Apollo AyurVAID Hospitals, Bengaluru

Apollo AyurVAID is a NABH-accredited Ayurveda and integrative-medicine hospital group in Bengaluru, now part of the Apollo Hospitals Group, with centres in Arekere, Domlur and HRBR Layout. AyurVAID states its Domlur centre was India's first NABH-accredited Ayurveda hospital, and its HRBR Layout centre secured the first NABH accreditation for Ayurvedic parasurgery. The group was founded by Rajiv Vasudevan, who continues to lead it as CEO, with Apollo Hospitals' Executive Vice-Chairperson Dr Preetha Reddy serving as AyurVAID's chairperson at group level.

Treatment is offered for chronic orthopaedic conditions (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, spondylosis, frozen shoulder), neurological conditions (migraine, Parkinson's disease, stroke rehabilitation), gastrointestinal disorders (IBS, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease) and metabolic conditions (diabetes, thyroid disorders, obesity).

Care is delivered by senior Ayurveda physicians using classical Panchakarma therapies such as Vamana, Virechana and Vasti, alongside detox and rejuvenation therapies, therapeutic massage and internal medications. The Arekere centre also operates as a Centre of Excellence in integrative oncology, working alongside conventional cancer treatment, including hospital-in-hospital arrangements with Aster CMI Hospital and Sri Sankara Cancer Hospital.

International patients considering Ayurvedic or integrative treatment for a chronic condition, either alone or alongside conventional medical care, may wish to compare this hospital group.
