Our Story

The beginning is always from the roots

A journey with his mother to his ancestral home in the quaint town of Vallapad in Kerala, to pay respects to their forefather, Cholayil Kunju Maami Vaidyar, stirred the beginning of Sadhev for Lasakan Cholayil.

Renowned for his unconventional healing techniques during his time, Vaidyar was regarded as the doyen of Ayurveda for having created countless miraculous treatments and exceptional cures.

200 years later, a sunny afternoon walk in his ancestral hometown, by the meandering blue streams across the endless coconut groves sparked the idea of bringing the secrets and science of his forefather’s Ayurvedic experience for the modern connoisseur of today.

Lasakan’s flame grew brighter as he continued to fuel his ignited passion with a desire to bring to this world of noise, chaos, chemicals and plastics a solution from ancient wisdom that would restore perfect inner balance and enchanting outer beauty.

Lasakan and his mother Jayadevi Cholayil launched Sadhev, a stirring curation of exotic beauty and wellness treatments in 2019. The luxury Ayurvedic care blissfully blends the science of wellness with the art of Ayurveda to create an inextricable symphony of the body, mind and soul.

Products from Sadhev are infused with precious insights from traditional Ayurveda, delicately blended with pure ingredients, sourced responsibly and carefully from Sadhev’s own 80 acre sustainably grown organic sanctuary- Sadhevana in South India.
