Āyurveda Testimonial 2023

My Āyurveda journey in India – a new chapter of life

I went through a very difficult period in my life, marked by a serious health diagnosis and many decisions to make. It was in this context that I came across Manuela, a specialized guide for people wishing to access the world of Āyurveda. From the very start, the way my request was handled impressed me. Instead of immediately promising anything, I was asked to send the necessary documents so they could be reviewed. A few days later, I was told I could come. So, at the beginning of 2023, I set off for India to the clinic.
On my arrival, Manuela of Ayur Sattvic was waiting for me, and an exciting six-week journey began. Manuela accompanied me throughout my stay. She knew exactly when I needed support and when it was better for me to be alone with myself. This surprised me and did me a great deal of good. During my stay at this clinic, I discovered a completely new approach to care. Every day, the approach was discussed and tailored to me specifically. I had never experienced anything like it before. The doctors would even come by on weekends. This holistic support also included conversations. Many things became clear to me during this time. When I returned home, I had completely transformed my life.
Manuela's work is excellent — her thoughtful insights always came at just the right moment. Thanks to her, communication was never a problem for me, as she was present during consultations.
For me, this was support of immeasurable value, both humanly and in my personal journey. I am so grateful I took this step.

THANK YOU, dear Manuela, thank you to the doctors, thank you to the rest of the clinic staff.

Follow-up after my second Āyurveda treatment

After completing my second treatment course, from the end of November 2023 to mid-January 2024, I would like to share my experience.
Both of my hand joints are affected by osteophytes related to degenerative changes.
The treatment went very well, with a noticeable improvement in my mobility and a significant reduction in discomfort. The two-month programme, including massages, rest, yoga and meditation, was deeply beneficial for both body and mind.
After returning to France, I resumed work shortly afterwards. As a decorative painter, my hands are essential in my daily life. Despite continued physical activity, I felt strong and well.
Some minor discomforts appeared occasionally, but I learned the importance of listening to my body and allowing myself regular rest.
My physical and mental state improved greatly, and I feel that my body responded positively to the whole process.

Thank you to everyone involved in my care.

My Āyurveda experience

In November 2022, I initially wanted to discover what an Āyurvedic treatment could offer over two or three weeks.
After several operations due to sports injuries and accidents, I had reached a point where conventional approaches in Germany could offer me little beyond managing pain. Long-term medication was not a solution I wanted.
I was fortunate to know Manuela. Through many conversations beforehand, she helped me understand the process and gave me the confidence to approach Āyurveda with an open mind.
Originally, I planned a short stay before travelling through India and Nepal. However, through my conversations with the doctors and Manuela, the three weeks gradually became three months.
Looking back, I am very grateful that I made this decision.
My medical history is extensive, but I would like to mention two aspects. After the treatment, I experienced a major improvement in my knee problems following several previous operations, and my long-standing headaches also improved considerably.
After completing the treatment, I travelled through India and Nepal, including reaching Thorong La Pass at 5,416 metres — something I do not believe I could have done before this experience.

Today, years later, I continue to feel very well.
I am deeply grateful to Ayur Sattvic, the doctors, therapists and the entire team for their care and dedication.

Thank you.
