Shah Ayurvedic Unani Center

Our center is located at 7 Pillana Garden, over in the Ratanpole Nagorishala area. We are quite close to St Mary's School, so we hear the school bells and the kids playing sometimes during the day. Shah Ayurvedic Unani Center has been part of this neighborhood for a while now. It's a traditional kind of place. We have different jars and containers filled with herbs and traditional preparations. The building itself is an older style, which fits what we do. Inside, it smells like roots and dried leaves. We aren't trying to be a modern hospital or anything like that. We just have our consultation area and the place where we keep the medicines. People from around the garden area come in mostly. Sometimes they bring their kids or older parents. We know many of the faces because they've been coming here for years. It's a quiet street for the most part, except when school lets out and there are parents everywhere. We don't use a lot of technology here; we prefer the old ways of doing things. Our shelves are packed with Unani and Ayurvedic items. We spend time cleaning the glass jars and making sure everything is in its right place. It’s a lot of manual work. We open up early and stay until the evening. It’s just us doing what we know how to do in this small corner of the city.
