A qualified Ayurvedic doctor sees each guest first; programmes usually run 5 to 21 days and are priced after consultation. ### Anti-Ageing Programme https://bellevuehomestay.com/package/anti-aging/ As we get older, Ayurveda says the body tends to dry out. You see it in dry skin and eyes, stiff joints, worn cartilage and thinning bones. Ayurveda links this to an imbalance of Vata, the air element, which in the mind can show up as worry and restlessness. Rasayana, the rejuvenation branch of Ayurveda, works against this with herb-infused oils that support circulation, skin and joint lubrication, and with healthy fats in the diet. Ghee, coconut oil and sesame oil are chosen to suit your constitution and how much dryness you have. Strength, balance and focus matter as much as bones and joints. Treatments such as Pizhichil, where warm medicated oil is poured over the body, and Shirodhara, a steady stream of oil over the forehead, are used to nourish the muscles and nerves and help you feel steadier on your feet. Includes: Accommodation at BelleVue, Consultation with a qualified Ayurvedic doctor, Therapies as prescribed by the doctor, Diet and meals planned to your constitution. ### Wellness Diet Learning Programme https://bellevuehomestay.com/package/wellness-diet/ Ayurvedic cooking is a practical way of preparing food around the needs of the person eating it, based on their body constitution, or prakriti. A balanced diet keeps the three doshas in balance, and that balance is what Ayurveda calls health. Every food, and even the way you eat it, either aggravates, calms or balances the doshas. Ayurveda also groups food as sattvic, rajasic or tamasic, depending on its effect on the body and mind. On this programme you'll learn the ideas in plain language, then put them into practice in our kitchen, cooking everyday Kerala dishes adapted to your constitution. You go home with recipes and habits you can actually keep. Includes: Accommodation at BelleVue, Consultation to understand your prakriti, Hands-on cooking sessions, Daily meals following the programme. ### Detox Programme https://bellevuehomestay.com/package/detox/ When poor sleep, rushed meals and months of stress start to show, Ayurveda's answer is to clear out before building back up. This programme uses traditional cleansing therapies to help the body get rid of accumulated toxins, alongside a light diet and gentle yoga. The doctor decides which therapies suit you and how long you need. Many of the herbs used are valued in Ayurveda for their antioxidant and protective properties, to support immunity as the body recovers. A detox is easier when life around you is quiet. Here that means a room by the river, simple food from our kitchen and nothing on the schedule except your treatment. Includes: Accommodation at BelleVue, Consultation with an Ayurvedic doctor, Spa therapies, Wellness yoga, Detox diet. ### Weight Loss Package https://bellevuehomestay.com/package/weight-loss-package/ This package is about balance, not starvation. The aim is to steady your metabolism and get your circulation moving, through a combination of slimming therapies, a diet designed for you, exercise and yoga. Together these are meant to correct metabolic habits, support hormonal balance and help the body shed excess fat and retained fluid. The doctor sets the plan after your consultation and adjusts it as you go. Results depend on the person and the length of stay, and the real benefit is often the habits you take home. We'll be honest with you about what's realistic. Includes: Accommodation at BelleVue, Consultation with an Ayurvedic doctor, Slimming therapies, Weight-loss yoga, Customised diet. ### Wellness Vacation https://bellevuehomestay.com/package/wellness-vacation/ For travellers who care about their health but also want a proper holiday. You get daily rejuvenating therapy and yoga, and plenty of time left over for the river, the beach and the villages. If stress, travel and long working hours have worn you down, the therapies are chosen to restore energy and help you sleep and think more clearly. It's the easiest way to try Ayurveda if you haven't before, and it includes a houseboat trip on the Korapuzha. Includes: Accommodation at BelleVue, Consultation with an Ayurvedic doctor, Rejuvenating Ayurvedic therapy, Wellness yoga, Holistic cuisine, Houseboat trip. ## Distances by road - Koyilandy railway station: 11 km, about 20 min - Kappad Beach: 14 km, about 25 min - Kozhikode (Calicut) city centre: 26 km, about 45 min - Kozhikode (Calicut) railway station: 28 km, about 50 min - Kakkayam Dam: 45 km, about 1 hr 30 min - Calicut International Airport (CCJ): 49 km, about 1 hr 20 min - Thusharagiri Waterfalls: 62 km, about 1 hr 45 min - Kannur International Airport (CNN): 92 km, about 2 hr - Wayanad (Vythiri): 95 km, about 2 hr 45 min - Edakkal Caves: 115 km, about 3 hr 15 min ## Nearby places ### Nearby beaches - Kappad Beach (13 km): About 20 minutes away.
