An individualistic approach to treatment — combining modern medical care, nutrition, physiotherapy and mind-body practice, in a quiet, green setting near Kottayam.
Founded in 2000 by Mr. A J John & Mrs. Mary John — social workers with fifteen years of international experience in health care — with a vision to provide holistic health and help patients live a drug‑free life.
A seven-member Charitable Trust, made up of doctors, engineers, medical staff, teachers and social workers, now carries the centre forward. Every patient is treated as an individual, receiving a combination of Allopathic, Ayurvedic and Siddha care alongside Agnihotra, yoga and meditation — whatever their own health calls for.
Care is built around the whole person — never a fixed protocol.
Two decades of holistic practice, senior Allopathic and Ayurvedic physicians, and a plan built around you rather than a protocol.

Every patient is met with the same care and attention, whatever treatment their health calls for.
