Editors Note: Soukya-Dr Mathai's International Holistic Health Centre: Soukya International provides effective treatments that combine modern science with traditional health systems at its residential retreat. With the comforts of urban lifestyle come its contingent health problems due to pollution, work stress and detrimental habits like smoking. Soukya, literally meaning well-being, offers a range of wellness packages that merge the best of technology and traditional health systems from Homoeopathy to Ayurveda. Examples include Shudha, which detoxifies the body with mudpacks and naturopathic hydrowashes over 50 sittings; and Shareera, a combination of yoga, diet and special Ayurvedic weight loss treatments to keep calories in check.
