LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Profile:

 

Subject is a century old Charitable Institution engaged in the practice and propagation of Ayurveda, the ancient health care system of India. Subject offers classical Ayurvedic medicines and authentic Ayurvedic treatments and therapies to patients from all over India and abroad.


Subject was established at Kottakkal in Kerala State of India in 1902 by the visionary physician and philanthropist, the late Vaidyaratnam P.S. Varier. Started essentially as a village clinic, it has now grown into a multi-unit, multi-disciplinary and multi-crore organisations. It has operations in different areas of Ayurvedic practice.


Subject manages Ayurvedic Hospitals at Kottakkal, Delhi and Kochi. All classical Ayurvedic medicines, therapies and expert medical advice are available there. Subject has two modern medicine manufacturing units, has well equipped quality control labs, has full-fledged research activities, publishes Ayurvedic periodicals and books, cultivates medicinal plants and conducts educational programmes. AVS also runs a Kathakali academy where the classical theatre of Kathakali is taught and performed.

 

 

The Beginning:

 

Sri P. S. Varier, scion of an illustrious family of Kottakkal in the Malabar region of Kerala, was an extraordinary man. He was a multi-faceted personality: a renowned Ayurvedic scholar and academician, an able practitioner; a successful entrepreneur, and a genuine philanthropist... all at the same time!


Sri Varier studied Ayurveda under the classical Gurukula system. He also acquired proficiency in the practice of Allopathy.


In late 1902, Sri Varier founded the subject, Kottakkal, for the preparation of authentic Ayurvedic medicines.

 

The rest is history. Today, Kottakkal subject is a name synonymous with Ayurveda. A name that offers a new lease of life to the suffering humanity.

 

 

Recognition:

In 1933, in recognition of his valuable services to humanity, Sri P. S. Varier was conferred the distinguished title of 'Vaidyaratna' by His Excellency the Viceroy and Governor General of India.

 

Sri Varier wrote text books of students of Ayurved. One of them, Ashtangasariram, won a certificate in 1932 from the National Organisation of Physicians.

 

 

First Managing Trustee:

 

Founder in his will had named the members of the board to administer siubject after his demise. Accordingly his nephew Aryavaidyan P. Madhava Varier became the first Managing Trustee in 1944. He was in office till he passed away in a tragic aircrash in 1953. He initiated the process of modernizing of subject and laid down the foundation for many later developments including the nursing home.

 

 

Present Managing Trustee


Dr. P. K. Warrier

Managing Trustee and Chief Physician

Aryavaidyan P.K. Warrier became the Managing Trustee on the demise of his brother P.M. Varier. He is leading Subject for more than half a century. Dr. P.K. Warrier serves also as the Chief Physician ably assisted by other senior and experienced physicians. Under his leadership subject has grown into a multi-core, multi-unit, organization and has been recognized as the premier centre of Ayurveda in the country. Subject became the destination of ailing patients, rich and poor alike, students and scholars from India and abroad. He made Kottakkal the synonym of authentic ayurveda.

 

P.K. Warrier made his imprints as an able administrator, educationist and academician and above all a physician of international repute. Dr. Warrier is the person most sought after in national and international conferences. His most important works are Padamudrakal – a collection of scientific papers and Smrtiparvam, his autobiography.

Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala – An Overview

 

 

 

Medicines:

There is a variety of Ayurvedic medicines. Subject manufactures more than 530 classical formulations

 

Their manufacture and marketing are licensed by the Drug Controlling Authority of the State Government. The manufacturing activity is also granted GMP certification by the Government.

 

The principles and methodology of medicine preparation are based on classical tenets. However modern technological and industrial methods are adapted to possible extent. For example, basic cooking is now done in pharmaceutical grade stainless steel vessels by using steam as the source of heat. Vacuum evaporation is employed for concentration step. Several electro-mechanical equipments are used for size reduction of herbs, pulverisation, sifting, grinding, filling and packing, etc.

 

On an average, 20-30 herbs are used in the preparation of a medicine. There are rare instances when more than a hundred herbs go into the making of a medicine. There are others which take months to get prepared as a lot. Ayurvedic medicine manufacture is material-intensive, time-intensive, labour-intensive and also water-intensive. They form the main cost contributory factors.

 

Subject uses more than 4000 tons of raw material (about 600 items) in a year to produce 530 formulations for the market. A rough estimate of annual consumption by subject:

 

1.

Milk

- 13 lakh litre
