Transcript of the video above.

Hi, my name is Sakthi. I am a software engineer. I had already come here to AVN for some of my health issues. There was shortness of breath, and then sinusitis, and then a slight joint pain had begun. So for these two or three problems I have already been coming and being seen. I live here in Madurai itself. I consulted Dr. Biju sir two or three times. Then he gave medicine. It recovered well. Then he was the one who recommended it. He recommended that if I came here and took therapy it would be better still. All right, I said, and I planned it. I told my office I was taking leave and came here. The admission process is very simple. It is enough if you call that team. They themselves tell you to come on a particular day. First a Covid test has to be taken. You have to come a day earlier and take a Covid test. That clears in about half a day or one day. After it clears they tell you to come. Then, as soon as the time comes, after you make the initial payment they allot you a room. There were all categories to suit each person. So I took the private one that suited me, for it to be right. As soon as I came in, I did not know how it would be cured with medicine. I had been getting cured with the medicine. But they said that if I came in there would be a good fast recovery. But I saw that on the very first day. On the very first day they did what they call Shirodhara, a part of the treatment in Panchakarma. It was only after they did that that nearly 50% of all my problems felt as though they had healed. I said so to sir too. He continued it after that. Four or five methods like that in Panchakarma, and then therapies of this kind, they continued; there is a session twice, morning and evening. After continuing this, every single time, every day, a good improvement showed. Now it feels as though I have nearly fully recovered. And then, on the treatment side, I have beenconsulting Dr. Biju sir. So he is a genius of Ayurveda. He changes my whole schedule correctly and dynamically. Because, depending on the patient's condition, they do not keep anything static. Depending on how the patient's condition improves and what is needed, they themselves change it each time. According to what is needed they keep changing it dynamically. If I am to speak about Dr. Biju sir, I consult that doctor with my family; I consult for myself, for my wife, for my kids, for everyone. So he almost guesses just by looking, and as soon as you have said what the problem is he already knows; he gives the correct medicine, and likewise at the correct intervals he asks for feedback and changes it to suit. Likewise all the questions he asks are correct, crisp and straight; he says exactly what is needed and does it. Not with a lot of going round in circles. So just seeing him gives you a feeling of having recovered a little. To that extent he is a reasonably authentic and good, genius doctor. And then another thing is that if you come and see here you will know. At this AVN, its landscape, its buildings, its green side — so maybe about 50 acres, I think. But this is like a big rejuvenation centre; even if you have no problem it feels as though you could stay a week. They have established everything that well. And then the food, to say it truly, is actually very homely food. It helps healing us better, because at home we eat whatever we see. Here it is nicely tasty, and at the same time it is homely food. They give it in measure, and it is really good. Likewise they do not allow any food at all from outside. Likewise we do not go out either. There is a good area for walking inside; it is like a good park, there is a lot of space inside, and then the rooms are all spacious, and then another important thing to mention is their staffing. Actually their staff, from thenursing station, and then the hospitality team, the cleaning team, all of it — all of it runs exactly like a big corporate. You can hardly find fault with anything. That is how it is. So because all of that assists you, you do not have to think about yourself. You can rest and then they will treat you. Like that, we even just take our tablets. To that extent they have automated everything. They look after everything. So that aspect was really good. So everyone treats you well. A good thing. They put on plenty of staff and look after everyone well. So now I am being discharged, and it feels as though I have nearly fully recovered. One could even come simply to rejuvenate; it is that good.
