprised
to
find
out
that
even
though
the
facility
can
accommodate
many
more
individuals,
they
cap
their
intake,
ensuring
that
every
guest
gets
individual
attention
and
care.
This
restraint,
I
believe,
stems
from
a
commitment
to
maintain
a
patient-to-staff
ratio
conducive
to
providing
personalized
care.
While
the
majority
of
the
staff
were
exceptional
in
their
duties,
there
was
a
notable
difference
in
the
approach
of
the
nurses
at
the
nursing
station.
Their
demeanor
was
more
reflective
of
a
typical
government
employee,
which
was
slightly
off-putting
amidst
the
otherwise
stellar
service.
However,
if
there
is
one
name
that
echoed
the
loudest
during
my
stay,
it
was
Dr.
Harikumar,
the
superintendent.
His
leadership,
passion,
and
unwavering
commitment
to
naturopathy
and
the
well-being
of
the
patients
are
palpable
in
every
nook
and
corner
of
the
hospital.
Conversations
with
other
patients
and
attendees
revealed
unanimous
admiration
for
his
dedication.
Dr.
Harikumar
is
the
driving
force
behind
this
establishment,
and
his
professionalism
shines
through
in
every
facet
of
the
hospital's
operations.
However,
a
pressing
concern
voiced
by
many,
including
myself,
is
the
dearth
of
similar
facilities
across
Kerala.
It's
bewildering
that
such
a
vast
state
with
its
rich
tradition
in
alternative
medicine
has
only
one
naturopathy
hospital
of
this
caliber.
There's
a
resonating
demand
for
more
such
institutions.
In
conclusion,
the
Government
Yoga
&
Naturopathy
Hospital
in
Varkala
isn't
just
a
place
for
physical
rejuvenation
but
a
haven
for
holistic
well-being.
With
its
stellar
location,
commendable
staff,
and
unparalleled
programs,
it's
an
experience
I'd
recommend
to
anyone
looking
to
reset
their
body
and
soul.
