B.A.M (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine)
Chief Physician & Founder, Agasthya Ayurvedic Medical Centre
A third-generation Ayurvedic practitioner and the only physician to have trained closely with Marmacharya Sri Sudheer Vaidhyar for over a decade, Dr. Bose combines an inherited healing tradition with specialized Marma Chikitsa expertise to treat back pain, disc problems, and joint conditions — helping thousands of patients avoid surgery.
Healing runs in Dr. Bose's family. His grandfather, the late Sri Krishnan Vaidhyar, was widely renowned for his knowledge of Ayurveda. His father, Sri T.K. Damodaran (Tachaparambil Krishnan Damodaran), carried the tradition forward through the practice of visha chikitsa — traditional toxicology treatment — which he offered on a purely charitable basis, never accepting fees from those who came to him for help.
Growing up in this environment, Dr. Bose absorbed the principles of Ayurvedic healing long before he entered formal education. The commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care that defined his grandfather and father became the foundation of his own practice.
Dr. Bose pursued his formal education at the Vaidyaratnam P.S. Varier Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, one of India's foremost institutions for classical Ayurvedic study, graduating with a B.A.M (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine).
After graduation, he had the opportunity to work alongside Padmasree Dr. Rajagopal (D.A.M., M.B.B.S., F.N.A.A.), who served as the Research Director of the Amala Cancer Research Center and Clinical Advisor of Kottakkal Arya Vaidyasala. This experience gave Dr. Bose exposure to rigorous research methodology and the integration of traditional Ayurvedic practice with modern medical understanding.
He further broadened his clinical experience at the Varkala Naturopathic Center, deepening his understanding of natural healing modalities and their applications in treating chronic conditions.
In 1998, Dr. Bose began training under Marmacharya Sri Sudheer Vaidhyar — a healer who had developed his own methods of treating patients through the ancient science of vital energy points. This training in Marma Chikitsa would become the defining chapter of Dr. Bose's career.
Dr. Bose is the only Ayurvedic physician who worked closely with Sri Sudheer Vaidhyar for over a decade, gaining deep, hands-on knowledge of marma point treatment that cannot be learned from textbooks alone. This extended apprenticeship gave him insights into the subtleties of diagnosing and treating conditions through the body's vital points — knowledge he now applies daily in his practice at Agasthya.
Drawing on his family heritage, formal training, and years of learning Marma Chikitsa, Dr. Bose founded Agasthya Ayurvedic Medical Centre in Ezhupunna, Alappuzha — building a hospital dedicated to treating the kinds of conditions that conventional medicine often addresses only through surgery or long-term medication.
He also served as a consultant at the Amrita School of Ayurveda for 7 years, contributing to the education of the next generation of Ayurvedic physicians while continuing to refine his clinical approach at Agasthya.
Today, Agasthya is an NABH-certified hospital that has treated over 10,000 patients — many of whom had been advised surgery elsewhere. Patients travel from across India and abroad, including the UAE, Canada, Belgium, and France, seeking Dr. Bose's specialized care.
Dr. Bose specializes in musculoskeletal and spinal conditions where Marma Chikitsa has shown consistent results, particularly in cases where patients have been advised surgery.
Chronic lower back pain, lumbar spondylosis, and sciatic nerve pain treated through targeted Marma therapy and supporting Panchakarma treatments.
Non-surgical treatment for disc bulge, disc prolapse, and herniated discs at L4-L5, L5-S1, and other levels. Many patients avoid surgery entirely.
Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and chronic joint inflammation treated with a combination of Marma Chikitsa and internal medicines.
Neck pain, stiffness, and radiating pain to shoulders and arms caused by degenerative changes in the cervical spine.
Recovery support for patients who have undergone spinal or joint surgery and need rehabilitation to restore mobility and reduce residual pain.
Muscle tears, ligament injuries, and sports-related joint damage treated through Marma therapy and therapeutic oil applications.
Every patient who comes to Dr. Bose receives individualized care. There is no one-size-fits-all protocol. Here is how he typically approaches a case:
Dr. Bose begins with a thorough consultation that includes traditional Nadi Pariksha (pulse diagnosis), review of medical reports and imaging (MRI, X-ray), and assessment of the patient's Prakriti (constitution), lifestyle, and symptom history.
Based on the assessment, a customized treatment plan is created specifying the exact combination of therapies, their duration (typically 7, 14, or 21 days), internal medicines, and dietary recommendations suited to the individual.
The core of treatment is Marma Chikitsa — targeted therapy on the body's vital energy points. This is combined with supporting Panchakarma treatments such as Pizhichil, Njavara Kizhi, Upanaham, Dhanyamla Dhara, and other therapies selected for each patient's specific condition.
Dr. Bose monitors each patient's progress throughout the treatment stay, adjusting therapies and medicines as the body responds. This close attention ensures the treatment evolves with the patient's healing.
