Success Stories

Blood Sugar

"I met Dr. Soumya at her informative presentation at the Fremont Library. She was very detailed in taking my physical, and mental history. She was very careful in not overwhelming me with too much information all at once. The Ayurveda diet was perfect for my situation and I felt healthier once incorporating the changes in my diet. My blood sugar level started going down. Dr. Soumya is very patient and understanding."

Gastrointestinal Issues

"I had symptoms of bloating, heaviness, burping, loss of appetite and loss of sleep. Dr. Soumya started me with some ayurvedic herbs and then did a detoxification therapy on me. The detoxification has made me feel lighter than before, more active and I feel my energy level has gone up. I also do not have the symptoms of bloating or burping anymore."
