MY TRYST WITH AYURVEDA

It was a life changing moment, way back in 2000 when I decided to go in for Ayurveda treatment and went to consult Dr.Seshadri, a veteran in Ayurveda , at his residence inside the IMCOPS compound . I took a decision of my life as at that time, 20 years ago, there were sceptics around about the efficacy of this unique medical system vs the omnipresent allopathic system, favoured by many. My belief in the our own system got bolstered when Dr. Seshadri ushered me inside and started his consultation. The kindness and the soft way of communication and its content, for once instilled in me an overwhelming confidence in the system such that 20 years later, today, I continue to be treated the Ayurvedic way and by the same doctors, Dr. Seshadri and Dr. Vijaya Seshadri and now joined by their highly qualified daughter, Dr. Malavika.

Over a period of time for many an ailment, notably my Osteo Arthritis, I have successfully received treatment with care and concern from the doctors, converting me to living testimony highlighting the efficacy of the system and efficiency of doctors. Ayurveda is holistic and cures the roots of the problem instead of peripheral mollification. After his retirement, Dr. Seshadri founded his own organization, Visesh Ayurvedics in Lattice Bridge Road, Adyar and later shifted his clinic to Ram Nagar, Madippakkam.

The doctors have been extremely kind, courteous and humane and stand as symbols of the Indian way of Ayurveda treatment. The doctors by their behaviour provide half the cure and the balance is by treatment. It has been wonderful to think that never in the 20 years, I was ever forced to think of an alternative medicinal system, this time the Big Brother, and I had all clinical solutions in Ayurveda itself. Their clinic also has facilities for scientific massaging,. For me ,Ayurveda had come to stay, so may say many other patients of the doctors.

I had two experiences with ViseshAyurvedics. First, when my gastroenterologist couldn’t help me after innumerable tests, tired of medicines and guess work, I went to this clinic and miraculously years old colitis got resolved in one month and I was given simple instructions to follow in diet. I was really impressed.

Secondly, two years back, I had terrible pain in joints and could barely walk. Again I hopped from one allopathic doctor to the other but to no avail. I was even told by doctors that there is ‘no disease’ after four months of heavy medication and spending a lot of money on MRIs and consultancy. I felt miserable as the condition worsened without painkillers and nerve-relaxants. With a 2 year old to raise, I could not accept my condition and approached Dr. Seshadri once again. 

I was explained the problem in detail, was given counselling on diet and lifestyle. I was given massages for fifteen days with medicated oils; and within a month, I was at least able to walk within my house. The medicines worked wonders for me, though with severe type of arthritis, I had to take them for a long period but within 4-5 months, I was doing all the activities like a normal person. Detailed discussions, counselling, and constant support was very helpful in tough times. Not just the doctors, even the lady who did massage was exceptionally knowledgeable and did amazing job. I highly recommend this clinic and their services. 

We visited ViseshAyurvedics clinic for our fertility treatment. Myself and my husband felt more comfortable with Dr. Malavika Seshadri & her father Dr.Seshadri.

They were friendly and took complete care of our treatment and constantly monitored the improvement at every stage very professionally. Dr. Mala was very open about tests and communicated us on treatment plan. In fact other gynaecologists with reputed background whom we consulted gave us less chance of conceiving but Dr.Mala was very confident from day one. 

By God’s grace and Dr.Mala’s expertise ,our treatment was successful. We are indebted to them for this lifetime as we are living happily with our 2 year old angel.Thanks to Mala for giving us a new life. God bless them for all success in their endeavours!

I am L. Ganapathy Subramanian working as Senior Counselor in an MNC. My profession is completely full of travel . I had severe stomach ulcer with piles after taking lots of allopathic medicines, was not able to getcured for two years and got fed up with it. Then finally went to Visesh Ayurvedics and met Dr.Seshadri and he gave me medicines which has given me a cure. My general health also improved. I keep learning yoga from Dr. Malavika Seshadri, daughter of Dr.Seshadri and another chronic issue of sinus problem also reduced.My official performance also improved a lot as General Health has improved. These Doctors are very skilful in diagnosis of problem and recommending right medicines. They are very sincere, professional, service oriented. I would love to recommend all my friends to get the best benefit out of their services and medicines.

Myself Rajalakshmi and my husband Ramakrishnan decided to start a family back in 2015; after a couple of miscarriages, I was told by many, including doctors to opt for fertility treatments/interventions – I wasn’t ready to give in! lucky was I to meet her. I could connect with her immediately, she sounded positive, warm and compassionate (those that are rare these days). She was very practical and systematic in her treatment procedures; lot of clarity is in her approach; at each stage she explained her methodology and medicines in detail. I always had lot of questions and doubts, which she patiently addressed. I still remember the day I saw those two beautiful lines on the pregnancy detection strip, and as I told her, she was so rejoiced as much as we were. Her support continued throughout my pregnancy and delivery, from suggesting a good obstetrician/ gynaecologist, explaining the pregnancy phases and delivery, teaching me various yoga postures and breathing techniques that aided my delivery well. Today we are proud parents; blessed with a baby boy this January 2020. She extended her support with the same care even through the lockdown situation that happened right after child birth.

We owe this precious journey of parenthood to her sole dedication and utmost concern while treating us. Our family is sure to continue the association with Dr Malavika like with her father earlier.

I know Visesh Clinic for the past 13years. Initially I went to the clinic because of the hypertension and heart palpitation issue that I had. Dr. Seshadri examined my Blood Pressure and pulse rate and prescribed medicines. Within 10 days there was an improvement in my health. From then for any heath issues I preferred consulting Visesh Clinic. Dr Seshadri is a courteous and soft spoken person. He will patiently hear the patient’s complaints and do a thorough examination. I came to know his daughter Dr. Mrs Malavika two years back. She too was courteous like her father, examined me thoroughly and gave apt medicines. Overall it is very good clinic and the patient will feel better because of the clinic’s ambience only.

I went to consult with Dr. Malavika Seshadri in October last year for a pranayama class after I saw how well she showed my 81 year old mother yoga exercises to improve the arthritic condition of her joints. Dr. Malavika guided me through the pranayama steps in a thorough manner patiently answering my various questions. I proceeded to consult her for ayurvedic treatment for my gastritis and recurring urinary tract infection. She put me on a course of treatment which I took for a couple of months and feel these conditions are now under control, thanks to her treatment. Dr. Malavika always responds promptly to my follow up questions and doubts with clear explanations. I have found her to be an extremely knowledgeable, professional and caring physician who I would recommend to anyone wholeheartedly!

Similarly, my mother Mrs. Lakshmi Rangaswami also has high praise for Dr. Malavika as well as her father Dr. V.R. Seshadri whom she has consulted with and under whose care she has been taking Ayurvedic treatment for her arthritis. She often says she is extremely thankful that thanks to both Drs. Seshadri she is able to manage her house work on her own now during these pandemic times, without pain. Thank you both!

 

ViseshAyurvedics is one of the best Ayurvedic clinic in the whole city without fancy and commercial branding, where the entire family provides a great and compassionate service to people with a lot of medical complications that can be treated using Ayurveda. My personal experience is that even prolonged psychological complications can be controlled and contained using Ayurveda Mental strengthening medicines with no side effects to substantially reduce the intake of Allopathy anti-depressants. Thanks for the patience and paying attention to the issues in detail and providing excellent service and cure.
