What you see – Quality and not the manifestation of it seems to allure people towards Sanjeevini. For simplicity rules at this two-storied yoga and nature cure centre. It comes without modish interiors nor is it in a plush locale. But what strikes you the most is that you don’t see clients (mostly middle-aged men and women) complaining either.
A lanky Dr. Madhu Babu (who looks much younger than he actually is) also comes to your notice here. He is the director of Sanjeevini and seems to speak to the point. No nonsense and tactful is what he is. So even while he directs you to the consultation room during your first visit, he ensures that the ongoing yoga class continues smoothly as well.
When we entered Sanjeevini’s modest consultation room, we were in for a surprise. Apart from the doctor’s photos (poses in various asanas), we spotted snaps of Andhra Pradesh’s chief minister, Y S Rajasekhara Reddy. Apparently Dr. Reddy’s personal trainer is Dr. Madhu Babu.
A gold medalist in naturopathy, Dr. Madhu (with over 10 years of experience) has a host of degrees to his credit from the Gandhi Nature Cure College. He has a team of eight doctors trained in naturopathy and allopathy working with him at Sanjeevini, which was started in 1999.
What you get – The treatment that you get here is basically a nature cure one but when it comes to obesity, they have combined it with allopathic medication. Treatment is provided for neck, knee and back pain, diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, gastric, intestinal, urinary and menstrual problems, allergies, psoriasis, paralysis, migraine and giddiness. The patients have to undergo a strict regimen across multiple sittings and are even asked to continue with the same later on.
Color therapy, Acupressure, acupuncture, chiropractic manipulations, osteopathy, hydrotherapy, yoga, pranayama and meditation, aerobics, pre and post natal exercises and memory power increasing techniques are the other methods of treatment that are followed here.
As far as the facilities and fees are concerned, they differ based on whether you go for air-conditioned or non air-conditioned rooms or even the executive VIP section. The packages, nonetheless, range between Rs. 300 and Rs. 9,000.
Sanjeevini also sells food supplements like barley powder, soya malt, herbal tea powder, magneto therapy related products, brown rice, aroma oil and powders, massage creams, VCDs for general yoga, diabetes, obesity etc., apart from audio CDs and cassettes for weight reduction and charka meditation. It also has an in-patient facility.
Our verdict – Well, we did see quite a number of people visiting the place. But then one has to get treated here to validate whether this place is worth your time and cost. Nonetheless, what we saw did make us feel positive about it and what we liked the best was the fact that they even provide treatment at home. That’s apart from the annual and life membership that they have.
