Sreedhareeyam, the leading name in Ayurvedic Eye care traces its origins to Nellikatu Mana- an ancient, reputed Brahmin family in Kerala with a 400-year old history.
Kerala has always been known as one of the chief centres of early Ayurvedic practice in India. The science of Ayurveda it is believed is divided into 8 segments or parts with each part corresponding to a special part of our body. The ancient sages of yore selected 8 prominent families and blessed and bestowed on them to carry on the treatment for the welfare of mankind. Thus since olden days Ayurvedic Ophthalmology was the stronghold of Nellikattu Mana family. Though Ayurveda is practised extensively for common ailments like arthirites-vadham and other diseases eye care was the exclusive practice of Nellikatu Mana and a few select families. Tracing back the history of Sreedhareeyam, Vaidyan Nellikattu Veliaynarayan Namboothiri -1800-1850 was succeeded by Vaidyan Nellikattu Valiyaparameshwaran Namboothiri. During this time due to divine interpretation and blessing from the almighty this institution witnessed many unbelievable miracles that are recorded in the ancient documents. |

It was in 1925 that the famous brothers, Nellikattu Vaidyans Trivikraman Namboothiri and Parameshwaran Namboothir jointly formed Sreedhari Vaidyashala, as a mark of respect to their Guru Madom Sreedharan Namboothiri. Devoted, skilled and equipped with vast resources of knowledge and wisdom acquired from their ancestors, the vaidyashala that cured thousands of patients with eye ailments was a boon to society.
Under the able guidance of the two dedicated brothers-the elder Vikraman Vaidyan prescribing the treatment and the younger Parameshwar Vadiyan organizing the herbs and medicines, Sreedhari Vadiyashala grew in stature and the knowledge and techniques were inherited from generation to generation. |

The senior Members of Nellikkattu Mana- Sri N.P Narayanan Namboothiri (Chairman Sreedhareeyam Group) and Dr. N.P.P Namboothiri (Chief Physician & Managing Director Sreedhareeyam Group) from childhood had attained and mastered the essence of Ayurveda and Ayurvedic Ophthalmology from their father Parameshwaran Vaidayan and uncle Trivikraman Vaidyan. Dr.N.P.P.Namboothiri also underwent training at Tripunithura Government Ayurvedic College. Later under the guidance of his Guru and uncle Trivikraman Namboothiri he became skilled in traditional Ayurveda.
With the noble intention of serving the common people Dr. N.P.P Namboothiri joined govt service. During his tenure of more than 30 years he rendered his services selflessly reaching out to especially to the poor and needy. With scarcity of Ayurvedic supplies and herbs and due to the lack of proper infrastructure for treatments, the brothers Nelikkattu Narayanan Namboothiri and Dr. N.P.P Namboothiri set up their own hospital in Nellikkattu Mana wIth all facilities for treatments and production of Ayurvedic medicines in the year 1999. This crucial phase is mentioned as the rebirth of "Sreedhareeyam". Beginning with bare facilities of treating and admitting just 10 patients Sreedhareeyam today has expanded into a 350-bed hospital with a scientifically equipped production unit with all modern facilities as per WHO standards and GMP certification. These achievements without a trace of doubt are due to the sheer noble, dedicated and altruistic service of Sreedhareeyam. |

Science and technology are moving at a revolutionary phase. Yet as per statistics one person is losing his eyesight every five seconds. One million people in the world are blind... And a million more people are becoming blind... Lifestyle changes, pollution etc are affecting the eyes, deteriorating our vision, causing early blindness.
Ayur means life and Veda means knowledge. Ayurveda is not just a science. It is a way of life, a religion and a wonderful healing process that heals and treats not just the symptoms but the patient too eradicating the root cause of all doshas or ailments. The aim and vision of Sreedhareeyam is thus to spread and impart the knowledge and wisdom of the ancient science, to enhance the vision, relieve and heal humanity suffering and groping in the dark due to blindness and eye ailments. |
