Our RootsA Legacy of Excellence

The story of Ennakkathara Aryavaidyasala is deeply intertwined with the traditions of the Ennakkathara family, who have been practitioners of Ayurveda for generations. The foundation of this institution was laid by the late Mr. E. C. Purushothaman Vaidyar, a pioneering figure whose dedication and skill in Ayurveda earned him the admiration of many. His mission to bring solace and healing to those in need through Ayurvedic practices became the cornerstone of the institution, and his legacy continues to inspire.

Following in his footsteps, Dr. P. Prabhakaran, his son and the current torchbearer of Ennakkathara Aryavaidyasala, has continued the family’s legacy with over 50 years of experience in the field. After completing his studies at the Government Ayurveda College in Tripunithura, Dr. Prabhakaran combined the academic knowledge he gained with the rich, traditional teachings passed down from his father. He began his practice at the Chottanikkara branch of Ennakkathara Aryavaidyasala in 1977, where he has since built a reputation for excellence in Ayurvedic treatment, offering personalized care and a deep understanding of holistic healing. The commitment to Ayurveda continues through the next generation. Dr. Sudheer E. P., Dr. Prabhakaran’s eldest son, graduated from Vaidyaratnam Ayurveda College, Ollur, Thrissur, and currently serves as a Medical Officer under the Kerala Government in the Indian System of Medicine. His wife, Dr. Nikila Sudheer, also an Ayurvedic graduate, is a consulting physician at the Chottanikkara branch of Ennakkathara Aryavaidyasala, providing expert care to patients seeking the therapeutic benefits of Ayurveda. Dr. Prajeesh E P , younger son of Dr. Prabhakaran, after graduation in Ayurveda, has taken charge of the Ayurveda medicine manufacturing unit at Poothotta ensuring that the highest standards of Ayurvedic formulations are maintained. His wife, Dr. Revathy Prajeesh, also an Ayurveda physician, contributes her expertise to the practice.
