It also possesses an in-patient department with up-to-date, well-equipped Panchakarma theatres. Successful treatment programs for an entire spectrum of diseases are offered.

Both Padhyam and Oushadham are required to eliminate a roga (disease). Treatment forms include Samana Chikitsa (Palliative Therapy), Sodhana Chikitsa (Purificatory Therapy), Rasayana Chikitsa, Kayakalpa Chikitsa and Vajeekarana Chikitsa.
