Soukya International Holistic Centre in Bangalore, has introduced their new venture Sahaya, an inpatient facility which uses plant extracts and herbs from the Soukya medical garden to prepare oils and medicines required for treatment.

It is important to provide a positive, healing environment to the patient for the treatment to be effective. We are now reintroducing that age-old tradition through Sahaya.”
Dr Issac Mathai and his wife: integrating healing practice They combine the established traditional healing methods with modern medicine to offer patients integrative health care.
