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.

The 5 Koshas

We don't treat what the body shows.

Dr. Murthy’s legacy

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

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.

Natural healing methods can reverse chronic conditions

The body's intelligence knows how to heal when obstacles are removed

Lifestyle medicine creates lasting transformation, not temporary relief

Healing happens in layers addressing root causes, not just symptoms

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.

The circle of experts

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

Conventional medicine

Manages symptoms, creates dependencies, treats parts in isolation.

Naturopathy

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

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.
