Cascais is where Lisbon goes to slow down, and slowing down alone turns out not to fix very much. What does is treatment with a structure behind it: a physician's assessment, fresh medicines, a prescribed diet and two or three weeks of daily therapy. MyVaidyam matches the centre in India to your condition and arranges the visa letter.
| Travel | Cascais: 40 minutes to Lisbon airport, then a Gulf hub; Kerala one flight from the Indian gateway. |
| Time difference | India is 4.5 hours ahead (summer) / 5.5 hours ahead (winter) of Portugal. |
| Visa | Portuguese passport holders can apply online for India's e-Ayush Visa, made for Ayurveda treatment; a companion can apply for the e-Ayush Attendant Visa. |
| Typical stay | 14 days (detox / rejuvenation) · 21-28 days (chronic conditions). |
| Best season | October-March (dry, settled weather across South India, and a mild escape from the Portuguese winter) or June-August (Kerala's classical monsoon therapy season). |
| What MyVaidyam does | Centre matching, report review, visa-letter support, pre-arrival planning, and follow-up after you return. |
In India, Ayurveda is a complete clinical programme — a doctor's assessment, a personalised diet, fresh medicines, and Panchakarma therapies given daily in a set sequence.
The physician reviews your progress daily and adjusts therapy, oils and diet as your body responds. You are a patient under supervision, not a guest booking treatments.
Cascais runs on commutes into Lisbon, coastal weekends and screens. Two or three weeks in a quiet Kerala setting, with no commute and a fixed routine, gives the treatment room to work.
A two-to-three-week residential programme in India includes accommodation, meals, daily therapies and a doctor's care — often for less than a short private wellness stay closer to home.
Many established Kerala centres run their own pharmacies, so your oils and decoctions are prepared under your doctor's instruction, not shipped from a warehouse.
Classical Ayurveda, delivered by qualified Vaidyas in the country where it has been refined for more than 2,000 years.
Ayurveda works alongside your regular medical care. It is especially sought for long-standing, lifestyle-related problems.
| Programme | Typical duration | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Classical Panchakarma Detox | 14-21 days | Deep cleansing, reset, chronic imbalance |
| Stress & Sleep Recovery | 14 days | Burnout, anxiety, insomnia |
| Pain & Joint Care | 21-28 days | Back, neck, knee and arthritis pain |
| Rasayana (Rejuvenation) | 7-14 days | Energy, immunity, healthy ageing |
| Condition-Specific Treatment | 21-28 days | Skin, gut, metabolic and women's health |

Cascais is about 40 minutes from Lisbon airport, and travel to India goes through a Gulf hub. A Gulf hub such as Doha, Dubai or Abu Dhabi gives the widest choice of arrival airports in India. Schedules change by season, so check current timetables when you book. We recommend 1-2 rest days before therapy begins.
October-March: dry and pleasant across South India while Portugal is cold — our most popular season. June-August: the monsoon season, considered ideal for Panchakarma, quieter and often better value.
At least 14 days for detox or rejuvenation; 21-28 days for a chronic condition. We'll always be honest about what a shorter stay can and cannot achieve.
