 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a skin rash on my leg for a long time and used different steroid creams and prescribed oral medicines, none of which worked. I was suffering for a long time. After I came to the Ayurveda clinic, Dr. Sumudu Perera treated me with herbal medicine, and I finally got better. You have to ensure you follow the doctor's instructions, and with patience, you will feel better and be cured. I highly recommend The Ayurvedic clinic for any concerns you may have. Not only do they provide clean and natural remedies the whole atmosphere in the clinic is tranquil and supportive

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a 3 day panchakarma treatment to help with inflammation from a severe allergy and some stress build up. Every stage of the process was easy, friendly and the treatments were incredible.

I feel renewed, my body and mins feel lighter and i have a lot more energy.

Thank you very much ☺️

Followed by a meeting with the expertise of Dr. Sumudu, before going to 3 h Ayurvedic magic with Dr. Chathuni. The holistic experience was transformational. Looking forwards to doing it all over again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an online consultation and my experience was okay. I met with the Dr, the appointment felt rushed and didn't go into depth. There was very little education on ayuverda.  I was told that I needed to follow a nutrition sheet which was a bit complicated it would have been better to get a daily or weekly meal plan. I did have to chase the meal plan as it wasn't sent on the same day.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Where can I begin? I used to live in constant pain every single day due to my back condition. I relied on a walking stick just to get around, and even simple movements were a struggle. Today, I’m moving like a normal person again—and it’s all thanks to the incredible team here.

From the very first visit, I was met with professionalism and genuine care. The receptionists, the doctors, everyone made me feel seen, heard, and supported. They didn’t just treat my symptoms, they focused on my overall wellbeing.

My treatment plan was comprehensive. I was prescribed medicine that worked like magic, though it took some time, around the second month is when I began to notice a real difference. Along with that, my diet was adjusted to reduce inflammation, I attended pain management sessions, and I also underwent Panchakarma therapy. Each element played a role in my recovery and continues to support my health.

I still attend monthly sessions because they help keep my whole body balanced and healthy. This isn't just a clinic—it's a place where healing truly happens.

If you're suffering and unsure of the next step, I can’t recommend this place enough. With commitment, trust, and the support of this amazing team, it is possible to feel whole again.

Thank you,

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I do not know where to start,  from the amazing and warm hearted team, to the efficiently of how they work and the knowledge they hold it's outstanding.

I have done so many therapies and some have worked for some problems but one thing I could not heal was fatigue and as a result this lead to mental health issues  migraines, a list of issues.
Nightmare and dreams every night I was exhausted from no quality sleep.

Within a few days my sleep has massively improved and the nightmares so far over the month reduced to 1. I remember 1 dream a night and don't wake up like I've been on a night shift. I wake up much easier and not so much of  a light sleeper.

By 11pm on some days and always by 2pm I would be exhausted and struggling to go on the school run. I struggled to get jobs completed due to the tiredness and forget to do things due to the same thing.
Now I have energy all day until I go to bed. I'm more productive and living my life instead of surviving it.

Thank you to all the team and students who have changed my life . Much love and gratitude 🙏
