Ayurvedic Clinic & Ayurveda Treatment
in Dubai – Jumeirah 1

Yes. Ayurveda is a licensed traditional and complementary medicine in Dubai, regulated by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA). At RamaCare Polyclinic (DHA licence 2036418) in Jumeirah 1, every patient is assessed by a DHA-licensed BAMS doctor, and therapies are given by DHA-licensed therapists.

Your consultation is with Dr. Shamna Keloth Meethal, a DHA-licensed Ayurveda doctor with a BAMS degree and 11+ years of experience. Therapies are given by Kerala-trained therapists: Syamkumar Sasidharan (17+ years) for men and Mariya Thayyil Muhammed (14+ years in the UAE) for women.

Yes. Male patients are treated by a male therapist and female patients by a female therapist, for every Ayurvedic massage and therapy.

Dr. Shamna, Syamkumar and Mariya all speak English, Malayalam and Hindi. Other clinic staff also speak Arabic and Tagalog.

Dr. Shamna reviews your health history, current medicines and lifestyle, then assesses your constitution (Prakriti) and current imbalance. You leave with a written plan covering diet, routine, any herbal medicines, and whether therapies such as Abhyanga, Kizhi or Panchakarma suit you.

Ayurvedic consultation, Panchakarma, Abhyanga (therapeutic Kerala massage), Kizhi, Njavarakizhi, Pizhichil, Udwarthanam, Shirodhara, Nasya, Basti and herbal steam. Therapies are prescribed after the doctor's assessment.

At RamaCare, a 45–60 minute first consultation with Dr. Shamna costs AED 200 and includes a Prakriti assessment and a written plan. Therapy cost depends on the number of sessions, medicines and programme length, and is confirmed in writing before treatment starts.

It depends on your policy; many plans treat Ayurveda as complementary care. RamaCare works on a reimbursement basis and provides itemised invoices and reports for you to submit to your insurer.

Often yes, but only under supervision. Never stop prescribed medicine on your own. Bring all your medicines to the consultation; as a polyclinic, RamaCare can coordinate between the Ayurveda doctor and our general physician when needed.

Like any treatment, Ayurvedic medicines and therapies can cause reactions in some people, which is why a doctor's assessment comes first. Tell the doctor about allergies, pregnancy and existing conditions, and your plan is adjusted accordingly.

Panchakarma is Ayurveda's classical cleansing programme: preparatory oil therapies followed by one or more cleansing procedures. At RamaCare it usually runs 7–21 days, depending on your assessment. It is not suitable for everyone; the doctor decides first.

No. At RamaCare, Kerala Ayurvedic massage is a therapeutic massage given in a DHA-licensed clinic, given after a doctor's consultation with medicated oils chosen for you. It is typically used for muscle stiffness, back and neck tension or stress, as part of a care plan.

Your Prakriti is assessed at the first consultation through questions about your body, digestion, sleep and temperament, together with an examination. Online quizzes give a rough idea, but the doctor's assessment is what guides your treatment.

Ayurveda is a traditional Indian system that uses diet, routine, herbal medicines and body therapies such as oil treatments. Homeopathy is a separate system based on highly diluted remedies. RamaCare offers Ayurveda, not homeopathy.

Tell the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a fever, a heart condition, uncontrolled blood pressure or diabetes, or are recovering from surgery. Some therapies are adapted or postponed in these cases.
