AYURVEDA AND OUR TREATMENT

Ayurveda, which literally means ‘Science of life’, is the traditional healing science of India. It emphasizes on preventing and curing diseases by identifying and eliminating their root cause. This ensures permanent relief to even chronic ailments. Ayurvedic therapies and treatments involve various facets like medicines prepared from herbs, diet, yoga, meditation and lifestyle counselling. At Sankunni’s Ayurvedic Clinic we customize every treatment program for the specific needs of our patients. It is devised based on their body constitution and findings from the examination of their ‘nadi’. We do not follow a ‘one size fits all’ approach to our treatments. All medicines, oils, etc. required for therapies are prepared in-house at Sankunni’s.

The clinic also helps patients with controlling obesity, improving overall immunity, detoxification and rejuvenation.
