Bring all the necessary medications including the allopathic medicines that you are currently using to last you through the period you are here as we will not drastically stop your medicines.
Bring simple, comfortable and modest clothing (based on the season that you are here); it might be best to bring some old clothing which can be discarded if necessary after the treatment as the cloths you wear might get the strong smell of oils .Visit http://www.sdjayurvedalaya.com/AbouttheLocation.aspx to get an idea about the climate in our locality

Additional point

Since the treatments are primarily oil based, there is a slight possibility for mild oil stains or smell remaining on the bed sheets , pillow covers and towels even after going through the laundry.
In the laundry, the sheets and pillow covers are laundered in the industrial washing machines with bio degradable chemicals.
In case you are not comfortable using these common sheets and pillow covers, please feel free to carry with you three sets of sheets, towels and pillow covers which will be used exclusively for you.
Though we provide towels, it is better you have your towels preferably thin ones as the usage of towels are more.
You will have to carry some medicines weighing around 3 to 5 kilograms approximately to continue after discharge and please make sure to have room in your baggage.
We request you to download the registration form and hand it over on your arrival in the reception or to the person who first meets you here in the hospital.
