Who this house is for
Someone who wants an Ayurvedic or naturopathic programme built around doctor consultations, at a rupee rate readable before enquiring, or physiotherapy alongside Ayurveda. Not for anyone who must see a clinician’s qualification before booking, or who wants alcohol, non-vegetarian food, tobacco or a pet — guidelines.php rules out all four.
The signature
