A happy Ayurveda experience

12th February. 2026

Dear Doctor Sudesh,

Odette and I are so grateful you took enough time to make our daily lifestyle throughout an insightful diagnostic and very successful two weeks true ayurvedic treatments.

Odette’s main issue was hormonal. Digestive problems, acidity and migraines She still has some digestive issues but otherwise she is feeling great.

For me. all treatments had excellent results from detoxification to body organs maintenance by your very kind and professional team throughout very demanding practices.

Your practical, compassionate approach, especially your emphasis on lifestyle discipline, has been truly transformative. I’m very grateful to say that everything seems to be now normal.

(Note: I continue taking my daily glass of beer. But no worry, I feel balanced calm and well.}.

Your holistic way of taking care of us has given us a sense of control and awareness. Thank you for your patience and genuine commitment to help, not just treating a condition. I hope to be undergoing such kind of healing on a regular basis.

With appreciation, gratitude and respect.

Testimony from Monica

Dear Doctor Sudesh,

Trust you are keeping well.

I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for your guidance and care throughout my journey with hyperthyroidism.

Your practical, compassionate approach,  especially your emphasis on daily lifestyle discipline, has been truly transformative for me. I’m grateful to share that my hormone levels are now normal, and more importantly, I have no symptoms at all. I feel balanced, calm, and well.

I continue to faithfully follow the diet, hydration practices, and asanas you recommended, and they have become part of my daily rhythm rather than a temporary fix. This holistic way of living has given me a sense of control, awareness, and trust in my body that I did not have before.

Thank you for your wisdom, patience, and genuine commitment to healing, not just treating a condition. I carry deep appreciation for the role you’ve played in restoring my health.

With gratitude and respect,

Testimony

13th May, 2021

My name is James Maina.

I came to the Ayurveda Clinic having a number of issues. Mostly draining fatigue lack of focus… Foggy brain… Insomnia. Aching joints and a host of other things.

I had read up a bit about Ayurveda and I was looking to try a more holistic approach to getting better. Natural healing is what I sought. The concept of Ayurveda of body energy balance is eye opening to say the least.

The initial appointment was very helpful and after filling in the requisite form (which asks very interesting questions) we started the Therapy.

The doctor is very experienced and perceptive and encouraging. Her approach to the treatment is holistic. She takes the time to listen with no hurry. The initial Therapy took 17 days and at the end of it a new me emerged.

 In a very subtle yet definitive way Ayurveda simply works!! . I am a convert.

1 month later I am a totally different person. Higher energy levels. Sharp focus. Concentration issues are solved. Insomnia is banished to a distant memory. Joints are getting back to normal.

One has to make certain adjustments to lifestyle choices but these are totally worth it. The proof of the pudding is in the eating and I would definitely encourage everyone who needs a holistic natural therapy to confidently try Ayurveda.

Dear Dr Walia, Glad I could share my experience with others and encourage them to walk this new path.

Keep up the good work.

Regards

James Maina

Review of detox treatment at Ayurvedic Services Limited

When I first went in to consult Dr. Walia I was at my wits end. Perennially fatigued, no appetite, terrible eating habits and feeling bloated and constipated constantly. I also had frequent sugar cravings and had no energy and motivation for anything.

After consultation we decided to begin with the Panchakama detox program (Virechna) to balance my energies and interestingly just two days in, I began getting increased bowel movements as though my body was happy about the decision and determined to purge the toxins with gusto!

Towards the end of the program till now about 2 Weeks after my purgation, I have the energy of a teenager. My appetite is back, bowel movements regular and no more feeling bloated. When my period came again I was surprised, I wasn’t lethargic as usual but really energetic and full of life. My colleagues have been asking me where the energy is all coming from as being end of year everyone is tired and just wants to go for Christmas and recharge yet here I am full of energy without having gone on leave.

The icing on the cake is the weight loss. I was reluctant to weigh in at the end of the program because it was during my period when I would have added weight usually .However to my utter shock and amazement I had lost 7kgs 🤩. I am really grateful to Dr. Walia and her staff for the professional and kind manner they handled me and compared to many other medical professionals who leave one feeling processed.

She really listened to me, understood my issues and I felt that she genuinely cared. She has educated me on lifestyle choices I needed to make so I don’t end up in the same place and I feel really empowered compared to the helplessness I felt before.

Thank you so much Daktari, I’m so blessed that our paths crossed.

Kind regards,

Testimony of patient`on diabetes mellitus

TESTIMONY OF PATIENT`ON DIABETES MELLITUS

My name is Simon Otieno, Kenyan aged 43 and early this year I was diagnosed with high blood sugars or Diabetes mellitus(DM).

On the 11th march 2019 I visited Ayurvedic services ltd clinic in Parkland area of Nairobi and was requested to provide tests on various items as was indicated by the doctor.
On the 21st march 2019, I provided the test result and it was notable that the fasting blood sugar at the time was 28 and I was suffering the following symptoms;\

  1. Frequent urination at night maybe about ten toilet visits between 10pm and 5 am\
  2. Thirst for water or dry mouth\
  3. Fatigue\
  4. Headaches\
  5. Numbness on tips of my fingers

The Doctor prescribed some medication for me and after using these to date my blood sugar has lowered to about 10 for fasting blood sugar. This was made possible by also eating low sugar foods and at the right times. Doctor advised me to take the specific foods and avoid that would aggravate the blood sugar. I was also advised on my life style modification to meet the requirements of my body type (Dosha). I was advised on doing physical exercise to encourage utilization of sugar.

Most of the above mentioned symptoms have drastically reduced. For instance, now night toilet visits are down to about 3, no thirst or dry mouth, I feel stronger and no more headaches. The finger tips now feel warm.
This is my testimony at the moment, 5 months after I started my journey with Ayurveda and the effectiveness of medication and advise provided by the Ayurvedic services Ltd.

A testimony on Deviated Nasal Septum(DNS)

A testimony on Deviated Nasal Septum (DNS)

I am Mary  Nyokabi, 34 years old, employed in a government office in Nairobi, Kenya.

About six months ago; I started feeling constant congestion and headache in the morning and continuous dripping from the nose during the day. It was very disturbing. I could not focus on my work.

I went to see my doctor and was diagnosed with Deviated Nasal Septum (DNS) I was put on inhalers to give me relief which was really temporary. It was not a cure. Deviation had happened due to an injury on my face.

I started searching for alternatives and found the website; www.ayurvedakenya.com that had cited case history like mine. I contacted them on their Facebook page and booked an appointment to see their Ayurveda doctor. I went to see the Ayurveda doctor on 19th July, 2017. I was advised a 7 day Panchakarma therapy called Nasya. I started the therapy on 20th July and within 3 days, I started feeling much better.

I was given some oral Ayurveda products to continue with for some time and I am amazingly feeling so good. There is no blockage, congestion or nasal dripping and the deviation seems to be gone completely. Doctor has advised me to keep myself warm, take warm water, warm food and avoid cold drinks.

I am so grateful to God that such a treatment is available in Kenya.

Testimony on arthritis

24thJuly, 2017

My name is Dimple Vagani, a 36 year old wife and a mother to a School going child. I had been suffering from Arthritis for the past 10 years. Usually people start suffering from arthritis at a later age but because of inheriting from both of my parents’ side; I became a victim from the young age of 26. Doctors gave me pain killers and later steroids. These would give me relief from pain but the disease kept on progressing. I started developing Ulcers due to the constant use of the pain killers and last year, the ulcers ruptured. I had to go through Laparoscopy and the Doctors asked me to stop taking medicines which means the relief from the joint pains also stopped.

My condition became unbearable. My life changed completely. I would not want to move from the chair or do anything, not even play with my child and bond with him. The pain in my joints had taken over my life. My knees had swollen to an extent that it was difficult for me to walk. My fingers had started losing shape and my night mare was the life of a cripple. I became desperate and could not imagine living like a handicapped, physically as well as emotionally. I wanted to be normal again, walk, dance and walk gracefully on heeled sandals, at least when I was attending some functions. I wanted to be happy again.

I started checking on the internet for some alternatives, some answers to cure my arthritis and I stumbled upon the web site of ayurvedakenya. I called them to check if they could really treat my arthritis as promised on their site. They assured me of positive results and on 7th February, 2017, I went for a Consultation. I had taken all my medical records with me. I was thoroughly checked and advised to go through an Ayurveda Panchkarma therapy for 11 days. It is called VIRECHNA. It is some sort of Ayurveda detox that removes the toxins from the body, repairs and rejuvenates the Cells.

I wanted to be well again and agreed to follow the Ayurveda Doctor’s advice. Our Kenyan Insurance companies do not recognize Ayurveda treatments. I was told AETNA and some International companies do support Ayurveda treatment. Indian Government had made it compulsory for the Insurance Companies to recognize alternative medicine .But for me the single most important thing was to be my normal self again. What use is that Insurance that only pays to make me sicker! My family supported me fully for this decision as well as throughout the painful and hard times of my struggle with arthritis.

I went through the 11 days Virechna Panchkarma therapy first that ended on 19th February, 2017. This was to detox my body and help my ruptured ulcers heal.

After two Weeks, I went through Vasti for eight days, another Panchkarma Therapy. It is a specific ayurvedic herbal enema to balance my Vata Dosha and to remove Ama Vata (Rheumatoid Arithritis) from my body.

After 5 months, I can say, I am lot better. I am an active young lady like anyone else of my age. I am able to walk swiftly, even dance and wear 2-3” heals. Once again, I am able to enjoy life. There is some pain during cold weather but that is nothing compared to what it used to be 5 months ago. I do take some oral Ayurveda medicines. I have also made changes to my diet. I was given a chart on what to eat and what not to. I came to know that according to Ayurveda, each individual is born with a specific type of constitution and we should eat what is compatible with our body type. I am becoming more aware of my body’s responses.

I feel so lucky to have found Ayurvedakenya which has given my life back to me. I believe my destiny had opened the ayurvedakenya site in February 2017, so that I could be well again.

Dipsvagani.

Testimonial

Ms. Winnie Imanyara

My experience
My name is Winnie Kathurima- Imanyara. I am married and a mother of three grown up boys plus a beautiful daughter-in-law. I work as a bank director and serve in several boards both as a member and as a Chair in others. My life can therefore get extremely busy.
With this in mind and because I am a Christian who believes our bodies are GOD’s temple and must taken care of, I observe the life style I lead. I have been blessed with good health.

Recently, I sat over lunch with an old friend of mine. She looked so good compared to the last time we met. Her skin was glowing .She was full of energies and happy. I complimented her. Then the story stared.
Rose had just completed her treatment at the Ayurveda centre. She told me the entire story in detail. It is then I decided to take this treatments. To continue feeling good and also as a preventive measures. I know we stop chasing diseases and instead diseases chase us.
I called the doctor and made an appointment.
A young confident and very friendly doctor attended to me. He explained me what is Ayurveda is about, body types and how different we all are, the various treatments, the expected outcome, and finally welcomed me.

Before I started, I Googled ,I spoke to my children – testing, testing. Both the Google search and the children confirmed what the doctor had told me.

Monday morning, I walked into the doctor’s room with confidence ready to look and eel great.
I have gone through three different types of treatments. It is delightful; it is an experience you do not need to explain. People around you start getting the immediately. But watch out, it is inspiring. You get people asking, complimenting and others wanting to do what you have done.

Being of Christian faith, we have a responsibility to ensure our bodies- God’s temple are looked after.

Some of the benefits I got are: Clarity of Mind. This is important in my job and as a leader
Ability to focus better– even with the hustle and bustle of our cities and lives\

Lighter and agile

Increase energy

Weight loss

Now I what to eat for my body type and appreciate my food more

I have recommended my friends to try this and my workmates too.
Next time you see your friend looking and feeling great, chances are, they are doing this Ayurvedic treatments. I met so many people that I know this is what they do-how they live their lives.

I have planned for another treatment before close of this year and will have a least two every year God willing.

The staff is awesome. The proprietor is a woman of excellence. She has a character that spells peace and love, always smiling and chatty. A woman with a purpose to promote helath living the way nature meant it to be.
I wish to thank the entire staff and management of this center and encourage more people to try it out.

After all live is not a rehearsal. We live it once, so let us make the best out of it.

Mr. Harry Mugo

I was introduced to this Ayurveda clinic by a Rotarian friend through Sudesh walia, sometime last year.
I had excruciating pain in both knees, lower back due to osteoarthritis and Gout. The pain was bad to an extent, that I was using crutches for walking.

The therapies I have received are unbelievably miraculous. My pain in knee is gone and lower back pain no longer gives me sleepless nights. Dr. Mangesh is a wonderful councilor. I have found a cure to my health problems. I am now more focused, clam and looking brighter on my face.

Congratulation, please keep up the good work. I know now, there are enormous health benefits in Ayurveda and will not hesitate to recommend to others.
