Welcome to the Madras Institute of Ayurveda – the centre of Ayurvedic medicine and treatment, where age-old tradition meets modern techniques. With facilities for a whole range of quality ayurvedic treatments on par with the highest standards and finest traditions dating back to vedic times, MIA is headed by Dr. K. S. Manoj M.D. (AY) who is assisted by an accomplished team of trained and experienced therapists. Contemporary amenities are provided for all types of treatments and therapies including Panchakarma treatment, Kerala Specialty Ayurvedic Treatments, and Rejuvenating Therapy, etc. With an ever-increasing awareness about Ayurveda, the quest is on proper treatment and facilities by qualified and experienced therapists and physicians. When one thinks of Ayurveda, Kerala is what comes to mind. However, there exist too many constraints for patients – travel, language, accommodation for the duration of the treatment, etc. Moreover, heightened popularity of Ayurveda has led to the proliferation of Ayurvedic medicine shops but no qualified practitioner to guide or assist in treatment. MIA was established with the aim of bringing the same genuine treatment patterns with all facilities to a more accessible location.
