What this actually is
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.
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.
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.

Supervision, by qualification and number
Clinical and practitioner teams are described by role and qualification rather than by individual name, because staffing changes. The property will confirm the current team and explain 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.
