Vallathol was honored with titles like Mahakavi (Great Poet), Asthana kavi (Poet Laureate), Kavithilaka (Leading Poet) and Kavi Sarvabauman (King of Poets). He made great efforts and achieved remarkable results in the cause of preserving the true national culture of his country India. He was immensely influenced by epics like Ramayana and Gita. Vallathol was known as Kerala Valmiki after he translated Valmiki Ramayana from Sanskrit to Malayalam. His translations of Sanskrit classics of Kalidasa resurrected those master pieces for the contemporary readers. Many of his lyrics throb and glow with his ardent love and devotion for his motherland. He was indeed three poets rolled into one – classicist, nationalist and progressist.

He has written many books related to Ayurveda.

ആരോഗ്യ ചിന്താമണി, ഗർഭ രക്ഷാ ക്രമം, നേത്രാമൃതം, ബാല ചികിത്സ are some of the books among them. Up to 25 years he worked as an Ayurvedic physician also.
