Malaivel Siddha Hospital

We have been running Malaivel Siddha Hospital in Karivalam vanda nallur for a good while now. It is located in the Sankarankovil Taluk area of Tirunelveli. People around here know the spot. We spend most of our mornings getting things ready for whoever walks through the door. It is a quiet enough place but we stay busy. Siddha medicine is what we do here. There is always a lot of work with the herbs and different preparations. The building is simple. We try to keep things clean and orderly so everyone feels okay when they visit. Sometimes the weather in Tirunelveli gets quite hot, so we make sure there is water and some shade for people waiting. Most of us living nearby just walk to work. It’s a local place. We don’t have fancy signs or anything like that. Just the name out front so people can find us in the taluk. We see families from the village and sometimes people travel a bit from further out in the district. It’s mostly about listening to what's wrong and trying to help with what we have. Days go by pretty fast when there is a line. We close up in the evenings and head home, then start it all over again the next day. It’s just how things go at the hospital. We have been part of this community for a long time. It feels right being here in Karivalam vanda nallur and working in Sankarankovil Taluk.
