Indus Valley Ayurvedic Centre (IVAC) is constructively engaged in the revival of an affordable, reliable and proven Ayurvedic healthcare system. Through scholarly research and study, IVAC seeks to improve our understanding of the disease process, the role played by modern lifestyles in producing stress and anxiety and how to deal with them.

Our approach to teaching and practicing Ayurveda is multi-disciplinary.We examine the complex interactions between the physical, social, mental and environmental factors and how they affect our lives. Thus, our programs reside at the qualitative end of holistic care, wherein our practitioners and the recipients of care interact much more closely than in conventional modern medicine.

Through the dedicated efforts of our highly motivated team, we at IVAC are engaged in the task of spreading awareness of the benefits of the Ayurvedic way of life. Our aim is to revive the memory of our true divine nature; to rekindle our intrinsic ability to heal ourselves.

Research - A Global Perspective

Ayurvedic research at IVAC is an ongoing effort with the purpose of making useful contributions to mainstream medicine. IVAC hopes to successfully superimpose current know-how on ancient Ayurvedic traditions without sacrificing the integrity of those traditions.

IVAC has committed substantial resources into Ayurveda research. For the first time IVAC is a part of a collaborative research program with Vikram hospital and Heart Care, Mysore and the University of Maryland, USA on the study and prevention of childhood obesity. A number of similar research programs have been planned for the future. This would indeed increase awareness and acceptance by the international community of Ayurveda as a valid “science of life”. In addition to this IVAC will give Ayurveda a truly global perspective and relevance.

All research papers and findings produced at IVAC will be published in accordance with the Protocols recommended by the World Health Organization on presentations of scientific papers.

I came here limping but now I am able to walk briskly. The facilities at IVAC are excellent and not only does one get well here, he also learns a lot from the healing hands and nimble fingers of the therapists.

Chris Kilham

Author of many books on yoga and natural health says in his book Tales from the Medicine Trail

India offers a broad range of choices, from the wholly unacceptable to the sublime; some places of Ayurvedic treatments are so unfortunately seamy and unsanitary as to be truly scary. At the other end of the spectrum, deep in the realm of the sublime, the IVAC offers all traditional therapies of Ayurveda, with unsurpassed amenities and attention to detail. In fact at first glance, you could mistake IVAC for a small, world class spa or an intimate, recondite lodging for the elite.

Bina Gupta, Brooklyn, New York, USA

Our experience at IVAC has been great. Our main motive in coming here was to lose weight. My husband Ganesh did very well and lost about 6 kgs in a month and that is great. I lost only 2 kgs in a month but the treatments cured my insomnia which I have suffered for several years and could not be treated by doctors in the US. Now I am able to sleep very well.
We plan to return soon for 2 more weeks.

I found there was a real Ayurvedic center, IVAC, in Mysore. It is not commercialised but genuine. It was a wonderful experience, which gave me power and youth. The facilities are of international standards and one feels very safe in a family environment. There is a presence of softness, purity and care in the people, the treatments and the facilities.
