History and Tradition

History of Nelliakkattu Mana

Nelliakattu Mana is a revered traditional Vaidya family that traces its roots from the northern regions of Kerala, India, to the heart of Kerala in Koothattukulam. Recognized as the "Desavaidya" (Regional Vaidya family) in the 12th century by the regional ruler, the Nelliakattu Vaidya family specialized in Netra Chikitsa (eye treatment) and Visha Chikitsa (poison treatment). By the 18th century, the family ceased practices of Visha Chikithsa, dedicating their expertise solely to Nethra Chikithsa.

During the early 19th century, Vaidya Valiya Narayanan Namboothiri, a prominent member of the family, passed on his knowledge to his son, Vaidya Thrivikraman Namboothiri. After comprehensive training in Ayurveda and Ayurvedic eyecare under Vaidya Madham Sreedharan Nambooothiri, Vaidya Thrivikraman Namboothiri assumed the role of Pradhana Vaidya, leading Nelliakattu Mana into a new era of healing.

A Vision Realized

In 1931, on the sacred day of Vijayadasami, Vaidya Thrivikraman Namboothiri and his brother, Vaidya Parameswaran Namboothiri, laid the cornerstone of Sreedhareeyam. The institution was named in honor of their guru, Vaidya Sreedharan Namboothiri. Sreedhareeyam began its journey humbly, with Vaidya Thrivikraman Namboothiri providing Ayurveda Ophthalmology services at the ancestral home of Nelliakattu Mana. Simultaneously, Vaidya Parameswaran Namboothiri focused on preparing high-quality Ayurvedic medicines to complement the clinical care.

Sreedhareeyam's Transformation into a Comprehensive Eye Hospital and Research Center

Following a period of slow progress, in 1988, Sreedhareeyam's activities were halted, including the manufacturing of Ayurvedic medicines and traditional practices at the Nelliakattu Mana home. However, in 1999, on the auspicious occasion of Vijayadasami, Dr. NPP Namboothiri, the family's Pradhana Vaidya, and his elder brother, N.P Narayanan Namboothiri, resolved to revive their parents' dream. Sreedhareeyam was reborn as a full-fledged Eye Hospital and Research Center, blending ancient wisdom with modern medical practices and diagnostic technology. Since that point, Sreedhareeyam Ayurvedic Eye Hospital  has been treating  patients from all over the world with all imaginable eye ailments. Today, Sreedhareeyam houses over 150 doctors who are professionally qualified in ophthalmology and their knowledge is amplified by the repository of vast traditional knowledge of Nelliakkattu Mana.
