Mangalam Siddha Hospital

Our place is No. 574 in Velan Nagar, over in the Udayampalayam area of Chinnavedampaty. Mangalam Siddha Hospital is a bit different from the modern hospitals you might find in the center of town. We focus on traditional ways of helping people feel better. The building is a simple structure that fits right into the neighborhood. It doesn't look like a medical facility from the outside, more like a large house. Inside, it smells of herbs and oils most of the time. We don't have all the high-tech buzzing machines that other places have. Instead, we have jars of natural medicines and treatment rooms that are kept very plain. People come to us when they want a different approach to their health. We spend a lot of time talking to our patients, listening to what they say. It’s a slow pace here. We aren't rushing people in and out like a factory. The staff knows most of the families around Velan Nagar. We don't put out ads in the paper or anything like that. We just stay here and do the work we know how to do. The garden outside has some of the plants we use, and it’s a quiet spot to sit. It’s a practical, humble kind of hospital. We just take each day as it comes and try to be useful to the local community. It is a quiet life and we like it that way.
