Wayanad is Kerala's hill district, its Western Ghats and Deccan-plateau-facing terrain hosting some of the state's richest herbal biodiversity. The district also carries a living tribal medicine tradition — communities such as the Kattunayakan and Paniya hold generations of herbal knowledge that has long informed and complemented formal Ayurveda practice.
AMAI's Wayanad branch serves the district's Ayurveda physician community, which is growing alongside Wayanad's emerging wellness-tourism sector.
