SOUKYA - Dr. Mathai's International Holistic Health Centre

1. How is SOUKYA different from spas, healing centers and resorts around the world?

SOUKYA is a one-of-its-kind residential, integrative medical facility in the world, where curative and rejuvenative treatments are done using a holistic approach.
Instead of treating just specific conditions or symptoms, an individual is treated as a whole. Our doctors prescribe medications and treatment procedures based on an individual’s need and when required, doctors from different systems of medicine monitor the progress.
In specific cases, Consultants from any other medical stream are called in as required, and treatments are done in consultation with them.

2. What are the different systems of medicine followed, and complementary therapies available?

At SOUKYA we practice Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Naturopathy, and Yoga among others.
Complementary therapies we provide include Acupuncture, Reflexology, Acupressure and several kinds of therapeutic massages. (Click here for more information)

3. What are the Health Programmes available?

Wellness Packages address Stress Management, Rejuvenation & Detoxification, anti-ageing, destress, Panchakarma etc. (check Our health packages) Though they are packages, they are customized for each person.

4. What are the Medical Programmes available at SOUKYA?

Medical Programmes are designed for almost any condition (check Medical Programme page). Before any treatment program is designed, SOUKYA’s protocol starts with a pre-arrival consultation where we let you know what can be done, and how long a treatment procedure may take.
Once you arrive, there will be a detailed Holistic Health Evaluation with our doctor (this may go on for about 1½ hours), and only will an appropriate and suitable treatment programme be designed.

5. Are there any non-residential packages?

No, as travelling during treatments leads to symptoms such as headache, body pain, fever, cold, sleeplessness etc. When one takes treatments as OP, the effects are totally nullified. Hence, we do not encourage it.

6. What are the facilities available?

SOUKYA is nestled on a 30-acre certified organic farm and our facilities are built to promote wellness of mind, body and spirit. There are 25 spacious rooms with attached gardens. The therapy centre has separate male and female areas that mirror each other for privacy. The fruits and vegetables grown in our organic farm are used in the Dining and we grow over 130 varieties of ayurvedic, herbal and aromatic plants in our organic medicinal garden that provides about 80% of the ingredients for the in-house production of high quality, ayurvedic oils and medicines supervised by Ayurvedic doctors. The other facilities include Yoga hall, 2.2km walking track, library, swimming pool, indoor games, cycling etc.

7. Why isn’t there a gym at SOUKYA in spite of it being a health centre?

When one undergoes the treatments, the muscles and joints become very sensitive. Any over stretch could cause injury to the muscles and joints. This is particularly the case with the gym, and hence we have not incorporated it here.

8. Do you have any other centres?

No, but we do have our sister concern SAHAYA with similar treatments at a much lesser cost which caters to the common masses. We also have a clinic in the city.

9. We are not sure which package we should sign up for?

You could decide on the treatments once you are in SOUKYA and after meeting with the doctors.

10. Could you customise packages for lesser number of days?

Yes, we can.
