Vaidya Sebin has also served for years in Ayurvedic medical education and has led many Panchakarma Technician training programs. He spent more than seven years training and practicing at Sreedhareeyam Ayurvedic Eye Hospital in Kerala, India, with additional expertise in Shalakya Tantra, the Ayurvedic specialty concerned with the head, eyes, ears, nose and throat.
At Samya Spa, Vaidya Sebin provides Ayurvedic consultations, offering individualized assessment, lifestyle and dietary guidance, and recommendations for Ayurvedic therapies where appropriate. His advanced background in Panchakarma also brings an important level of clinical expertise to treatment planning involving the traditional therapies offered at Samya Spa.
