I went in Somatheeram ayurveda center in May 2023, during when I lived an unforgettable experience. Ayurveda is a natural medicine that we ought all try at least one time in Life. And particularly in Somatheeram center. Indeed Doctors and therapists are very attentive, all the staff is very proactive, supportive and so kind! And finally, the place is heavenly. Today I would like to thank the Director and his manager; Mr Sujesh. And to all of you who read me, don’t hesitate ; GO THERE!!!
