Dr.Franklin Panchakarma center is a best Ayurveda hospital in Kerala and its offers all ayurvedic treatments and therapies like Panchakarma, Weightloss treatments etc. It offers classy accommodation facilities and is also a very good health resort.

Bought the glasses which took 3 weeks to arrive. I didn't like them so I returned them. A month after postage I have revived an email saying I am (finally)being refunded. No money in my account and being told it can take up to 10 days. Terrible at replying to emails. Do not buy from this company. Awful is the nicest word I can use to describe their customer service.

The origin of Dr. Franklin's Panchakarma Centre has been traced back up to 400 years where the forefathers of Dr. Franklin had been serving the natives with Ayurvedic medication. Dr. Franklin was born and brought up in this traditional Ayurvedic medical family. Academically qualified by completing degree and post graduate degree in the similar field, Dr.Franklin had been recruited by the Kerala Government and worked up to the post of Chief District Medical Officer.

Returning to India Dr.Franklin started an Ayurveda centre at Hotel Neptune in 1980. Domestic and international tourists experienced the healing touch of Ayurveda and its preventive and rejuvenating effects.
The dream for an exclusive Ayurveda centre has been accomplished by inaugurating "Dr. Franklin's Panchakarma Institute & Research Centre" in 1997 at Chowara. This centre is registered as 'Ribis Health Care Pvt Ltd' as per the Indian Company Act.

"Have a Great Day"

I ordered 2 sunglasses in July and I had to wait 2 MONTHS (!!!) till they arrived. Unfortunately this was way to late to use them in the summer holidays. During these two months we tried to contact the customer service and (of course) we had to wait a really long time for a response and at a certain moment they didn’t answer anymore. On top of that, one of the glasses was fully damaged. Besides all of this, the sunglasses look fine.
