Eco Friendly
Eco-Friendly Concepts – To give back more than we take
We at Madukkakuzhy Ayurveda constantly strive to protect the mother nature.
Madukkakuzhy Ayurveda gains a lot from mother nature as she plays an important part in our Ayurvedic healing. We are giving back to mother nature by implementing Eco-friendly concepts at our campus. We implement green living practices that helps us to conserve resources like water, air, land and energy. We at Madukkakuzhy believe that Eco-friendly practices can keep both environment and humans safe, for now and in the future.
Organic Farming
Towards achieving the goal of Organic farming, we use 100% organic manures in our garden to produce different varieties of Banana, Papaya, Tapioca, Yam, Turmeric, Ginger, Pepper, Cardamom etc and thus leading to a healthy and resilient people and ecosystem.
Rainwater Harvesting
We implemented rainwater harvesting in our campus in the year 2000. The rainwater harvesting tank has a capacity of 275,000 litres and it’s used 3 times/year. Rainwater harvesting helps us to save the precious resource that is fast depleting in India.
Ayurveda Plantation
Towards achieving the goal of Organic farming, we use 100% organic manures in our garden to produce different varieties of Banana, Papaya, Tapioca, Yam, Turmeric, Ginger, Pepper, Cardamom etc and thus leading to a healthy and resilient people and ecosystem.
Biogas
Waste management is another important area where we implement our Eco-friendly concepts. The biogas plant was implemented in the year 2011 and it helps us to convert our kitchen solid waste into cooking gas (up to 6 hours a day x 1 stove is using this) & the solid waste is also used as an organic fertilizer in our farm and Ayurveda plantation.
No to plastic
We use plastic as less as possible. We use paper bags, linen bags instead of plastic bags, and we use large water containers instead of bottled water as steps to reach our goal of “no to plastic”.
Wind Energy
Exhaust system of our Pharmacy and Yoga hall are 100% Wind energy-dependent and thus contribute to saving energy.
Solar Energy
Hot water systems are solar-powered since 2008. This helps us save electricity and instead use the richest energy source the “Sun”. We have set a goal of converting our campus to a 100% solar-powered campus by 2020.

We join the recycling community with small steps by reusing the news paper for paper bags, envelope and by using reusable medicine bottles.
