The Ayurveda Healing Village vaidyagrAma is being created in the green land in the
*
outskirts of Coimbatore – India
India…. in the most natural most environment-friendly
natural,
way.
With all the good wishes, the construction of the healing village has commenced in
•
the land. The foundation for the first Hospital is laid, and the process is going on.
It consists of 3 clusters each with 3 h
it f lt h ith hospital bl k each consisting of 4 patient
it l blocks, h i ti f ti t
rooms, 1 treatment room, Therapists block & the Physicians Block. The Phase 1 of
vaidyagrAma, which will be open to the world by April 2009, can accommodate almost
100 patients.
* The aim is to create a most natural healing space, in all aspects, & hence the effort
to make & maintain the structure as natural as possible. There has been use of
special mud walls; with the usage of natural mud & binders available, the effort is to
reduce the usage of cement. A herbal termite treatment is given, thus making even
the construction most eco friendly as possible. The commitment is to create a truly
construction, eco-friendly possible
natural Ayurveda hospital that is based on the textual dictates, and yet that suits
contemporary times.

26. * Towards the realistic goal of self sufficiency to a greater extent, vaidyagrAma
self-sufficiency extent
is taking its step forward. A nursery has been initiated for the medicinal plants,
in the premises itself.
* It is a matter of days when these clusters will take form, as
m f y f m,
envisaged in the concept of vaidyagrAma, the holistic healing village.
