How can you not include the best Kottakal Aryavaidya sala and AVP or vaidya madhom or even VAidyaratnam thaikuttu moos. You have left out the top places. I dont know how and on what basis you have compiled the list. You seem to have no first hand experience or your research is very poor.
Please contact the ones mentioned above.
Sure. When are you planning the trip and what is the budget?
It will be helpful for me, if you can suggest a good massage centre in kerala preferably with female massager which can reduce colestrol level, can control Blood pressure and full body massage for two weeks or three weeks.
