Authentic origin
These systems grew here. That is not a marketing line — it is why the protocol and the pharmacy sit in the same country.

The acronym
What AYUSH stands for
Five recognised systems. Doctor-led treatment — not a lifestyle retreat, and not surgery.
- A
Ayurveda
India’s classical medicine — herbs, diet, and protocol-based care written by a physician.
- Y
Yoga & Naturopathy
Therapeutic yoga and naturopathy as treatment, not a drop-in class at a resort.
- U
Unani
Greco-Arabic traditional medicine, delivered at recognised Unani centres.
- S
Siddha
Tamil medical tradition, matched only where a Siddha physician actually practises.
- H
Homeopathy
Dilution-based care under BHMS-qualified doctors — a plan, not a shop-front remedy.
Why India
Ancient systems.Clinically administered.
The plan is written in clinic, not at a spa reception.
Doctor-led, not spa-led
BAMS, BUMS, or BHMS physicians write the plan. Therapists carry it out. A menu at reception is the wrong product.
Government-backed
Ministry of AYUSH policy, NABH AYUSH accreditation, and a dedicated visa category. Unregulated retreats are not this page.
Treats real conditions
Chronic pain, arthritis, digestion, skin, and stress-related illness. Healthy people seeking a spa week belong on Wellness.
Programmes
Popular AYUSH treatments
Duration is typical, not a promise. The receiving physician writes the protocol after reading your file.

e-AYUSH visa
A real Government of India visa category
Launched 27 July 2023. We will not pretend a tourist stamp is the same thing. You apply on the official portal; we help with the letter and the file.
Official category
e-AYUSH visa
Since 27 July 2023
What it is
A Government of India visa category for people travelling for AYUSH treatment. Sub-types include AY-1, AY-2 (attendant), e-Ayush, and e-Ayush attendant — launched 27 July 2023.
Who it is for
Foreign nationals whose purpose is treatment at a centre accredited or registered with the relevant authority, NABH, NCISM, or NCH. An invitation or treatment letter from that centre is required. This is guidance, not immigration advice.
How we help
Visa support is a field in the case wizard. We help assemble what the centre and the portal ask for. You apply on the official site — we do not sell “express visas”.
Process
How an AYUSH case moves
Six steps. A physician can still say no. Nothing is shared with a centre until you approve a quote.
Start your AYUSH case- 01
Submit your case
Condition, goals, and which AYUSH system you want — or that you are not sure yet.
- 02
Doctor review
An AYUSH-qualified physician reads the file and recommends a protocol, or says this is the wrong pathway.
- 03
Compare centre quotes
Plan, duration, diet, room, and cost — written before you pack. Nothing is shared until you approve.
- 04
e-AYUSH visa and travel
Invitation letter, portal guidance, flights advice, and airport pickup on the same desk.
- 05
Treatment in India
Supervised residential programme. Therapy hours and rest are clinical, not optional sightseeing.
- 06
Follow-up after you land home
Discharge notes, medicines, and a continuing plan — not a goodbye at departures.

Patient voices
Outcomes, not spa reviews
First names, with consent. What moved after a protocol — not a rating of the pool.
01
“Twenty-one days of Panchakarma for a back that had failed physiotherapy at home. The physician changed the oils twice. The pain that had sat for three years did not vanish in a weekend — it receded enough to walk without bargaining.”
02
“Knee arthritis, not ready for replacement. The quote listed therapy hours, diet, and the attendant room. I knew what 18 days would cost before I booked the visa.”
03
“They refused a five-day “detox” when the file needed a full protocol. That no was the reason I trusted the yes that followed.”
04
“Skin that had bounced between clinics. A BHMS doctor took a long case history. Follow-up after I flew home was on the same MedMax file.”
Questions
Before a protocol is written
If you want a spa week, that is Wellness. If you need a surgeon, that is Medical. We will say so.
Contact the deskWhat is the e-AYUSH visa and how do I apply?
It is a Government of India visa category for people travelling for AYUSH treatment, launched 27 July 2023 (AY-1, AY-2 attendant, e-Ayush, and e-Ayush attendant). You apply on the official Indian e-Visa portal. We help with the centre invitation letter as part of the case — we do not sell “express visas”.
Is AYUSH treatment scientifically recognised or regulated?
AYUSH is a formal Government of India ministry. Centres we shortlist are NABH AYUSH accredited or otherwise recognised. That is regulation, not a claim that every protocol matches a Western RCT. If you need surgery, that file belongs on Medical.
How long does a typical Ayurveda or Panchakarma programme take?
Most residential protocols are 14 or 21 days. Shorter stays are rarely worth the flight. The receiving physician writes the length after reading your file — we will say no if a week is too little.
Will I see a qualified doctor, or just a therapist?
A BAMS, BUMS, or BHMS physician writes the plan. Therapists carry out what was written. If a centre is spa-led, we will not match it on this page.
What is the difference between this and the general Wellness page?
This page is doctor-led AYUSH treatment for a condition. Wellness is a lifestyle retreat — yoga, spa, detox, burnout weeks — without a clinical protocol. If you want a spa week, use Wellness rather than this page. Open Wellness.
Can AYUSH replace surgery?
No. If the file needs a surgeon, we move it to Medical. AYUSH can sometimes follow a medical case as a later step — not as a substitute for the operation. Open Medical.
