Our approach

There is a science to healing. And a system behind that science.

At Pema, your treatment doesn't begin with symptoms.
It begins with the truth beneath them.

Perched on the Healing Hills of Visakhapatnam, sacred ground revered for centuries, we've created something rare: a place where ancient wisdom meets modern precision, where healing becomes inevitable rather than hoped for.

The 5 Koshas

We don’t treat what the body shows. We treat what the being stores.

Healing at Pema is structured across five layers of human consciousness from physical to bliss.
This is our Kosha Framework, rooted in 5,000 years of yogic understanding and validated by modern science.

True wellness begins when all five layers speak to one another in harmony.

Where presence begins

This is the subtle essence beneath all else not sought, but felt. A simple miracle, nurtured by being
fully present.

Dr. Murthy’s legacy

He didn’t start a retreat. He rewrote how India heals.

‘When we live in tune with nature, the body begins to heal itself.’

Dr. S.N. Murthy is known as the Father of Naturopathy in India. For over 40 years, he studied how natural healing laws and medical-grade protocols could work in harmony. His revolutionary approach proved that the body’s innate intelligence, when properly supported, surpasses any external intervention.

His revolutionary discoveries:

Dr. Murthy’s legacy lives on in every protocol at Pema, every consultation with our physicians, and every guest who experiences what seemed impossible: complete healing through natural means.

Why Naturopathy

Every symptom has a pattern. Every pattern has a source.

Naturopathy connects the dots that conventional medicine often misses. Whether you’re dealing with bloating, burnout, or blood pressure, the root cause often lies deeper than the symptom suggests.

The Naturopathic advantage

Naturopathy

Eliminates root causes, restores natural function, treats the whole being

Conventional medicine

Manages symptoms, creates dependencies, treats parts in isolation.

How we practise Naturopathy

A rare union of ocean, hills, and healing energy, this sanctuary offers an immersive environment designed to restore balance, peace, and vitality.

How we practise Naturopathy

Advanced diagnostics reveal what’s really happening beneath the surface

Treatments that work with your body’s intelligence, not against it

Sustainable practices that become your new way of living

Addressing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual layers simultaneously

Healing that transforms rather than temporarily relieves

At Pema, we identify the root with diagnostic precision and build treatment plans that align with your body’s natural rhythm. Not just masking symptoms eliminating their source.

Science & methodology

This isn't holistic guesswork. It's structured protocol.

Every program at Pema is built on a foundation of rigorous testing, precise protocols, and measurable outcomes. We blend ancient wisdom with modern diagnostic precision to create treatment plans that are both scientifically sound and deeply healing.

Our scientific approach

Advanced diagnostics

We go far beyond basic check-ups. From in-depth blood chemistry and microbiome analysis to hormonal and metabolic assessments, our diagnostics reveal the complete picture of your health.

Your treatment plan is built around you, your biochemistry, your pace, your needs. Nutrition, therapies, and movement are calibrated daily, ensuring each step moves you closer to lasting wellness.

Measurable outcomes

From diagnostics to daily therapies, everything at Pema is tracked, tailored, and scientifically structured. Ancient wisdom guided by modern precision.

In your own words

Healing through food

Food this good shouldn’t be this functional, and food this functional shouldn’t be this good. That’s the Pema paradox.

At Pema, food isn’t just nourishment.
It’s medicine, rooted in naturopathic science, powered by therapeutic ingredients, and elevated by culinary mastery.

Every meal is handcrafted by doctors and nutritionists using pranic cooking methods that activate the body’s natural healing response. The result? Dishes that restore hormonal balance, reduce inflammation, and heal the gut, without ever tasting medicinal.

No pills. No crash diets. No tasteless compromises.
Just food that feels indulgent and heals at the cellular level.

Guests often say, “I don’t want the meals to end.”
Because for many, it’s the first time food makes them feel safe, full, and free.

Your healing begins here

You don't need to start with certainty. You just need to start.

Every healing journey begins with a single step.
At Pema, we meet you wherever you are whether you’re seeking luxury wellness or serious medical intervention and guide you toward the transformation you never thought possible.

Begin with a simple 3-minute health assessment. We’ll help you understand your unique needs and design a program that serves your deepest healing.

On the Healing Hills of Visakhapatnam, where ancient wisdom meets modern precision, your transformation becomes not just possible but inevitable.

Frequently asked questions

Still have questions?

We’ve hosted thousands of guests each with different needs, goals, and doubts. Here are answers to what people usually ask before they begin.

We don’t treat symptoms, we treat systems. Our method blends diagnostics, movement, stillness, and nutrition to reset your root imbalances.

Because that’s how long it takes for the body to settle, release, and begin to rebuild. Anything shorter usually doesn’t unlock deeper shifts.

We now offer Pema Light a 3-day wellness reset that lets you experience our methods in a lighter, more flexible format.

Not unless your doctor recommends it. Our protocols are personalized; we meet you where you are and build from there.

You’ll receive a detailed home protocol with diet, rituals, and check-ins to support long-term healing.
